<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>PICTURED: [player_tooltip player_id='2816168' first='Xavier' last='Farrell'], Coach, [player_tooltip player_id='2817312' first='Khani' last='Johnson'], Keegan Taylor (L-R)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tullahoma's Wildcats lost in the 3A State Championship Game to Upperman, finishing off a tremendous season 32-5. Wednesday three of their starters will sign their names to finalize their commitments to college basketball programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:quote --> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tomorrow is a great day!! 11:20am Keegan Taylor signs with Bryan and then at 12:00 [player_tooltip player_id='2816168' first='Xavier' last='Farrell'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2817312' first='Khani' last='Johnson'] sign with Motlow!! Let's GO. All welcome at THS gym. A GREAT Year just keeps getting better - Tullahoma Basketball</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --></blockquote> <!-- /wp:quote --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2816168' first='Xavier' last='Farrell'] </strong>(23.4 ppg) earned multiple spotlights from PrepHoopsTN during that 3A State Tournament. He emerged as a new name to PrepHoops. The hard-charging guard played with wonderful tenacity and hunger. His build is strong and uncommonly hulking for a 3A lead guard. His success left no room for doubt and Tullahoma knocked off eight postseason teams in a row with his leadership: Lawrence Ounty, Giles County, DeKalb County, Stone Memorial, Upperman, Lenoir City, Jackson South Side, Fayette Ware.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Read those names back. Tullahoma eliminated the following superstars: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1211987' first='Cade' last='Capps']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1927473' first='Tarecous' last='Stevens']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1321569' first='Tacarien' last='Freeman']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1347852' first='Chris' last='Mitchell'].</strong> Farrell and Company ended some remarkable high school careers on their wonderful postseason run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2816168' first='Xavier' last='Farrell']</strong> selected Motlow State over Pellissippi State and Cleveland State Community College. Xavier ran track for Tullahoma too. At 205-pounds he dashed around the Murphy Center floor creating problems for many guards. He will walk onto campus ready to play. Motlow recruits well and Xavier fits the profile of a guy capable of thriving quickly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2817312' first='Khani' last='Johnson'] </strong>broke out with PrepHoops.com the same week as Farrell. Khani is a very different player. While Xavier plays fast and disrupts dribblers, Khani moves with an elegance, a swagger. He reminds of a shorter Rip Hamilton. Wonderful in the mid-range. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2817312' first='Khani' last='Johnson'] </strong>will sign to Motlow State, as well. Johnson projects as a combo guard, probably a secondary playmaker as a freshman. Khani also exceled at football for THS, where he primarily operated as a returner/receiver. Johson stands 6-foot-0.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As a football player, [player_tooltip player_id='2817312' first='Khani' last='Johnson'] was named Region 5-5A Player of the Year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Keegan Taylor </strong>committed to Bryan College and he will sign Wednesday morning at 11:20 AM, just before the Motlow pair. Taylor can play either guard position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fifteen days after Blackburn College offered him,<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1378680' first='EJ' last='Jordan']</strong> (Franklin Road Academy) committed. Jordan was holding offers from both Blackburn College and Columbia State Community College. Jordan starred for years with FRA, as their lead guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>For the latest and greatest recruiting news in Tennessee, follow <a href="https://x.com/PrepHoopsTN">@PrepHoopsTN</a>.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
