Swanigan ranked 19th, Dickerson 81st. I know some players can surprise, but I think at this point it's a stretch to say that.
I wonder if Tennessee would of had similar classes/recruiting if Cuonzo Martin had the support he needed to be successful there.
I don't know if Tennessee knows how to support their basketball program. So that is a difficult hypothetical question to start with.I wonder if Tennessee would of had similar classes/recruiting if Cuonzo Martin had the support he needed to be successful there.

That being said, this class may just be the result of a number of favorable coincidences. Ivan Rabb wanted to stay close to home in Oakland and wants to try and broker a package-deal. He befriends Jalen Brown who's inner-circle includes Shareef Abdur-Rahim as an adviser. I don't think Cuonzo Martin gets this recruiting class, or anything comparable in Knoxville.
Martin wasn't really there long enough to give a good indication, but the only player that came there that was of any actual substance was Robert Hubbs, and he was from TN and was a flop. His last recruiting class was all 3 stars. I had forgotten that he went to Cal and I was wondering where this sudden spurt was coming from. Then I saw that he was their head coach and I was even more surprised. The guy has the personality of a rock, and I personally think he's a pretty average coach at best. His teams at Tennessee struggled offensively because he focused so much on the defense. That might not be an issue with better talent, but it will be interesting to see if he can even get these 1 and done type players to buy into his all defense system. I highly doubt that he can.
I was thinking the same thing.Seems strange they didn't Crean someone for Swanigan but would for Dickerson.IF Cal and Martin didn't have a scholarship available for Swanigan, how can he sign Dickerson?
