Just a few things...

-CCM visited with Nichols and J3 both this week, and also checked in on current committs Hubbs & Davis. As posted in another thread, he was also at CPA for a 6am work that featured 2 targets, Jalen Lindsey and Braxton Blackwell.

- For those of you interested in a big man, here ya go. CCM tweeted a picture of Busch Stadium yesterday and asked if you could guess his location? Keanu Post, a 6'11" big man happens to attend Southwern Illinois College (juco), and CCM stopped in to check him out. He is a guy who's attracting many high major schools already, look for us to monitor him throughout the year.

- Rob Lewis and Volquest are reporting that Tennessee has gained momentum in the last week with Austin Nichols, and that he's obviously their top remaining priority. While Lewis says he isn't ready to call Nichols a lock, things are looking very good for Tennessee heading into their October 20th visit.

- Maybe the biggest news, Robert Hubbs is expected to return to Tennessee campus on....October 20th....I'll let you figure out the importance here. (Look at the note right above)

- It seems like things have cooled with Rimmer, not clear if that was mutual or one side or the other, but I don't expect to hear much of Rimmer and Tennessee mentioned together. Alex Foster is the only other recruit who is scheduled to visit Tennessee officially at this point, and that is scheduled to take place October 9th.

- Rob Lewis is also clearing up the Alec Peters situation...apparently there was some miscommunication with the staff and Peters. He HAS NOT been offered a schoarship, and at this point Lewis says an offer is not expected. With Wisconsin and Illinois waiting to see what happens in spring before they decide to offer or not, it may be that is what Tennessee is also doing.

Oct 20th will be huge--especially if UT can carry the momentum and Hubbs makes it in too.

Gotta think UT is only improving its chances with Nichols with each new development.

Exciting times, indeed.

It is good to see Zo is looking for a big man. That seems to be the greatest need.

Gotta like the fact that Hubbs is coming back for Nichols' visit. It'll also be Nichols' last visit before the signing period.

He has a tentative visit to auburn scheduled for November 1st...I doubt he's still uncommitted by then and doubt he takes that visit, but just figured I'd mention it.

The bit on Peters makes A LOT more sense now. I just couldn't believe we had legitimately offered him with some of the other guys we have on the board.

My only question is, how good of friends are Hubbs and Nichols? Are they play ball together pals only,or are they hang out together pals?

Well, they live an hour and a half apart, so i doubt they hang out much, but they spend there entire summers together on the AAU circuit as teammates, and are reportedly good friends.

As said below, it's not like they live in the same town, so they're not best friends or anything. However, they hit it of this summer and became good friends, probably hubbs best friend who is a D1 level player.

They really, really enjoyed playing ball together, and their chemistry on the court is very impressive, especially for only playing one summer together.

Bleed - Appreciate you keeping us advised on the Bball recruiting front! When you have an opportunity can you lay out who we are looking at in 2014?

Yea it's in the works should have something pretty solid in the next couple weeks, hopefully Nichols makes it easy and ends this soon.

JW3 was in the first point, Coach Martin met with him this week.

Thanks BTO! Keeping up with recruiting is fun when UT is targeting so many good players!
