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.

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.

Going to try and bring some life back to this thread.

Volfan30, if you see this feel free to drop some info in here. You always bring good BB discussion and I know there are several of us on here who are enjoy talking basketball.

Today From Wes Rucker.

Another interesting note: Barnes said John Calipari pushed him as hard as anyone to take the Tennessee job. Cal told him Tennessee was a "great" place where he could win big.

FWIW, Barnes and Cal have been good friends since 1978. Adds an interesting subplot to the Vols-Cats rivalry, for sure.

Barnes said that they will play at Gonzaga and schedule is almost complete.

He added Gonzaga will likely come to Nashville next year.

He added he'd like to play a game in ATL.


Let's get it

Random thoughts in a dead thread:

Barnes beat all of UT's rivals (UK, UF, & VU) in his first year on the job with a depleted roster. I think bright things are coming back to Knoxville. If we can start recruiting at a high level I will be very excited about basketball season again for the first time in a while. Here's to hoping

UT picks up local 3* 6'5 180 lb. SG, Jordan Bowden from Carter HS in Knoxville. Played a year of prep ball in South Carolina where he started to pick up some steam on the trail.

Offers from some good mid majors like Cincinnati, Marquette, Providence and Tulsa.

He reminds me a lot of Jordy Mac coming out of HS. VQ staff seems to be very high on him despite his 83 rating

Rob Lewis this afternoon on the Pons kid out of France:

Have heard some things just this afternoon that lead me to believe Tennessee is putting themselves in very good position with him.

Don't know what the timetable might be but based on what I'm hearing feels like they may be putting themselves in a spot where they might be the team to beat.
