I love the Vols as much as anyone on the planet, but we were not “right there with them.” They kicked our ass two out of three times and just won the NC over Houston who also kicked our ass to get there.Congrats to them for winning it this year. They lose their 3 best guards who got them that title. Several teams were right there with them this year including Vols. They just happened to win it this year.
They have zero top recruits or top transfers coming in. Right now Vols have the better roster. Gillespie is a way better add at PG.
Condon has until May 28th to decide if he's going to the draft or if he's returning to college in which case he says he would stay at Florida
I just have to say (unfortunately) that the two teams we played this year that I thought, yeah this team is better, were the two that played for the National Championship. Florida attacked the basket relentlessly and had a clear edge on us in athleticism.They kicked our ass once, we kicked theirs once, and they won a fairly close tiebreaker.
Which we are getting fixed. Added Carrey, leading for Freeman, and Ament we have a shot for. All of those guys are huge. ZZ, Gainey, and possibly Mashack will be back for the 5th year if it passes. Carey was the top offensive rebounder in SEC in kenpom.I just have to say (unfortunately) that the two teams we played this year that I thought, yeah this team is better, were the two that played for the National Championship.

IMO their bigs were good at getting those extra rebounds and kicking it out to Clayton & Martin. All their bigs are good but if you have to play through them none of them IMO are game take over guys. All are really good interchangeable SEC guys, that were just what Clayton needed the kick out 3 is the highest % 3 being shot. JMO If UF can replace their 3-point shooting and keep all their Bigs IMO none are NBA guys. They will be in the hunt and like everybody else in the tournament everything has to fall in place matchups and all to bring the big prize it's a certain number of teams have the base then its timing and a lot of factors like getting favorable calls vs Houston all a part of the game with humans involved.They kicked our ass once, we kicked theirs once, and they won a fairly close tiebreaker.
