Mcrae is not redshirting. He is the real deal. He will need to bulk up to be great, but he can play at his current weight.

This looks about right with Pearl getting some minutes at the 3 and Mcbee getting some minutes at the 1/2. Honestly, there is no way in hell Pearl should see the court, but you know he will.

As per ESPN College Basketball Rumors:

Senior big man John Fields, who holds shot-blocking records at UNC-Wilmington, has graduated and is eligible to transfer. All he has to do is choose to pursue a graduate degree in a department not offered at Wilmington. As of today, it looks like Tennessee's school of Sports Management is gaining a very high-profile new student.

Fields is leaving UNCW in the wake of coach Benny Moss' mid-season firing, which was followed by a lengthy and sometimes baffling hiring process that brought in Buzz Peterson. The forward was clearly not happy with how his time at the CAA school ended. "I just wanted to spend my last year winning, so that's why I decided to get out [of UNCW]," Fields told ZagsBlog.

Fields also looked at Xavier, Miami and Rutgers, but eventually settled on the Vols. The other schools had obvious room for Fields; Tennessee is a little more difficult to understand. With Tobias Harris on board, the addition of Fields might suggest that Brian Williams -- who had a good NCAA tournament -- might now see less time in his senior year. Or, Bruce Pearl may use Williams and Fields in a platoon situation.

However the rotation pans out, Pearl has added the kind of depth that any Final Four hopeful must have. Fields is a great get.

1. Lay off of Pearl Jr. The guy is a player. He is not a threat on offense, but he does a great job of frustrating the other teams players. He hustles. There are times when I think he plays a bit too much, but he deserves 6-8 minutes per just to be a pest.
