I've seen some bad UT teams over the years. This isn't nearly as bad as some that I've seen. With that said, Ole Miss shot more free throws than any opponent in the history of TBA. That should tell you something.

Now give me the percentages (that % sign thingy) of how often that happens on the road vs. at home.

Not arguing the style of play didn't contribute, but the officials clearly missed a goaltend and called a horrible charge on Golden on a flop to name two bad calls off the top of my head. Anthony Jordan is one of the worst, if not the worst, officials in the game.

Tony Greene says hi.

I don't know why I get involved in these arguments, but I would guess that Pastner did know Adonis and Joe Jackson before becoming coach. Both were recruited by their sophomore years. However, Cal didn't like taking Memphis kids and Pastner changed all of that.

Every player on vols team has big flaws!

Jarnell Stokes 5* Little Slow, can't jump, inconsistent offense

Trae Golden 4* Too short to be a shooting guard, too slow to be a point guard

Jordan McRae 4* inconsistent poor defense

Kenny Hall 4* inconsistent lacks athletic ability

Josh Richardson 3* inconsistent offensive game

Yemi Makanjoula 2*/3* not a division one player not athletic enough

Derek Reese 2*/3* yet to be determined

Armani Moore 2*/3* not a division one player yet

Quinton Chievous 2*/3* Division two or three Athletic ability

D'montre Edwards 2*/3* Division two talent

Dwight Miller 2*/3* Division two talent

Skylar Mcbee 2* Too Slow and Can't make 3's in game consistently.

Brandon Lopez NR has walk on talent


WE do not have any guards that are quick enough to guard. We only have 3 players that are 6-4 or shorter. We are guard poor and have too many small forwards.

You nailed it with your last few sentences there. We have NOBODY on the team you can call "quick". There is no Joe Jackson, Devin Downey, or JaJuan Smith.

To call us guard poor is an understatement. Outside of Lopez, we don't have a PG on the team. That still hasn't been remedied, and until it is, we will be continue to be average.

We don't even need an elite player at the PG position. We just need a natural leader who is a PG by trade, light on his feet, and a good decision-maker. There are dozens of kids like this every year who wind up at the Butler's, Gonzaga's, and Murray St.'s of the mid-major world. 3* kids who play sound defense and make smart decisions.

We had one of those in Aaron Craft, but don't get me started there...

And Chris Jones....what a difference maker he'd be.

We had a cheap version of a Chris Jones in fabyon available to us last off season, most frustrating thing ever passing on him.
