Wow. A phenomenal pick-up for Coach Pearl.

If Tyler Smith stays, we can look forward to a very special year on the hardwood in 2009. The Vols will once again be the favorite to win the conference, and you have to think they'll have all the pieces necessary to make a legitimate run toward a national championship.

Pearl was interviewed on Sports Animal today and he said with the 3 point line moving back, that TN will be running more of a zone defense and forcing teams to hit the three and using our athleticism to take away drives to the basket and ruling the boards. Sounds to me that Brian Williams and Jurick will be the big men in the center.

I received a text message from a reliable Rivals.com source that Shooting guard Scotty Hopson Hopkinsville (KY) University Heights has verbally committed to Bruce Pearl during his visit to Knoxville. Hopson comments were: “I can help take this program to the next level” and ” Tennessee is much more of a morally stable situation than other programs, I just felt at home here”. Hopson’s mother is reportedly impressed with Pearl.
This verbal was contigent on Tyler Smith staying in Knoxville one more year. Pearl has Smith leaning 75% (my source’s best guess) in staying.

This is one of the greatest pictures of all time.

Tyler leaving now doesn't really help in terms of opening up a scholarship. Because, if he doesn't leave this year, he'll leave next year, and we'll still have his scholarship for the '09 class.

Well I think I figured out why Pearl took 4 players this year. At the bottom of the Hopson article up on go vols extra it said "senior forward Ryan Childress is mulling his future after seeing his playing time reduced as a result of a foot injury he suffered earlier this season". Is he going to transfer? Is Pearl pushing him to do so?

I read the same thing. I like Chilly but it would be best if he did transfer. Chilly, go play for Belmont. They have a nice program and you could be a big dog.

I don't think Childress would transfer. He has one year of eligibility left. If anything... he'll just leave the team to pursue a career in coaching or something else.

Speaking of a career in coaching, does anyone think Dane Bradshaw will join Pearl's staff any time in the near future?
