Recruiting for 2011

[zjcvols]

Right now, we will lose Goins, Williams, and Fields as contributors to this year team, along with Steven Pearl and Josh Bone. That's five out of your top 12. Right now the rotation looks like this for the 2011-2012 season.

PG Golden/Jones/Ware
SG Hopson/Ware/McBee
SF Tatum/McRae
PF Harris/Woolridge/Maymon
C Hall/?

I mean, we need two more big men it looks like. Not too mention another guard, if Hopson goes pro and has a big season. Harris has one-n-done talent.

We have scholarships to give out. Now it looks like we are in great shape for 2012. We are in for many top guys. But we need two big guys and another wing wouldn't hurt.

i would expect Bruce to go the juco route or a transfer

 

[FittyElevem]

Hopson has been going pro since he was a freshman. I think he is here for 4 years and still lucky to get in the league. He has the talent but is very sloppy with the ball.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

very good chance of an NBA lockout so Scotty and Tobias would stay.

 

[oryankees]

hopefully we can get some good post players also cause there will be NO ONE other than hall or harris for center

 

[zjcvols]

The biggest concern is Center. We don't even know if Hall can play the 5 consistently yet.

I have a question is John Fields a Jr or Sr, I think he is a Sr isn't he?

 

[top5vols]

John Fields is a Sr.

 

[lylsmorr]

if Hopson goes pro and has a big season.

About that...

And Harris has already said he plans on staying at least 2 years.

It's doubtful. But the guy has the talent.

And we'll see about Tobias. I think he will though.

 

[YankeeVol]

We need some bigs in this next class.....it will be interesting to see what Pearl can do with the self imposed sanctions

 

[MikeDVol]

I would consider it a failure if harris isn't one and done

 

[lylsmorr]

:no:

 

[zjcvols]

Is Blake Griffin a failure for not being one-n-done?

 

[MikeDVol]

I love having harris don't get me wrong but the better he does the better for our recruiting. Bruce needs to show he can get you to the NBA

No doubt. But it won't be a failure if he doesn't. Let's say he has a decent 1st year, needs some improvement, but goes pro and is a 25-30 range. But he comes back, improves his game, and is a top 5 pick, what is better for UT?

Harris can go to the NBA when he wants to go. He knows that, it doesn't matter when he goes. Doesn't seem to be hurting our recruiting for next year, does it?

 

[MikeDVol]

No we look pretty good right now

 

[MY3*VOLS]

Scotty going pro...? He needs to be working on having a good season and then a great season next year to be consistent. He is talented but how many great talented college kids never play again, go to d league or Europe.

I don't think so either. However, I was stating there is that possibility.

I hear Cam Newton may be available soon.

 

[volfan55]

I hear Cam Newton may be available soon.

At the right price.

A BBQ chicken plate with cole slaw and potato salad isn't enough for that kid
