tatum's "knoxville is boring" comment wont benefit him when the coaches decide how long to bench him. caught with guns, dissing te university= not a good situation.

I went back thru Tatum's tweets - looked like he was misquoted - he said something like "in knoxville...bored" tatum is a nice kid - too many pple trying to villify imo

I want Cam and Melvin back.

I cannot be happy to have a giant project back who is not as talented as Kenny Hall and who Bruce felt he owed the opportunity to miss layups and give hard fouls because of his hard work. He had MJ in a bag with HIS NAME ON IT and claimed it was not his. The idiocy makes my stomach hurt. He must be from the Shaggy school of criminal defendants

The way the guys are playing now is one of the clearest examples of "addition by subtraction" that I have ever seen. The offense is flowing again. With Tyler out there, the offense was like a blocked artery. People standing around waiting for him to do something while he did his little rocker step move that nobody was buying anymore and refused to take ANY outside shots whatsoever. Tyler is a talent and I wish him all the best and feel bad for him, but the difference is night and day.

And I find the constant references to Tennessee being ground down by the schedule or whatever due to only having 6 scholly players to be a little bit of a reach, too. Check the minutes -- KU milked their starters just as much as we did, even more -- Collins was on the floor for 38 minutes! So where's all the concern about the Jayhawks wearing down? Playing 30 minutes of basketball, however intense, is absolutely nothing on a 20 year old body. If you check the box scores, MOST top 25 teams play their starters 30 plus. Why are the Vols supposedly so physically fragile compared to other teams? Sure, we might be hurting skills wise on our depleted bench, but walk-ons can be every bit as energetic as scholly players.

We'll need Tatum and Goins for game depth, practice and injury protection. Agree with Clockwork's statements on Smith. Perhaps Smith was just misused in the offense. He seemed to work better when he was cutting and getting passes than when we relied on him to make something happen with the ball in his hands. His weakness is his lack of outside range which he desperately needs due to his lack of size. If that was going to be the way the offense worked with him in it then I think we're better without him. I think we can get along just fine without Williams.

Why can't Stephen Pearl shoot free throws? If you're basically a practice body and won't ever get many shot attempts, for the love of God be ready to nail your free throws when given the rare opportunity. Since everyone knows he's never going to jack a 3 or any other shot outside of 10 feet, his sole shooting practice focus should be on free throws. It's also ridiculous that Prince is so lame at the line as well. With all of his slashing drives he's going to see a lot of free throw attempts...learn to hit 70% of them!!!
