"Vols picked 4th in pre-season SEC hoops poll. KY picked first, UF 2nd, Mizzou 3rd. Stokes 1st team All-SEC, Maymon 2nd team."

I think UT's Men will be in the NCAA tournament as most likely a 7-10 seed

I think the team will finish 2nd in the SEC and be a top four seed.

That's not to say that the pick isn't fair... I think it is completely fair... I just think Mizzou and UK are going to underachieve based on those expectations and UT is going to overachieve based on those expectations.

I agree. Most UK fans I talk to say this year's team won't be anywhere near the last 2 years teams. UT/UK/Mizzou/FL will be the top 4. All in the East too

Actually, there's not an East and West division for basketball purposes anymore. 

I think we can win the SEC.  And if Golden develops some consistency, and Kenny Hall returns to the level he was at before his suspension, we can still be playing in April. :thumbup:

Oh yeah I forgot. I think we have a nice mix of seniors and juniors with experience. This is an experienced team with quite a bit of talent, and we should be beasts on the board.

When will the current crop of recruits hit town?   Are they all in for next fall, or are there some early enrollees?
