People who've watched this team play have come away believers. Last week, I heard a few Dukies say that despite the ranking (they hadn't lost at that point) we were the best team. I think there's a disconnect between those who've just looked at the records and those who've seen us in action. And seeing is believing when it comes to this team.

I just pray we keep playing this way and up our game even more come tourney time. There's nothing about this team that I don't like.

Bama next. Always a tough game, we need to have a big lead so we can sub our honkies in early.

We'll need our front 10 to be rested and healthy for the back half of conference play.

I love that we have a front 10, btw, instead of our typical front 6.

TBA will be rocking, sold out and students will be standing room only (it was for the Georgia game and a ton of kids were still on break)

Shew wee boys this is possibly the best VOLS team we ever see and real good chance it’s the most haterproof.

I am going to enjoy this SZN.

MSM member Aaron Torres of Fox Sports loves him some basketVOLS

quote:

Aaron Torres @Aaron_Torres
How good is Tennessee: They just put up 55 points in the first half, and got zero points from Admiral Schoefield. ZERO! That's the scariest thing about this team to me: It isn't just Schoefield and Grant Williams. They have SO many guys who can beat you on any given night


quote:

Aaron Torres @Aaron_Torres
A season ago, Tennessee was picked to finish 13th in the SEC. This year, they're ranked in the Top 5, casually dropping 106 points against good teams and beating SEC opponents by 20. It's honestly UNBELIEVABLE how far this program has come in like 18 months


quote:

Aaron Torres @Aaron_Torres
By the way Tennessee fans, hope you appreciate what you guys have this season. A group of talented, experienced vets that don't care about stats, put the team first, do all the little things right and just win. This is seriously like once in a lifetime stuff. Enjoy this

Mr. Torres isn't wrong. This is the kind of team that you just don't get a chance to see very often. That said, I don't think there's a Vol fan out there that's taking this for granted. This is happening during what has been a long torturous period for both football and basketball (prior to last season). We are absolutely starved for success and this team has become our beacon of hope that better days are on the horizon.

Hell, I might start shitting basketballs soon if we keep blasting teams by 20+ each game. We definitely aren't taking this season for granted. Did not think it was possible for Tennessee to field a men's fricking basketball team this elite.

Also, at this point is it even possible for Tennessee fans to take anything in any sport for granted after living through the slow dismantling of the Tennessee football program.

No, we would embrace this team regardless but with our recent history, it makes it all that much better.

Has anybody heard about 2020 5* C Walker Kessler possibly reclassifying to the 2019 class and heavily considering VOLS? #15 player on 247 composite & #22 ESPN. Same class as Josiah James.

Somebody from VQ posted this tonight:

quote:

@Brent Hubbs, Walker Kessler has relatives in Knoxville who he is very close to. They want him to choose the Vols. He and his dad have been visiting his relatives in town and following Coach Barnes’ teams for several years. If you would send me a private message or call I will pass the info along. His uncle is an attorney in Knoxville and his cousin is a student at UT. Kessler is very serious about Tennessee and I’m told they are his first choice.

His tape is crazy good. What a specimen. My god. Him and James together in the same class would make us down right unbearable.
