I'm hoping we get stokes and someone else. I like isaiah stokes game real smooth more of a shooter then his brother. IN THE Early YEArs. Gonna be a good class for us. Hopefully top 25.

I hope we get him too, but it will be hard to get a top 25 class since they'll more than likely only be signing 2 players.

That's truu.. so who u wanting. depending on how kyle develop he might be here maybe one more year, unless he stays 4 years regularless.

I'd be happy with Lance Thomas and Stokes. I think we are set at the 1-3 positions. We just need some more post players and they'd be some solid ones.

I'm liking a class of isaiah stokes and Raiquan Gray. Is the class I like both tweeners that can play big if needed.
 
So, since school is done or almost done in most states, have we or shouldn't we be hearing about recruits visit dates?!

VU visited 4/19. Not sure if Thomas has or not yet, but he will soon. The # of visits are so limited in bball its hard to catch em.

Thanks, I guess I am just spoiled with football recruiting info. I knew a while back someone said summer was the big time for recruiting so figured recruits would be tweeting or through recruiting services be telling of their visit dates they had planned for this summer. :hi:

I hear ya about the football info. And summer usually is, but

1. I think the type of guys Barnes is gonna be after(VU is top 100 tho April isn't really summer) isn't gonna be big on building any hype. and

2. Hopefully for us, football weekends is where its gonna be at.
 
I really like Huffman, Uyaelumno and Thomas as post options...would like to see us add a wing as well because I'm sure we will likely lost 1 after the season is over. A Jermaine Samuels or Andre Rafus would be ideal, my guess is you likely only see 2 early signees and probably both post guys. As the season plays out and the staff gets a feel for the players they will identify a possible spring addition on the wing.
 
Know you didn't ask me but I want Thomas and Uyaelunmo.

He's got size, outside shot and a name I would pay $ to hear Bob Kesling say.

I like both of them but I like stokes cause he's a instate talent and a house hold name for the Vols like jordan bone was. I like lance but he's not a big leapers he reminds me of grant williams a little bit but less powerful and a little taller. I really want Uyaelumno but he seem like a long shot. Imo

That's why I like Raiquan Gray. He a 3 in a bigger body he's 6'8 235 with handles and a jump shot. Like a taller admiral schofield.
