It was no secret they weren't getting those guys, Barnes passed on Huffman and Johnson and Manley never included Tennessee on his final list.
I have to sort of disagree about Johnson after knowing what I knew about 1 month ago. Can't believe CRB just turned him away.
Well no disrespect but your info about Johnson came out to be dead wrong, the other info out there proved to be correct and it said Tennessee and Barnes' cooled on him...so that's what I'm going with.
What I meant about disagreeing about Johnson was that he was going to come to Knoxville but your statement appeared to me to be otherwise all along. I know I ended up being dead wrong about Mr. Johnson but the source was from a good one at Rivals.
Turns out he was even fooled by the choice of the turnaround by CRB. No problem though. We all can get wrong information sometimes. Most of mine has come from 247 Sports though & not Rivals. I was shocked as anybody when CRB turned Chase Johnson away.
Like I've said in other post, for it to happen that quickly CRB must have found out something he didn't like about Chase either off-the court or in some other area of his life. That's the only explanation I have because it was an 80%-90% go for Chase committing to us. Thanks!
Interesting, because rivals was the one saying Johnson would not be taking an official visit to Tennessee and rivals was the one also saying Tennessee had cooled on him and his offer was likely no longer commitable...so not sure who you read that by from rivals? Thanks.
Usually, it would be from 247 Sports strictly since that's the main source I use but this did come from Rivals this time about Johnson.
I don't think any team that went 15-19 can saying they are too loaded at guard to not even call upon a Top 50 player 90 minutes down the road.
I didn't say we would get him, but some contact will be made.
I've been out of the loop for a while (moved to China to teach, had a baby, etc). Can anyone bring me up to speed on top recruiting targets and how this recruiting class is shaping up?
