Hatvol has just posted his preseason basketball top 10 for the 2008-2009 season:

If you that didn’t get to see the Jordan Brand Classic a couple of weeks ago, here are some of the highlights of Tennessee class of 2008 signee Scotty Hopson.

Last week, as you could probably tell, I was a little perturbed at the prospect of having to go thru another off season wondering what will come of our beloved football team this upcoming season. That didn’t get any better when I listened to resident experts Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstriet call us a “non factor” for the 2008 SEC East race.

I don’t believe it comes as a huge surprise to anyone but the VolNation can breathe a bit easier as Tyler Smith has officially announced that he will return to Tennessee for his junior season.

On Wednesday Daniel West signed his letter of intent to play basketball at Tennessee next season. West, a point guard from Saginaw, MI, will join early signees Philip Jurick and Renaldo Woolridge in the Vols 2009 class. Scotty Hopson is expected to complete the class when he signs next week.

For those of you who missed the Nike Hoop Summit this past weekend, I managed to put together a few highlights of Scotty Hopson. Enjoy.
