A little surprised to see Scottie Lewis over JJJ or Vescovi on the all-Freshmen team.

Vescovi, maybe, but he was only here half the season. Completely understand why JJJ didn’t make it, he didn’t deserve it. #22 freshman in the country my ass.

Well deserved Fulky! Tennessee’s best player by far this year.

Check his stats vs Scottie Lewis instead of just complaining about JJJ. You missed the point in your rush to jump his case.

Scottie Lewis: 8.5 pts, 3.6 rebs, 0.8 assts
Josiah James: 7.4 pts, 5.5 rebs, 2.9 assts

Both were modest scorers, but JJJ has more well-rounded stats. Either guy would have probably been the last pick on the all-Freshman team, and a case can made for Vescovi over either one.

Scottie Lewis was ranked the #7 overall recruit in that same class, btw.

I'm sure JJJ missing 4 games in SEC play didn't help his cause.

Yeah, probably so, especially since he would have been a fringe inclusion on the team, anyway.

Well deserved award.Fulky played his butt off all year.

JJJ didn't look good early but has given Vols fans a lot to be excited about lately. If you can't see that I don't know what to tell you.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Why doesn't the all-defense team have 9 players like the first team?

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure these awards are based solely off of the SEC season. What you did before doesn’t matter. In my opinion, Vescovi should be in over Pippen Jr and Scotty Lewis. Without Vescovi, this UT team wins maybe 5 conference games. Maybe.

Don't bring reasonability into this discussion, Chris.

Four games missed out of 31 should not have been a factor.

Does anybody know who all will be projected to NOT return next year out of these 16 all SEC. I know Blackshear will be gone.

 

[Kinger]

I think Vescovi got screwed. He played in every SEC game and had a better year than some that made it.

both lewis and JJJ are busts

Glad you pointed this out. JJJ performed on par with his rank much more so than Scottie Lewis did.

Honest question: do you even look up stats before you formulate opinions?

I have made elaborate posts regarding the stats of 5 star players, and JJJ is pretty much on par with his ranking. Maybe you should check your expectations against reality before you rag on players.

Based on your opinion's of JJJ, you should probably check your expectations for next year's freshmen before you get disappointed again.

Both kids were in bad situations. Scottie had to deal with whatever internal issues UF had. JJJ thought he was going to be the third or fourth best player on a team with 3-4 veteran leaders. At the start of the season JJJ was hurt, there was one veteran leader who was only half himself, and there was only one other player (Pons) that had elite level skillset potential.

I can see Lewis. I can’t see Pippen. I would have swapped those two out

I think they should limit it to 5 players. 2 guards, 2 fowards and then one of either

Setting bias aside I think Fulkerson was a first teamer IMO

He will be in 2020-2021

I would have taken him over the Florida forward
