re: UA Basketball Recruiting

If we keep Kira Lewis, ink Trendon Watford, hold on to Juwan Gary, will you be more pumped about the upcoming 2019/2020 season than you were for the 2017/2018 season?

2017/2018
- Signed 5-Star Collin Sexton
- Signed 5-Star John Petty
- Signed 4-Star Alex Reese
- Signed 3-4 Star Herb Jones
- Picked up transfer of Ohio State big man Daniel Giddens, a former 4-Star
- Mix this talent with SEC Freshman of the Year Braxton Key
- Avery Johnson’s 3rd season

vs

2019/2020
- Hold on to 5-Star Kira Lewis, who technically should be in this class anyway
- Sign 5-Star Trendon Watford
- Sign 4-Star Juwan Gary
- Sign 4-Star Jaylen Forbes
- Sign 4-Star Jaden Shackelford
- Sign 4-Star Raymond Hawkins
- See if last years 3-4 Star Players, Diante Wood & Javian Fleming, have anything to offer
- Add new coach, Nate Oats, a blue-collar gym rat

I’m more excited about this upcoming season than I was about the Collin Sexton class!! Let’s Go!!

Tennessee fans will go Chernobyl if that happens!

I’ll have to take off work just to witness the meltdown in real-time

Please let this be true

Seems to be a lot of smoke.


I think Tennessee's first call would be Forbes, was an assistant there 5 years. Currently is coaching at East Tennessee State. Seems like it would be a good match.

Would the Vols bring Forbes in. Didn't Pearl kinda throw him under the bus up there

Byrne did it the right way. shite is about to get sloppy

What if Barnes goes to UCLA, and Pearl went back to Tennessee?

I don't think Tenn would take Pearl back, their relationship ended pretty badly, he lied to the administration and the NCAA.

Cobrasize makes a good point, asking if they would even take Forbes back. I think they would, especially this late in the game.

I thought the relationship was strained wPearl/Forbes but an Athletic article suggests otherwise


Vol fans though probably don't care either way
