Need to add one more big man in that 19 class. Looking like they could be going with 2 primary ball handlers starting as some good teams have done in recent years.

Josiah to go along with 3 senior guards (Bone, Turner, Bowden) in that 19-20 season and a senior Grant Williams in the post could be a more dangerous tourney team than what we'll have this year.

Judging by Twitter, so did Clemson

Hell of a pickup. Barnes has a Top 10 team coming into the season and a bright trajectory for the program moving forward. Not to mention a lengthy list of players he's put into the NBA. Glad he pulled the trigger for the good guys.

Here's an article that James wrote himself. Published today by The Moultrie News, detailing going through the recruiting process and why he decided to choose UT & Coach Barnes. Sounds like a classy, very intelligent kid.

quote:

Josiah James is the top-ranked basketball player in South Carolina. He’s listed as the third-best combo guard in the entire nation. He’s won three state championships at Porter-Gaud and a gold medal with Team USA. He's the highest-rated player to ever come out of the Lowcountry. Josiah received his first scholarship offer in sixth grade. He’s collected 41 more since then. These are his words, his story, told his way. This is his decision.

Frank Martin needs to ask Rick Barnes about how to recruit the state of South Carolina.

This is one of the best recruiting cycles that state of SC has had in awhile and South Carolina has completely missed on every. single. player.

I continue to believe my Mark Richt-Rick Barnes comparison is spot on.

I don’t think I’ve been too hard on Barnes. I said he needed to add one big time player in the 19 class with Schofield graduating and he did. Have I said anything about Barnes’ recruiting that isn’t fair? I honestly don’t think so. I haven’t been down on his recruiting at all that I remember.

You used to hammer him for only bringing in 3 star players.

I’ve referred to his team as the 3 star bandits a few times after bad losses but I don’t think I’ve ever legitimately questioned his recruiting.
