Watched JP Prince in person. He will be a huge help. He can handle the rock. He is smooth as silk. Watched Cameron Tatum on rivals film. He looks great. He is a 6'6 swingman. He can play the 2 or 3. Great athlete,can shoot and handle the ball well. Brian Williams is a project. He has a long way to go. Watch this tape. He is in red wearing #33 http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...59309426485839

UT is in on a ton of 4 star players in the 2008 class. Chris Singleton is a kid that is favoring UT. His film on rivals is great. He is 6'9 215lbs. Can shoot,handle the ball well and is a great athlete. Elliot Williams is another stud favoring UT. He is the best player in Memphis now. He is 6'4 175lbs. He is the 3rd ranked point guard in the 2008 class.

If they can get Singleton, Jurick, and Williams in this next class that'd be huge. That'd be even better than the Crews/Chism/Smith/Tabb class. I thought they'd never top it.

UT turned down Juco stud Rodney Alexander. Alexander chose Illinois today. Who would ever thought UT would ever turn down good players? I have never been this excited over UT Hoops. Pearl will do big things at UT.

**burton2019** · April 18th, 2007, 10:25 PM

Although I'm not a fan, I really like the way Pearl is handling that program. They should be pretty good next year.

**PVVikeFan** · April 18th, 2007, 10:30 PM

I hate UT in any sport, but Pearl seems to be a GREAT coach.

**M&Ms** · April 19th, 2007, 10:05 AM

He is a great coach, to take a team as far as they did when at the beginning of the season they were struggling.
