I haven't seen this on here anywhere so I thought I would share. Biggest surprises through the early season. Some nice good press.

Jeff Borzello, college basketball insider: Tennessee has been the positive surprise for me. The Volunteers had to replace their veteran frontcourt duo of Grant Williams and Admiral Schofield, along with star point guard Jordan Bone. And although it's only through three games, Rick Barnes' group hasn't missed a beat.
I had high hopes for the perimeter group, with five-star freshman Josiah-Jordan James joining Jordan Bowden and Lamonte Turner, but it's the frontcourt reinforcements who have opened my eyes. France native Yves Pons and 6-foot-9 junior John Fulkerson have stepped right in for Williams and Schofield; against Washington and the Huskies' first-round NBA draft duo of Jaden McDaniels and Isaiah Stewart, Pons and Fulkerson more than held their own and helped lead the Volunteers to a 13-point win.

It's only 4 games so far, but this team has definitely been a pleasant surprise. If they can just be consistent, which is usually a strength of Barnes, then we're in for a great season. I think we'll know exactly what type of team this will be this season after next weekend. Go 1-1 and I call that a success. Go 2-0 and we'll exceed expectations.

This team defines its own success. FTW esp this douche of an “insider” borzello. Don’t be jumping on our bandwagon
