Tennessee Coach Bruce Pearl knows an athlete when he sees one. It is safe to say, before the arrival of Coach Calipari down in Kentucky, the Vols were home to one the most athletically gifted teams in the SEC. That being said Coach Pearl is now adding to that tradition, with the signing of Jordan McRae.
The super athletic shooting guard out of Liberty County Georgia stands at 6'6 and 185 lbs. And what he may lack in size and bulk McRae makes up in smarts on the court. The first thing that stands out while watching this kid is his athleticism and his abilities on the defensive side of the ball. He possess great leaping ability, that combined with a wing-span of a 7-footer makes for a nightmare as an opposing offensive player. McRae, also for his size has great body control that allows him to make moves in traffic that are usually left to individuals under 6'0. His slashing ability matched with his ability to make the outside shot will fit perfectly into the explosive Tennessee offense.
Regardless of talent in the SEC Jordan McRae is going to be an instant impact player and will definitely will be a sore spot for Georgia coaches that let him get out of the state.....
