It’s about that time. In a little over a month, Tennessee will hit the hardwood once again. It’ll be a new era for the Vols, who will be tasked with replacing four of their five starters from last season.
Preseason practice begins today, so expect to start seeing some bits of basketball information start to leak out over the next few weeks. With practice underway, here’s what I’m watching for over the next month.
No more Grant Williams, Kyle Alexander, D.J. Burns or Derrick Walker. That’s four post players to replace for Rick Barnes, meaning the eligibility ruling on Uros Plavsic is the most important storyline to follow ahead of the season.
