Tennessee Vols Basketball: Purdue Will Be Biggest Test So Far

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:13:50 +0000

We all love the preseason publications. I read two of them from cover-to-cover on a yearly basis—usually in more than one sport. When I read this season's Athlon basketball publication I was surprised to see how far they had Purdue going in March. As a matter of fact, in their mock tournament they had Purdue defeating Tennessee in the Elite Eight, advancing the Boilermakers to the Final Four at the Vols' expense. If that prediction is to hold true, it wont be the first time these two have met in 2009. On Monday night, Tennessee will face Purdue in the Finals of the Paradise Jam tournament in the Virgin Islands. Consider this the biggest test of the young season. No. 7 Purdue features dynamic playmakers like JaJuan Johnson and great defenders like Chris Kramer. Guard E'Twuan Moore can light you up from anywhere on the floor, but the straw the stirs the drink is small forward Robbie Hummell. So good is Hummell he is considered one of the top three small forwards in the country. Rivals.com ...

Mark Ingram Is the Latest Dance Craze to Sweep the Nation

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:33:52 +0000

With all the preseason hype surrounding Eric Berry and his possible contention for a Heisman trophy, it only made sense that the University of Tennessee do everything in its power to promote Berry. Insert "Swiperboy." The UT basketball player/rapper rhymes about the All-American safety with a music video and a promotional theme song. "Eric Berry" uses the instrumental from a track called,"Halle Berry" by Hurricane Chris. The video was a high-end production featuring cheerleaders, video effects, and highlights from Berry's career funded by the University of Tennessee's athletic department and their Eric Berry for Heisman campaign. Well, flash forward and now we have another theme song for your listening enjoyment. This time for Alabama running back Mark Ingram and his Heisman run. "Ingy" as it has come to be known is the latest installment of the wave of songs for Heisman hopefuls. Unlike Eric Berry, "Ingy" is produced not by the university, but by local talent in the Flint, Michigan area. The ...

3-Pointers: Syracuse is underrated

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:22:34 +0000

Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy analyzes what Friday's buzz means to college basketball. SU—Seriously Underrated You know that thing in the My Profile section of Sporting News Today, where we ask the athlete or the coach about their motto? Every time I see that, it reminds me I have no motto. Except when it comes to preseason predictions. That one goes: It's not about who you lost, it's about who you have. This is why North Carolina was Sporting News' No. 4 team. The top four scorers left, but the Heels remain loaded with NBA prospects. It's also why Syracuse should have been higher in predictions of the Big East standings. Even the league coaches whiffed on this one. They had SU sixth, behind Villanova, West Virginia, Connecticut, Louisville and Georgetown. The 'Cuse lost its top three scorers, but losing Paul Harris and Eric Devendorf was positive. Each was replaced by a better, lower-maintenance player. Wesley Johnson and Andy Rautins make Syracuse better. Had Jonny Flynn stuck, ...

Tobias Harris: Latest Addition to the Tennessee Vols Basketball Family

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:19:29 +0000

To say that Tobias Harris was a big catch for Bruce Pearl and the Tennessee Vols would be a massive understatement. As a matter of fact, Harris is quite possibly Pearl's biggest catch yet. Harris officially signed his national letter of intent on Wednesday night and announced his decision at the ESPN Zone in Manhattan on Thursday. In just four seasons on the job in Knoxville, Bruce Pearl has raised the level of play and the level of expectations to unprecedented heights. Tennessee is a football school. It's been known pretty well for basketball too, but that had much more to do with Pat Summitt and the Lady Vols more than anything the men ever did. Of course that's expected, since Pat Summitt is the greatest coach in the history of the women's game, maybe in the history of basketball, period. Still, Bruce Pearl had quite a job on his hands. Four years in, his program is on the verge of equaling the dynamic duo of Vols football and Lady Vols basketball. This signing almost assures that. ...

Top Prospect Tobias Harris Picks Tennessee, Spurns Syracuse

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:06:30 +0000

A top prospect in the class of 2010, Tobias Harris finally made his decision tonight, choosing to play his college basketball at the University of Tennessee over the likes of Syracuse, West Virginia, Louisville and Kentucky. The 6-8, 220-pound forward made his announcement at the ESPN Zone in New York City, surrounded by a crowd of fans hoping he would choose to wear Syracuse's orange rather than Tennessee's. In fact, the Syracuse-slanted crowd booed the decision. "I liked the family atmosphere, the campus," he said. "It was a place I could imagine going to if I wasn't playing basketball. I can talk to coach [Bruce] Pearl about anything." He joins shooting guard, and fellow ESPN Top 100 recruit, Jordan McRae as well as shooting guard Trae Golden in Tennessee's 2010 recruiting class.

Tobias Harris Picks Bruce Pearl, Tennessee Volunteers

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:00:42 +0000

Bruce Pearl has to be happy tonight, as his star recruiting prospect, five-star forward Tobias Harris of Dix Hills, N.Y., just announced his commitment to the University of Tennessee. Harris, rated seventh overall by ESPNU and universally regarded as a top-10 prospect in the Class of 2010, rolled with the Vols in favor of competing offers from Big East powers Louisville, Syracuse and West Virginia, Maryland and Georgia Tech from the ACC, and UT arch-rival Kentucky in the SEC. Over at ESPN, Matt Winklejohn has this great feature on Harris's growth as a player over the last several years. The SEC was college basketball's punching bag last season, but between Kentucky's Calipari revival and Pearl's hard work at Tennessee, it's starting to look as if the conference may return to prominence sooner than expected. Nabbing a major prospect like Harris is a coup for Pearl, Tennessee and the SEC as a whole. Read more College Basketball news on BleacherReport.com

Tobias Harris Signs with Tennessee: Becomes Bruce Pearl's Biggest Catch

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:58:24 +0000

High School phenom Tobias Harris has signed on to play basketball with the University of Tennessee Volunteers. In what has been a highly anticipated announcement, the young man is quite possibly the biggest recruit that coach Bruce Pearl has landed in his five years as head coach at Tennessee. Harris was the No. 7 rated recruit in the nation by ESPN. While some publications have him as high as No. 5, he is the No. 1 rated power forward in the country. The 6'8, 210 pound forward chose Tennessee over offers from Maryland, Syracuse, West Virginia, Louisville, Kentucky, and Georgia Tech. Since taking over the program, Bruce Pearl has quickly made Tennessee a destination for talented players from all across America. Last year's big signing of Scotty Hopson came with plenty of hype and the expectations appear to be coming to fruition in his sophomore season. By following that signing with a high profile guy like Harris, Tennessee becomes a major player for the nation's top recruits, a ...

Can Tennessee Overcome These Newest Distractions and Finish Strong?

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:28:37 +0000

The loss to SEC foe Auburn seemed to be a wake up call to most fans. That was a contest of two rebuilding teams with two new SEC coaches. This game would go far in showing which team was making the biggest strides. Auburn won that in a close contest, but it may have been a turning point for Tennessee. They committed themselves to knuckle down and work hard and they certainly did that the next week in completely demolishing an old SEC foe, Georgian 45-19. Crompton ended up silencing many of his boo bird fans and the following week they almost succeeded in pulling off the upset of perhaps one of the best teams in the nation, Alabama 12-10. They came back the next week however and once again humiliated South Carolina 31-13 and pummeled an out-manned Memphis team 56-28. Then came news of the arrest of three players in an armed holdup attempt. Whether that was the cause of the distraction or not the wheels came flying off and Tennessee was beaten a plow mule by Ole Miss 42-17 in a game that ...

Crystal Ballin': Purdue, Tennessee Headline Paradise Jam

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:18:37 +0000

This Friday, eight solid college basketball programs send their teams to the U.S. Virgin Islands for the 10th annual Paradise Jam tournament. As the Purdue Boilermakers are part of this year's event, it's only fitting that a Boilermaker columnist cover the Jam and offer some predictions on the outcome. Two Top 10 programs, Purdue and Tennessee, headline the tournament, with two other teams who reached last season's NCAA Tournament, Northern Iowa and Boston College. UNI and Purdue, in particular, have a little familiarity with each other, with Purdue ending UNI's NCAA ride in last year's first round. Unfortunately, the rematch would not occur here unless the two meet in the championship or fourth-place games. But, we're getting ahead of ourselves.

Three Pointers: Early tests helping top contenders

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:30:47 +0000

Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy analyzes what Wednesday's buzz means to college basketball. Self awareness Lots of writers mocked Kentucky coach John Calipari for claiming he was "ecstatic" about his team falling behind by 18 points. (Hey, I'm sure it was all in good fun, right?) But Kansas affirmed Calipari's point that there is nothing better for a highly rated team in November than a near-death experience. Looking at KU's schedule in October, before anyone had bounced a ball, it was hard to find an occasion when it appeared Bill Self's Jayhawks would be challenged, let alone beaten. The Jayhawks aren't playing in any Maui Invitational or Paradise Jam-type tournaments. And they aren't playing much away from home before New Year's. They go to Los Angeles for a Dec. 6 game against UCLA, but the Bruins are rebuilding. They play La Salle in Kansas City, which is just home with a short bus trip included. But feisty Memphis rose up Tuesday night and pushed the Jayhawks all the way to ...

Lane Kiffin Has Serious Issues with Judging Character

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:35:42 +0000

This is just getting out of hand and fast. Lane Kiffin may be a wonderful recruiter but he apparently is horrible judge of character. Today it was released that yet another Lane Kiffin Tennessee recruit was arrested for a form of theft. This latest incident is nowhere near as serious as armed robbery, but still it must raise some questions as to Lane and his staff’s evaluation of players. Nyshier Oliver was arrested earlier this month for shoplifting a minor enough offense, but still this is not little kid stuff anymore. This is D-1 football and these boy's are men (if you are old enough to be drafted sorry but the kid crap is out). They should start acting like it and apparently the Kiffin should set them straight. These men are not just football players they are ambassadors of their team and more importantly their school. The University of Tennessee also bears the name of its respective state and this continued crime spree in Knoxville is a black eye to all those who reside there. It is one ...

Lane Kiffin Exposed as a Liar! Let's See Him Explain the "Other Arrestee"

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:36:50 +0000

We've all heard the story about the thee players arrested for their part in an attempted gun wielding robbery attempt. We all heard how Kiffin had just spoken hours before the incident and proclaimed how there had been no such incidents. We finally heard his explanation and how proud he was that they went "11 months and 11 days without an incident." Our hearts went out to him as we felt this could have happened anywhere and we were willing to give him a pass since nothing else had transpired like he told us repeatedly. But today word came out that this was indeed NOT the first incident. Freshman defensive back Nyshier Oliver was charged with shoplifting on Nov. 7, just hours before the Vols played Memphis. According to the Knoxville News Sentinel , a police officer spotter Oliver trying to conceal a $110 polo shirt in a Dillards bag. Oliver's punishment was handled quietly, and he was taken off the dress roster for that game and banned from team activities, according to Tennessee ...

When Do The UT Fans Start To Wake Up?

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:48:08 +0000

So you are the University of Tennessee. You've had a pretty good football program for as long as anyone can remember. It's not as good as the fan base thinks it is, but it's not bad. You have a coach who has been pretty successful over his entire career. He 's about 150-50 at your school. He also played for you and bleeds Tennessee Orange (or whatever that color is). But he is getting a bit long in the tooth. And his team is slipping. You look around at Penn State and Florida State. Two programs you have wet dreams about. They are now mired in mediocrity. The coaches there are college football legends. So much so that the schools they coach for into their 80s cannot get rid of them. You don't want his to happen to you. So after the third non-bowl season in five years, you decide it's time to make a move. So you let the coach go. Now who to replace him with? Well we got rid of a coach because he wasn't getting it done, so let's hire someone completely the opposite. Ok let's make a list. Old ...
