They also have a point guard committed and two inside players. The inside players are four-star prospects Philip Jurick, a 6-10, 250-pound center from Chattanooga, Tennessee and Renaldo Woolridge, a 6-8, 205-pound small forward from North Hollywood, California. The point guard is three-star Daniel West of Detroit. They also have a standout committed for 2009—6-8 Kenny Hall of Atlanta, who is a four-star prospect.
Though J.P. Prince started at point guard the last two games, he said he will be content to go back to his natural position -- wing.
"Ramar Smith is my point guard,'' said Prince. "He will be the leader of this team next year.''
Hopson is a 6-5 wing who is rated a five-star. He is also being recruited by Louisville, Kentucky, Mississippi State Cincinnati and Texas.
Tennessee will also have the services of 6-5 wing player Cameron Tatum, who redshirted this year but is a scorer and good outside shooter.
Will Pearl be back?
"It's great to be a Tennessee Vol,'' said Pearl. "I anticipate, if Tennessee will have me, being back at Tennessee. I think they'll have me.''
Pearl's name has been mentioned with Indiana. Athletic director, Mike Hamilton plans to sit down with Pearl to work out a raise and contract extension to make sure that doesn't happen.
