What does everyone think our expectations are for next year?
I think we should be at least 3rd round contenders.
Top 20 team.
21-23 wins and 12-13 wins in the SEC
Ok..so when we have 18 - 19 wins and are a bubble team...will it be fair then to say this team has 'under-achieved?' Or will you then say, "Well, it was a rebuilding year, and he had that petition signed last year, so we are lucky to have 18 wins...blah, blah, blah???"
Just checkin up front to make sure.
Coach knows he needs to hit the ground running and capitalize on the Sweet 16 success, 5 one and done phenoms will be just fine.
Depends on if Stokes stays. If he stays, I see a top 15 team and Sweet 16 at least. We will pull in the TSU guy and should be as good if not better than this year.
If Stokes leaves, I think we are a bubble team, but I still see some good things.
J-Rich will be all-SEC, Hubbs has the potential to be special. We just need a big that can score.

Simple expectation should be like ZJC said, make the tourney. That's what most agree the expectation for Tennessee is, making the tourney consistently. As we saw this year once in anything can happen, so if you get in every year you're bound to end up winning a few at some point.
