    Kerry Blackshear Jr update: UK is in a great spot for KB

    Matt Jones did not say Blackshear is going to Tennessee. But in an interview with a Charlotte radio station about PJ Washington in the NBA, he said he heard some things to indicate it might happen. The stuff about Blackshear is in the 13th minute but he talks a lot of Kentucky basketball through...

    I fear Blackshear may be going to UT

    Here's the link. It is a pay site all you can see is Evan Daniels posted a thread on the Vol board. https://247sports.com/college/tennessee/Board/114/Contents/Kerry-Blackshear-Jr-133033599/

    Blackshear down to UK and UT

    That is the bottom line. Nobody knows, not Mr. Henley or any blogger or fans. It is his future and his decision.

    Blackshear down to UK and UT

    Where I think Henley may be off base is not including Florida as a likely destination. When a decision is tough, proximity often carries the day.

    Blackshear down to UK and UT

    II think mostly it just means that Blackshear and his parents had a very constructive couple of days visit in Knoxville where questions were answered about where he would fit in both on the court and academically. From what i gather, a selling point is that he can step right into the Grant...

    Blackshear down to UK and UT

    The original source was Gene Henley, a sportswriter for the Chattanooga paper. That does not mean that the "traditional" press is always infallible, but it does suggest that this might have more legitimacy than mere wishful thinking.

    Grant Williams

    Not going to be a season in the top ten all year next year for the Vols for sure. On the other hand, I think anybody who believes the Vols are dropping to the bottom of the SEC might be wrong. Williams and Bone were three star players when they got to Tennessee and it is not unreasonable to...

    Rick Barnes - Brutally Honest

    In the long run, I think it works out for the betterment of the Vol basketball program. The basketball coach at UT is now paid more than the football coach. Barnes forced the UT athletic department to commit to winning in basketball and pay market value for a coach.

    Rick Barnes - Brutally Honest

    It might not help with some recruits, but it will possibly help with more than it hurts. Players have to look out for what's best for themselves, and number one with recruits generally is trust in the coach and his honesty. As fans, we like to think that what is the be all and end all is our...

    Calipari visits Jalen Johnson

    Vandy was really strong earlier but the Bryce Drew collapse did not help Vandy's chances. I suspect Virginia may be a possibility too.

    Calipari visits Jalen Johnson

    The Webb School player is Keon Johnson. And the Wisconsin high school player Jalen Johnson is obviously the topic of this thread. But Jalen Johnson from North Carolina is already at UT and will be a redshirt senior in 2020. He came in with Grant Williams and was actually ranked higher than Grant...

    Cincinnati targeting Frank Martin...

    If Frank Martin ever decides to leave SC, it would seem that he would leave for his hometown school, the University of Miami, when Larranaga retires.

    Calipari visits Jalen Johnson

    I can almost guarantee Jalen Johnson will be a Tennessee Vol when practice opens in the fall of 2020.

    Rick Barnes to UCLA?

    B Our neighbors in UK land understand the nuisance of fending off lesser programs trying to steal our coaches. It is rather like swatting away gnats.
