re: 4* Top-100 PG William Jackson flips from UConn to UGA

Sounds like UGA is in good shape to get Beasley from what one of our hoops insiders said.

I wanted him bad.

Here is in my estimation, a look at the big board (in order)

Heavy Tennessee Lean w/ Committable Offer
3* JUCO PG Dequon Miller

First Tier Targets
5* PG Jawun Evans (Evans will officially visit Tennessee; emerged as the #1 overall player on the board due to need at PG; exploded at NBPA Camp)
5* SF Dwayne Bacon (Tennessee coaches quietly feel they are the team to beat here going in to July)
4* SG Malik Beasley (Tennessee is on him hard, but most feel it will be tough to pull him out of GA)
4* F Chris Clarke (One of the first players identified by the staff, Clarke fits Tyndall's system perfectly; also exploded in Charlottesville; will be a tough pull)

2nd Tier Targets
4* PF Luke Maye (Tennessee is a real factor here; Tennessee will likely only take one post in the class and Maye may be in a position to take that spot if he wants it)
G Shembari Phillips (If Tennessee strikes out with Beasley, Phillips is a guy who could take his spot. Coaches will watch him in July, but his stock is steadily climbing)
PG Everson Davis (Not a take right now, but Tennessee desperately needs a HS PG in this class and they liked what they saw out of him in the spring)
3* C Tacko Fall (The tallest player in the class at 7'5, Fall is an interesting fit for Tyndall, who seems to prefer smaller and more athletic posts)

Long Shots who would have a spot if they wanted:
5* SF Jaylen Brown (Little to no chance, but Tennessee has done what they can)
4* C Skal Labissiere (Tennessee seems to be slowly creeping in to the picture here and could be in a position to receive an official, but signing him in the end would be a huge shock)
