Gas. He's out of it.If he can't get Stokes to commit is Prohm losing his touch?

He said recently in an interview he probably won't commit until after the fall signing period
I think we have to take him at his word, however kids can and do change their mind frequently. Hopefully he loves it here and pulls the trigger early.
I'd love to get a talented big man that can play down low. It would make those damn West Virginia games more fun if we could keep them off the offensive glass. Big weekend ahead. Getting him to campus is huge for us. I don't think it's ever been anything but positive.
Side note: Am I the only one not impressed by shattered backboards at all? I've seen thousands of dunks over the years and the ones that shatter backboards all look the same to me. Guy dunks, backboard shatters, guy lands awkwardly on his back while backboard pieces rain down on him. I'm always amazed more guys don't get hurt badly when that happens.

He's said that he wants to take all 5 of his officials. His last isn't until December.

I had a high school teammate shatter two our senior year and he was a 6'3" guard. One in practice and one at our conference rival during the game to determine conference champion. They literally brought in a beat up steel backboard from the outside playground and we ended up losing the game because it was second half and we had to shoot at that the rest of the game.
I saw that when it actually happened (on TV, not in person) and yes, it was cool. Not since.

Lost Nation, IA vs Bennett, IA in 1983 (at Bennett). I don't remember what happened in practice but in the game he stole and went to dunk and was fouled from behind. Never got the ball high enough, pushed on the rim from the bottom side and backboard shattered. Delayed game an hour or so while they cleaned up players and brought in the old backboard.
Tennessee doesn't seem to have any stud recruits committed. Hopefully Stokes likes the idea of playing four years with studs like Wigginton and Lewis.
Darryl Dawkins breaking a backboard is the first time I recall it happening. Check this out:
There were probably not many, if any, high schools that had breakaway rims in 1983.
I will say that watching Shaq rip the intact backboard to the ground and break the entire hoop assembly was awesome. You don't usually see that.
"In Jersey, Derrick Coleman dunked on me...so I said to myself, the next time we play Jersey, I'm going to rip the damn backboard off." - Shaq
