I'm not concerned about the knee.

Jarnell will do well. Hall and Makanjoula have experience and talent. It's untapped talent, but talent none the less. You got Dwight Miller who can give you decent minutes. And then UT is now better suited with Cheivous and Edwards to play a four guard lineup now.

The rotation for the regular season with Maymon out IMO:

PG- Golden 30/Moore 10
SG- McBee 20/McRae 20
SF- Richardson 25/Edwards 15
PF- Hall 25/Chevious 10/Makanjoula 5
C- Stokes 30/Makanjoula 10

Would rather have a fully healthy Maymon than having to deal with a nagging injury that could keep him out of games all year. Martin knows what he is doing and is not going to play him if he feels he is not ready. We have a good team this year and these guys play together very well. Go Vols

Maymon coming in late could give us a boost like Stokes last year.
I see this close knit group pulling together and raising their game until Jerrone returns.
No panic mode for these kids.
Going to make this season even more interesting.
Can't wait!!!

2 things that worry me about that starting lineup. Hall getting that many minutes, he just seems to have regressed since his freshman year. And scoring outside of Stokes and Golden, this is why I'd like to see McRae finally be the player he can be, and take the starting job.

Obviously most important thing is him being healthy for SEC and tourney play, but definitely a blow to lose him for early on.

We play some good teams and have a chance to make a statement and really build our resume, will be harder to do with a 2nd team all SECer on he bench.

If we had to pick one starter to take a break before SEC play, it's for sure Maymon IMO. I'm fine with this. Of course I'd love to have him for the tournament, Memphis, and GTown but we'll be fine.
