0:00.0	Welcome in to the GoValls 24-7 podcast, along with Ben McKee. I am Ryan Callahan.
0:05.5	Here to discuss the latest edition for the Tennessee men's basketball program, a big pickup here for the Vols who have landed Ralph Scott, a small forward from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
0:16.4	Ben, going to break it all down and give us an idea of what Tennessee can expect here.
0:21.1	This is the top 50 prospect nationally, Ben.
0:23.2	What can you tell us about the newest edition, the first edition to Tennessee's 2026 men's
0:28.0	basketball recruiting class?
0:29.7	Yeah, borderline five star is what Tennessee is getting because Ralph Scott is ranked so highly
0:35.4	by us at 24-7 and across the board with the other recruiting services as well.
0:41.1	But we have him as the number 35 overall player in the country, the number 16 small forward, and the number 8 player from Florida, although he is originally from Bermuda and has had quite the interesting
0:57.2	recruiting story, but one that we have come to expect under Rick Barnes, because this is another

1:27.8	Those guys were kind of late fines on the recruiting trail.
1:31.3	And Ralph Scott wasn't a late fine strictly to Tennessee, but a late riser on the recruiting
1:38.2	services, or not the recruiting services, but the travel ball circuit in general was kind of playing with IMG here and there, traveled
1:48.3	and transferred to one school to the next, and finally stuck at IMG and was playing for one of
1:55.5	their better teams and got discovered over the summer or teams started to become more aware of him and started to receive
2:02.9	more offers. And he has skyrocketed through the rankings as a result of that. So this is a big
2:09.4	pickup. Tennessee's first commitment in the class of 2026. And it's a big one because he's
2:14.5	essentially as the number 35 overall player in the country,
