He's great for college ball if he gets freed up a bit since his height disadvantage doesn't hurt him much down low in the college game.
Generally agree, but he has shown the ability to play d when he wants. I think the on again off again nature of his d effort is part of the issue.

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...

He was preseason SEC POY by many last year.

Most had Marcus Thornton of LSU. I believe he was the coaches' pick.

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.

Expectations get raised. It's a good thing.

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.

In all fairness, why would you pay more attention to TN basketball this season than the past two?

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.

Not really. In NBA terms, Tyler Smith is average athletically.
