In the portal, Tennessee is hosting Hofstra guard Darlinstone Dubar and Belmont guard Cade Tyson.
I really like where Tennessee stands with ‘DStone.’ He’ll fly in later tonight from Charlotte, while Tyson will drive over from North Carolina with his family today. Tennessee seems to feel good about its chance with Tyson, but he has strong ties to the Tar Heel State and the Tar Heels are desperate for shooters, so it’ll be tough.
Tennessee is also having conversations with Ohio State guard Roddy Gayle Jr. and big men Clifford Omoruyi from Rutgers, and Christian Reeves from Duke. UT is having ongoing discussions about whether or not to bring in a big man who can shoot or one who can protect the rim. They’re somewhat working behind the eight-ball because they weren’t expecting thing to lose Tobe AND Jonas. Had told some bigs that reached out to them that they already had 3.
On the high school front: Rick Barnes and Gregg Polinsky were set to meet with Hoover, Ala. big man DeWayne Brown this morning. The 2025 center is scheduled to announce between UT and Miss St on the 20th. It seems like a tight race at the moment, with the Vols MAYBE having a slight lead.
Oh, and I don’t expect Jahmai Mashack to leave. And Tennessee is scheduled to meet with Tobe Awaka today, so the door is open for a potential return for Awaka.
