Continue ReadingWith the LIVE period on the horizon, many Division I programs are extending offers, hosting visitors, and broadly expressing an elevated level of interest in their preferred targets.
Chattanooga is consistently communicating with Evan Eursher Evan Eursher 6'2" | PG Webb-Bell Buckle | 2022 State #244 Nation TN , the star EAB lead guard. Eursher also maintains interest from Arkansas State, UT Martin, and Campbell. UT Martin is working to rebuild their program with a brand new staff. New head coach Ryan Ridder took over the last day of March. Remember the Skyhawks signed Grant Hurst Grant Hurst 6'1" | CG Cleveland | 2021 State TN late in the 2021 cycle.
Webb boasts a brand new coach in Micah Williams. He joined the program from Coffee County High.
Coach Williams played high school basketball at Coffee County, where he holds the title of the all-time leading scorer in school history. After high school, he attended East Tennessee State University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in sports management with a minor in marketing. While he was at ETSU, he joined the 1,000-point club, was part of two conference championship teams, and was named to the A-Sun All Conference Team and Conference Tournament MVP. He went on to play professional basketball in Japan and England.
Stephen Olowoniyi shares a handful of the same interested schools: Chattanooga, Arkansas State, UT Martin. He is on the radar of the Arkansas-Little Rock program too

This weekend Jakobi is traveling up to Chicago for an exciting unofficial visit. Jakobi is hoping to leave the City of Big Shoulders with a D1 offer. Radford offered Jakobi last week. Jacksonville and UNC-Asheville offered days later.

Grant Slatten Grant Slatten 6'5" | SG White County | 2021 State TN signed as part of the 2021 class and Malik Dia Malik Dia 6'9" | PF Ensworth | 2022 State #210 Nation TN is perhaps the next Tennessee talent for them.
