What will Tennessee Basketball look like next year?

[kl40504]

The Admiral is a senior, Grant Williams will declare for the NBA draft and now Jordan Bone has also declared for the draft. Rough times in Knoxville. Sorry Della.

Tennessee star guard Jordan Bone is declaring for the NBA Draft, he tells @247Sports. Bone’s intention is to stay in the NBA Draft, barring a change in plans | Story: https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/Tennessee-star-guard-Jordan-Bone-declares-for-NBA-Draft-130836008/…

The OP was so eager to make this thread that he couldn’t even wait for Grant Williams to declare.

My answer. I don’t know. Probably not very good. Though I think their recruiting is getting better so they’ll probably be back to annoying you before too long.

No Bone Admiral Grant or Alexander. Gonna be rough Id imagine

 

[SpartanJD]

This was the Vols year and they don’t have a whole lot to show for it

 

[bignish]

At least they won the SEC...oh wait sorry never mind.

 

[ExitFlagger]

Don't worry....I've been told that Barnes is getting better talent at Tennessee than he had at Texas. I'm sure he's loaded for next year.

 

[RollTide7277]

Barnes is not a great recruiter, and the SEC just got stronger today. Not sure who Vandy is looking at, but if Arkansas can pull off Beard, it's only going to be more difficult.

Does Tennessee wish they still had Bruce Pearl...
Much rather have Pearl

Beard? Arkansas? Wait til the Tech homers see this.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Depends on how they play against UK.

Although. Go 0-3 against UK and make a FF will be successful.

constantly moving goal post depending on season, time, fan base of responding too, etc.

 

[Free_Salato_Blue]

They already practicing their defensive schemes for next season.

 

[HRTheCard]

Josiah James is no joke.

Grant Williams is definitely the brown one. He's teaching the young incomers.

How so?

We won more games this season than any previous season, we beat a #1, we were ranked #1 (only the second time ever) and made the sweet 16.

Does Texas pine for Barnes?

/I'm glad UT is doing well. Also, You did beat UK 2 out of 3 times.

So. Made the sweet 16. Wow. Only 15 other teams accomplished that feat.

Texas did win the NIT.

You failed to account for most wins in history, #1 ranking, 4 weeks ranked #1 and COY. Compare that to UK who pays their coach 9 mil.

 

[della]

Texas did win the NIT.

Where did that come from?

We love our coach. He is worth 15 million at least.

 

[kl40504]

Texas did end the season with a win.

Isn't Texas still in the NIT?

 

[kl40504]

Texas won the NIT last night.

Texas did win the NIT.

Well then, Congrats to Texas for their best of loser's title.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

They did play longer than UT.

I know how you like angles.

Maybe, they should join the Austin Tx High school basketball assoc. I could see some success in their future there too. If that is what it is about.

150 mil per title? Well, hey, it's your dough.

 

[FaithPlusOne]

150 mil per title? Well, hey, it's your dough.

That’d be $75 million from the last final 4 to the next (assuming they get there next year) instead of the actual amount which is $45 million (give or take).
