| This team has tons of talent, but...........
I will not be sold on this team as a top 10 until I see some form of defense from them. There's a difference between not being good on defense and not trying on defense. Tennessee was both last year. This team has a ton of potential, and offensively I think this team can score with anyone in the country. But I cannot think this team is serious contenders for anything until I see effort on defense.

Posted via VolNation Mobile | I think that's one of the key areas for us. If we can go to Hopson instead of just Tyler Smith and he can get us a bucket during a drought, I feel like that will go a long way in determining our success. I really believe Hopson's improvement or lack there of is as crucial as some of the other areas of concern on the team.

Posted via VolNation Mobile | I'm hoping that will be Tyler Smith, and I think he can.

I did not realize you started a thread on basketball. All I've been reading is football related lately. I do agree with your point related to basketball though | |
