Which class of ‘23 @Vol_Football recruits should you be buying stock in?

Take it with a grain of salt, but here’s each newcomer’s 247Composite ranking over time via @247Sports

I’ll be keeping my 👀 on Nathan Leacock, Daevin Hobbs, and Arion Carter this fall

Haven’t posted in forever but I have to leave a tweet in remembrance of @wesruckerTBA

I’ve never been so sad about someone I’ve never met but Wes, unbeknownst to him, helped me be a better person and dad while still loving the Vols. Will never forget you Wes 🙏#TeamRucker

The #Vols just signed the highest rated HS recruit in the 247Composite EVER 🤯

Every time I think Barnes may slow down in recruiting because I think he’s at the sunset of his career, he goes out and does something like this. Can’t wait to watch Ament

Go Vols! @Vol_Hoops

[vfl_data @vfl_data]

I’m still in denial that Zakai Zeigler and Jahmai Mashack played their last game for @Vol_Hoops

No exaggeration when I say they are two of my favorite #VFL’s of all time. One tweet cannot sum up my appreciation for them.

Thank you Zakai Zeigler & @JahmaiM 🙌🏽

Tonight will mark the 2nd time ever @Vol_Hoops has played in Lucas Oil Stadium. The first? Coincidentally on this exact day 11 years ago when the #Vols lost a heartbreaker in the Sweet 16 to 2-seed Michigan.

(Side note, that 2014 team had some studs)

[vfl_data @vfl_data]

For the first time in @Vol_Hoops history, Tennessee has made 3 straight Sweet 16’s!

Barnes gets flack for his March record but I’d say it stems from taking such good teams into March and bowing out to a lower seed (outside of last year). Will this year be different? 😬

[vfl_data @vfl_data]

I don’t care what anyone says, I’m proud to have Rick Barnes as our coach. 6 times out of the past 8 seasons having 22+ regular season wins is incredible.

Discovered @NFL has a combine tracker (https://t.co/QIFwI3PGda) with data back to 2003.

Below is a list of the most athletic #Vols since ‘03 with this year’s Dont’e Thornton coming in at #3 overall!

Thornton also ran the fastest 40 in @Vol_Football history per this site 🤯

[vfl_data @vfl_data]

Tried scouring play-by-play records to see if Mashack’s GW was the best buzzer-beater to win a game in @Vol_Hoops history

UTsports has box scores back to 1999 so I could be missing one BUT shoutout to Jon Higgins and this epic finish! (skip to 1:16:20)

Interesting box charts of the eFG% of Rick Barnes @Vol_Hoops teams.

Believe it or not, one could argue this year’s #Vols team is the 2nd best shooting team of the Barnes era.

Side note: it is wild just how consistently good that 2018-19 team was

[vfl_data @vfl_data]

@cardvolfan @Vol_Hoops Good catch - the 76.9% was his eFG% 🤦🏻 One of these days, Imma proofread my posts lol

[vfl_data @vfl_data]

Since returning to the lineup after a 1 game absence, Zakai Zeigler & Igor Milicic have been on an absolute heater!

Zeigler shooting 76.9% from 3 & Milicic with an eFG% of 81% probably isn’t sustainable but they’ve definitely kicked it up a notch the past 4 games

@Vol_Hoops

[vfl_data @vfl_data]

The #Vols had a statement win Saturday with it’s largest win over a top-5 opponent in @Vol_Hoops history

Here’s a look at their 10 largest wins over a top-5 opponent. What’s crazy is 5 of the 10 are during the Barnes era 🤯

#GoVols #GBO #INAM

[vfl_data @vfl_data]

Alone at the top!

Last night Zakai Zeigler set the career all-time steals record for @Vol_Hoops

Enjoy these last few months with Zeigler, he is a true #VFL

#GoVols #GBO

[vfl_data @vfl_data]

Zakai Zeigler is on pace to have the most assists in a season in @Vol_Hoops history 🤯

Assuming he has ~18 games left, he’ll need to average ~6 ast/g to take the top spot

#GoVols #GBO

[vfl_data @vfl_data]

Igor Milicic is a beast on the boards!

Milicic enters tonight’s game coming off the best rebounding performance from a @Vol_Hoops player in the Rick Barnes era

#GoVols #GBO

[vfl_data @vfl_data]

Is Chaz Lanier the best 3-pt shooter in @Vol_Hoops history?

In short, if he keeps up this pace… yes

At the rate he’s going he could have the most 3PM in a season and the 2nd highest 3P% in a season in #Vols history surpassing greats like Allan Houston & Chris Lofton

[vfl_data @vfl_data]

Here is my best attempt at keeping up with the @Vol_Football transfer portal movement & rankings

Things to remember:

1. This is a business & everyone has to do what’s best for them

2. The portal giveth & taketh away

3. Heupel >> Pruitt, Jones, Dooley

#GoVols #GBO

[vfl_data @vfl_data]

The @Vol_Hoops team is now the 7th #Vols hoops team EVER to start a season 9-0 🤯 & the first team in 23 years to do so

Saturday, they’ll shoot for the 5th team ever to start 10-0

These Vols are legit

#GoVols #GBO

[vfl_data @vfl_data]

A simple graphic that needs no explanation and shows how great it is to be a Tennessee Vol

Enjoy this ride Vols fans! Don’t take this success for granted

#GBO #GoVols

[vfl_data @vfl_data]

Here’s a chart of how the @Vol_Football 2025 commits have ranked over time per 247Comp

Dye, Campbell, & Brame were the #Vols biggest risers over the recruiting cycle. No idea if that will lead to success but we’ll check back in in 2-3 years 😬

Excited for all the newcomers 🙌🏽
