Check out these tweets from multiple players, both past and present. These awards could prove to have just added more fuel to Tennessees already blazing fire...

“@wesrucker247: Bunch of Tennessee players are pretty ticked that Jeronne Maymon was named just second-team All-SEC and Trae Golden wasn't honored at all.”

“@wesrucker247: One Tennessee player: "We're the No. 2 seed, aren't we? That's a big sign of disrespect, if you ask me."”

“@wesrucker247: Vols freshman Jarnell Stokes: "I'm kinda shocked that people are surprised we're the No. 2 seed. We played the games. We earned it."”

“@wesrucker247: Cuonzo's argument for Maymon being first-team All-SEC was simple: He scored at least 12 points in every SEC game. Few were that consistent.”

“@tobias31: Jerrone Maymon should have been 1st team All-SEC, Trae Golden should be Most Improved Player and on a All SEC team, more fuel for the fire”

“@tobias31: Vols aren't 2nd in the SEC for no reason #VolSoHard”

“@wesrucker247: Other Maymon All-SEC argument: 8 guys on first team, Maymon was 10th in scoring/5th in rebounding in league games.”


This isn't a motivation tweet but wanted to include:

“@JarnellStokes: Gotta give credit to my teammates. Roughest transition of my life & wouldn't have made All-Freshman team without them. Blessings...”

TN is gonna win the SEC tournament.I think we will play very physical and want back down from anybody. This Team plays with a lot of heart.

I love that Tobias said something. Wish he stayed.

I agree.

To me it's enough that he's still involved. That's what this basketball program needed for a long time - the pride and passion of it's alumni. Kudos to Pearl and Martin for embracing our former players.

Thanks for the motivation voters. Go Vols!

Do glad to see Tobias being a VFL.

THis plays right into our hands. I think this just adds extra incentive for this team to prove people wrong again. Golden definitely deserved at least 2nd team. Most teams that finish 2nd place in their conference have more than 1 player named among the top 17 players in their conference.

Nuh uh, he was a one and done :crazy:

What is the required number of years to play before you"re considered part of a team and school? I GUESS JUCO transfers aren't considered VFL's either, because they didn't start off their careers here.

VFL...like many things...is a mindset. Not time in service.

I hope they take this stuff, and play lights out defense like never before. In the words of Remember the Titans: Leave No Doubt!
