Nice read about both sides.

Wow. Well, as long as Tobias plays well and plays hard each game, the rewards will come. No one should expect him to be here still beyond next season at the latest. JMO, IMO, IMHO, TIFWIW, GBO

Note to self: this is the kind of sh!t you have to do and get your kids doing for them to compete at the highest level. Is it worth it?

GBO and all but dude, Tobias, sleeping in once in a while happens, relax or you will end up with no life to show for all your $

Good read.

Tobias is driven. Sometimes I have to wonder if it originates in himself or with his dad though.

I find it pretty impressive that UT was the only school to have a program put together for him to still earn his degree after he leaves for the NBA.

I dont follow bball recruiting as much, but what schools were recruiting TH?

Nice article. Tobias is a class act all the way around. I just wish we could keep him here for at least 3 years, but know that's not possible.

Cuse, KY, Maryland, GT, Louisville, etc

He'd be at West Virginia if he hadn't chosen Tennessee.

Seems to me like early on in his life it was 100% dad and 0% self. Clearly it is to a point now that Tobias carries on the determination himself, but his dad still plays a major role in everything he does. I'd say probably 70% self, 30% dad.
