A friend of mine, and fellow Vol alumnus, works with a very high profile basketball team. Let's just say they were one of the top 8 seeds this year in the tournament. He asked the coach of that school who he would hire if he wanted to kind of "hire on the cheap," but still have that "wow" factor that could get into recruits homes and excite the fan base. Apparently it didn't take long for the coach to throw a name out there that has a good name due to his dad, has had some success, recruits really well, plays a fun brand of ball, has some experience at a power 5 program, and has ties to the south.

He said he thought Jr would listen to Tennessee.
I hadn't heard his name, but was rather intrigued. Well, never-the-less, thought I would throw that out there.
AND NO I AM NOT SAYING THAT HE IS OR IS NOT A CANDIDATE....just thought I would pass it along.
