, we should be eligible from everything I've read and heard. They'll likely take away a scholarship or two, and maybe something else; but post season play shouldn't be affected.

The problem will be if the new coach can avoid the mass exodus of Bruce's players, and field a competent team next year. We should be eligible for post season play, but will we be able to even come close to sniffing it is the real question.

Is Scotty Hopson really returning to Tennessee?

This goes against everything I have read over the past few months, do you guys think the new coach is going to convince him to stay?

He and Tobias will probably "test the waters". He definitely had somewhat of a breakout year, but still disappeared way to often in games. Tobias will likely go, although his dad says they would like to meet with the new coach. Personally I think he should stay and b/c I didn't think Pearl used him right, but he's a 1st rounder/late lottery pick in a very weak draft. Only thing thing that could scare him back to UT is the potential lockout situation. This is also the reason Scottie will be back, even with the weak draft.
