Just saw this tweet today:

Vol Basketball @AllVolBall
Vols have offered a scholarship to 6'5 Guard @peytonallen22. Also has offers from TAMU, Butler, Wichita St.

Didn't have time to do much research, just that he's from Springfield, IL.

I like the sound of 6-5 SG.

We've had darn good luck with our last basketball recruit from Springfield, IL.

Rivals doesn't even show us on his list let alone a offer

I'm drawing a blank. What former player was from there?

Peyton did retweet the one I posted, without correction, and he's followed by coach Heiar.

I searched all over SB Nation. Didn't find us mentioned at all.

Of course, the same could be said of Tekele Cotton. Hmmmmm.

Alex Harden, I believe.

It's tough to keep track when the girls go by guys' names.

Winner.

Doesn't it seem like we are looking at adding BOTH a post and a wing?

Yes, and if you watch the offers closely, probably a center and a PG as well. We offer far more positions and scholarships than we have room to add. It doesn't mean much until/if they sign.

Best available player we can sign would be an either/or.

[pinstripers]

Maybe, I hadn't noticed any current offers with point guards though, just interest, etc.

I suspect that a lot of this ongoing recruiting and interest in players has as much to do with relationship building and keeping a high profile in the recruiting circles as I does in actually expecting or looking to sign many of these guys. You never know when one of these guys may decided to transfer in a couple of years and having that relationship can come in handy. I think Malcolm Armstead is a good example of that. 3G mentioned on the Coach K interview that the had recruited Malcolm a couple of times and that he ended up contacting 3G when he decided to transfer from Oregon.
