2021 Paolo Banchero

What is it about Tennessee? Other than being in the SEC, what do they have that separates them from others?

Tennessee is on the rise, Rick Barnes is a great coach.

Not saying that separates them, but should put them in the conversation.

As an O'Dea Alum, my contacts from the school believe Tennessee is the strongest contender to GU.

I would agree. I think Kentucky has a shot as well.

This one seems pretty simple. There is a top 2021 pg from Tennessee (I believe) that is considering Tennessee. Paolo and said pg have mentioned playing together. If the pg goes to a tennesse, then they have a chance with Paolo, otherwise their chances are nominal. We do hear about the “package” type deal often and usually they do not come to fruition. Kentucky is the bigger concern here as of now.

Thanks for the info. The devil is in the details.

That makes perfect sense about the package deal, thanks. So fingers crossed that pg picks a school Paolo isn't considering!

Metro League tournament game. O'Dea defeated West Seattle 77-55. Paolo Banchero did not disappoint
scoring 33 points in the victory.

Few and Mich were there and on one of the dunks Paolo had Few's reaction was priceless, as you could see him saw WOW. Paolo went off in front of them as he had a double double and showed why he a top 5 recruit in 2021. The kid could step on the court and play for this team, he is a flat out stud. Last night was impressive.

The ball handling and passingh is so smooth and impressive for a guy that big.

I know this will come across as an old man shouting "back in my day..." but were 17yr old kids ever this big and mature 20 or 30 or 40 years ago? I don't mean this tall, I mean this much grown into their built and super strong frame and with coordination levels above those of a floppy footed puppy? Paolo looks like mature adult.

I think the answer is pretty clearly "no". The amount of focus that we have on nutrition and age-appropriate weight-training and conditioning has made a huge difference in the kind of bodies some of these young men come into college with.

Thanks Terp.
