| The Tennessee Volunteers land two Blue Chip Recruits for 2008 |

{mosimage}Tennessee is in the midst of a great season in men's basketball. The 11th ranked Volunteers have dropped only one of its first 12 games this year, the lonte loss coming at the hands of 15th
ranked Texas. Better yet is the fact that this rather young team, which
will face most of its toughest matches during the second half of the
season, is set to lose only three seniors this season. Despite such a
full house of talent, the recruiting class of 2008 will still bring
Tennessee much needed help in two critical areas, namely, replacing the
scoring of its graduating backcourt and rebounding. This help is set to
come in the form of two highly recruited and talented players, Renaldo
Woolridge and Philip Jurick.
Renaldo WoolridgeWoolridge is a prized prospect with an NBA bloodline, his father Orlando Woolridge having played in the NBA for 13 years, after being drafted in the first round out of Notre Dame. Blossoming on the court of late, after growing 7 inches since he started high school, Woolridge has gone from a 6-1 guard to an athletic 6-8 one, who is capable of shooting over those opponents who are fast enough to guard him. Though when it comes to driving to the basket Woolridge is no slouch, and can slam-dunk with the best of his 2008 prep class. Playing for Harvard-Westlake High School in California, Renaldo average 19.2 points per game last year and grabbed 7.9 rebounds a contest. At the Moorpark's Tip Off Classic this year, Woolridge had a 28 point performance against Oak Park that was punctuated with 4 three pointers. Heavily recruited by top schools such as neighboring USC, Renaldo settled on Tennessee, where he will no doubt fit into the program.Phillip JurickJurick is a big-bodied recruit out of nearby East Ridge High School in Chattanooga. This 6-11, 255-pound kid has the size and post play required out of a center at the college level. Though he comes equipped with great skills for a big man, Jurick still needs to develop a little bit of toughness if he is going to hold his own in NCAA play. Yet this is not to say that this hefty recruit is not ready to help Tennessee out in a big way. Last year Jurick average 14 points, 16 rebounds and 9 blocks per game, which were the kind of stats that had perennial basketball powers Florida, Kentucky, and Indiana all vying for his service. Lucky for Tennessee fans that this prized recruit chose to stay in state.
