Hearing Jabari McGhee has committed. Will be a bit before he's off Campus and we have a story, but looks like the first commit is in the fold.

3* Kevin Punter - A 6'4 170 lb. SG from the Bronx made it official this morning. Giving Tyndal his second known commit for the 2014 class.

quote:

Punter averaged 20.3 points per game this season for State Fair, shooting 57.1 percent from the field, 37.1 percent from 3-point range and 82.7 percent from the free-throw line. He also averaged 4.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

UK's Barry Rohrssen was reason for Detrick Mostella (#44/#85) Pitt commitment. Expecting an UT announcement soon

Would be massive.

Ian Chiles and Tariq Owens — are expected to be on campus at some point this week. Chiles is a fifth-year transfer from IUPUI and a solid, versatile guard, while Owens is a big man from Maryland who initially signed with Ohio but then had a late growth spurt, went from 6-7 to nearly 6-10 and suddenly became a much, much more intriguing prospect. The Vols have a very good chance to land Owens, according to a couple of college basketball sources.

Tennessee also is in play for Florida Gulf Coast transfer Eric McKnight — a 6-9 forward with one season of eligibility remaining — and a couple of other Division I transfers, including some who we believe haven’t been mentioned anywhere in the media. Tyndall is a grinder on the recruiting trail and has plenty of connections, and we think the Vols are going to continue to emerge on the lists of several transfers.

Kevin Punter gets a slight bump up in his ranking. Going from an 85 3* to a 88 3* and the 20th overall player coming out of JUCO this year.

I think our names being mentioned, but I'm not sure there's much more traction than that. Still, it's nice that upper echelon guys are hearing from the new staff. Hoping Owens goes ahead and pulls the trigger soon.

Big news on Mostella and his academic concerns

quote:

In news that certainly could soften the potential blow of losing Thompson for good, we heard Monday night that Vols top-50 guard signee Detrick Mostella’s academic situation continues to look solid. In other words, Tennessee at this point fully expects him to qualify.

That would be huge news, if that’s indeed the case. Mostella is a very, very exciting prospect. He’s one of the more intriguing backcourt players in that class. He’s not a pure point guard, and he’s not a pure shooting guard. He’s certainly a combo guard, and he’s very athletic — the kind of athlete whose dunks are often SportsCenter Top 10-quality — and can score in several ways.

Dequon Miller, juco PG, tweeting out tonight that he is visiting Knoxville tomorrow unofficially.

I spoke with him on Monday and at that time he wasn't sure about making the trip this week, however, had a ton of positives to say about the Vols and their recruiting efforts in his direction.

He told me when we spoke that he pretty much had Tennessee penciled into his top 3 already and was set on making an official here in the fall.

I would say this is probably one to watch closely.

Spoke with Dequon to follow up on his unofficial visit.

He told me he loved everything about the visit. Blown away by the facilities. Said it was tough to leave without committing and added that Tennessee was firmly at te top of his list.

I would speculate that NC State and Memphis are probably going to emerge as the competition.

Vols are in a good spot there and adding a juco pg in this class is probably a nice fit for the staff.
