Cuonzo is and will continue to be one of the many hardworking b-ball coaches in the middle. You know, they can either recruit, game-coach, motivate, or provide discipline in a program but they can't do all of them and hence, never break out of the pack. Most conferences are filled with these...

Hoping that we're better record-wise than the simulation suggests doesn't mean we will be. I'm optimistic for 6-7 wins but wouldn't be shocked if we come up short. I'm looking for progress on the field throughout the year.

I would add Mike Edwards - the Greenfield Gunner - from the Mears era in the second tier.

Not sure that I get all the outrage on what should be a community of vols fans. OP is sharing his opinion and the fact that he has chosen to do so publicly suggests he's interested in hearing from others. He's seen two years of inconsistent play (yes, Maymon's injury was a huge factor this...

Agree, Chris4Vols22. I don't think we sucked. We were mediocre far too often. Some may think that's too strong a word - at best we were average over the course of the season.

Many of you are missing the point (not a shock). Yes, we didn't have Maymon, but can anyone honestly claim this was a good year???

I'm not suggesting that a coaching change is needed. I'm merely observing what I thought of our team this year. I agree not having Maymon was big, but I had expected Stokes to have a bigger year. Yes, we had a few nice wins but it's my opinion that this year was mediocre. Not hating, not...

I can't claim to be a basketball guru and can tell you definitively that we deserved to be in the NCAA or not. Having said that, I am amazed that Coach Martin seems to have no doubt that we should have been in and that obviously impacted last night's performance by the team. I don't see...

Mediocre team with adequate coaching is how I would characterize what we experienced this year. I thought Stokes would turn into a beast but his offense is not developed. Can't say I followed Purdue and Keady but I always thought of them as at the top of the middle of the pack in their...

Back to the topic at hand. I want progress in terms of performance on the field. OUr D sucked last year and never got any better. Wins were only the result of outscoring the other team (yes, stating the obvious but you get my point). I want to say at the end of the season next year - this...

It's probably been said but our performance this year wasn't strong enough to merit a definitive invite to the tournament. Frankly, the entire conference is esepcially weak this year. I could be surprised but I don't see much noise coming from the SEC participants. Two losses to UGA, an...

Keep reading all these articles that the qb class is weak and there might be none drafted in the first round. I'm not seeing Bray's name mentioned - any thoughts on what round he'll go?

Love the optimism but I think reality is 5-7. We lose all that offensive firepower and can anyone honestly know what to expect on defense? I like the potential in our WR corps but it, along with the qb, is unproven. Oregon, UF, UGA, Bama, USCe are losses. I can't say I know enough about...

I think to improve in recruiting we'll need to show improvement on the field PLUS give the coaching staff a full year to recruit. A program in decline isn't a good recruiting tool and we've seen evidence of that the last few years as we've missed out on big names again and again. Taking a...

Agree that Jones probably did as well as could be expected in a short recruiting cycle, especially since the "best staff in America" was primarily from Cincinnati and didn't have many of the big names on their contact lists. Sorry, I had to take the one shot. I was hoping we'd at least get...
