I honestly could see UT finishing 2nd but I could also see them down in the middle of the pack again. A lot depends on health and how the freshmen adjust. This class has definite star power and potential, plus Russell and Nared are both proven players. If I were Holly, I would start those two with Hayes, Westbrook and Davis, and let them run with things. There will be an adjustment period for sure and I expect a couple of losses to some top programs while the learning is taking place.
I'm picking Mississippi State to win it all. Best PG, best SG and an ever improving McCowan.
They add some pretty good newcomers as well including a 6'1 forward from Australia who could be one of the better freshmen in the SEC this year. They also get an eligible Jordan Danberry from Arkansas in January. She will add great depth to their already elite back court. Depth in the front court will be their main concern IMO. They only have 6'3 and 6'2 underclassmen that have very little experience to back up McCowan.
Of course SC adds Jennings, LaDazhia Williams and possibly T'ea Cooper if she gets approved to waive the sit out year. SC is loaded to say the least.
