WRK Basketball Media Question

  • I just have a question. I know right now football is priority for most reporters. I just wondered why Tennessee hasn't received much national attention for landing two big name recruits and it seems that there is a very good vibe around the basketball program. I mean I guess I just see Kentucky and Duke etc being covered but other programs aren't covered as much nationally offseason.

  • I don't think Tennessee has been slighted in any way, really. Haven't heard much about other traditional powers, either. Not much North Carolina or Kansas chatter, etc.

    UT is a top-25 type team with some talent - namely Stokes - that has been recognized nationally in the early stages. Remember, practice just started Friday. The Vols will get their fair share of press.
