Four starters are gone, all in the NBA, and Rick Barnes is starting all over with Tennessee basketball. Where does he stand with his new team, and who’s now going to step up to lead the Vols after so much attrition?
Over the last two years, Grant Williams was easily the go-to player on the team. Admiral Schofield was the wing and the leader. Jordan Bone was the point guard. Kyle Alexander did the dirty work under the basket. They were easily the four most important players in the program last year, so UT has a gigantic task ahead of them.
