I only added Federman and Roth at Center as kind of a joke, since I thought they were weak as big men.

If the three point play were in effect when John Snow played Lofton might have chasing him now! As the great John Ward would say when Snow launched one....."Bottommmmmmmm!!"

this has been brought up before, but i've never seen a satisfying answer. i can't imagine four of the starters not being ernie, bernie, houston, and ellis. but we need a PG. do we have anything remotely close?

If the 3 point line was around when M. Brooks played he would have hit a bunch and Tyrone Beamon was pretty good at the point.

I would take C. J. also. Tony Harris seemed to fall apart in the tourney games but had a lot of talent.

who would they replace? I'd place dale ellis in front of both of them. Yarbrough had more talent than anybody at UT (except B King), but never lived up to it.

Right now I wouldn't have them on the list either but I would have love to have seen Yarbrough with Pearl as head coach....He was athletic as all get out, could have really flourished in Pearl's offense.

Brooks was from Memphis and a fabulous shooter. Also Gary Carter from East Tennessee and Crosby were good shots.

How could I forger Beamon. I think he wa an assiastnt coach at Bama and got their program on probabation leading to Hobbs firing!

if it is the same beamon, he gets my nod for PG just on the bama probation part alone

Also add Rodney Woods. He still leads the Vols in Assists, I think.

I see no mention of Ron Slay, Ron Slay was nasty and was the SEC scoring leader (I think) his final year at UT.

He's balling overseas right now from what I hear.

Yes, he was the SEC's leading scorer, but somehow did not make the All-SEC team. No respect.

Most people weigh a player's NBA career to evaluate how talented they are. Slay's lack of a career hurts him in some eyes.
