I think the on again off again nature of his d effort is part of the issue. Posted via VolNation Mobile |

| Bottom line for me, I may get my season tix again just because Tyler is back...
Without him, NO.
He WILL most definitely be a beast this year... |

| Here's to sucking a little less next year, which is where I see us being with Tyler's return. I hope Tyler's decision works out for him and he can get some better opportunities next go around. |

| Its pretty crazy how people say that Tyler will give us a few more wins since he is coming back & they down sound excited about it. We won 21 games last year!!! 6-7 years ago almost everyone on this board would have went crazy over us winning 21 games, now its not good for some people. |

| I'm really going to have to pay more attention to the basketball squad next season. I've seen some of Tyler Smith, but not a lot. He's always been special to me because he's from Pulaski, Tennessee. That's where I'm originally from and it's not necessarily the biggest city around.

Posted via VolNation Mobile | Tyler is all about ability,,, he is an incredible athlete. I think much of his issues are mental as you allude to with his defense and we have all witnessed several errors on simple shots on the offensive side as well. If he was more mentally focused I think he could get his game where he wants it to be. |
