I think part of the problem is that Tennessee hasn't had a coach who values the point guard in a long time, maybe since Mears and DeVoe, two coaches who had really good point guards.
Pearl's offense didn't value a PG, Cuonzo's basically had the guy bring the ball down and go to the corner. Buzz, who knows with him. Jerry had Tony Harris, and recruited Harris Walker, so he seemed to value the position.
By contrast, Calipari makes a big deal out of recruiting a true PG every year. He focuses his offense on making the PG a trigger man.
We'll see what kind of value Tyndall places on the position. You have to want PGs and feature them to get good ones.
Lots of good points.
