Basketball Recruiting

  • Is there any recuiting news on our basketball team? It just seems like we don't have as much about them, and I'd like to see who we're recruiting, who's coming for officials, where we stand with prospects, and etc. Thanks in advance.

    I had an update on Ashaun Tatum a couple of weeks ago (linked below) but the majority of our coverage the next 10 days will focus on football recruiting and Signing Day.

  • Thanks, I've read the above article already, but I appreciate all you do and understand where our focus is right now. I'll just keep checking back to see what we have.

  • I think Barbee got exactly what he needed from this Signing class coming in this Fall. Jordan Price is EXACTLY what this team needs. He has size and scoring ability unlike anything we currently have. It will be hard to keep him out of the starting lineup. Johnson is the kind of athlete you need to play shut down defense and electrify the crowd. He will keep the student section on their feet and in the game. Granger will add some size. Tatum really intrigues me. He is a shot blocking machine and brings some much needed size to the team. However, his film indicates he has the potential to be a 12-16 point per game kind of player as well. That I did not expect to see. We all hate on Rob C but if his inside game can progress a little more I would love to see him at PF with Tatum at C. That would give us size and scoring ability down low which is something we haven't had, consistently, in many years. Kouassi will need another year of coming off the bench but a year in the weight room will help him increase him minutes next season.

    The point guard position is what scares me the most. Ward, although still struggling to be 100%, is not playing to the level I thought he would. Wallace is outplaying him right now. That position HAS to be shored up for us to make an ncaa run next year.

    I'm anxious to see who doesn't return. We have 4 signees and the possibility of adding another transfer while only losing 3 seniors. If they all get in someone will be gone...maybe two.

  • Nice post! I agree, we have some very good recruits coming in. I'm real excited about the potential next year's team will have. Chubb has been so up and down this season but he's the best big we have right now .I couldn't agree more about him possibly moving to the PF position.

    Ward hasn't been healthy but maybe will get there by season's end. I'm curious to see who wouldn't be returning. Did we ever hear anything about the Virginia transfer who was looking at us a little while back?

  • K.T. Harrell is the transfer but I haven't heard if that went through or not. He's a heck of a player and we would be lucky to have him.
