    Kentucky fan here and imo he's one helluva player! I don't think a lot of people out there underestimate Tennessee but watch out those few do. They gon make some serious noise in the upcoming tournament. If it's not UK to win the ship, then I'm cool with any other SEC team to win it. May all the SEC teams bring NCAA and other leagues to an unpleasant awakening with every W as we advance - including the ones in NIT. #BBN🔵⚪️🙌

    It's been so tough after being a football Powerhouse year in and year out. Winning the first ever BCS Championship and then it all fell apart. Of course we had Pat Summitt bringing us title after title on the women's side ,but you know it just ain't the same. (No offense ladies)Then these guys came along and gave us a whole new sense of pride. Crazy to think we're actually becoming a basketball school as we're losing our credit as a football school. (Got to give Josh Dobbs credit though for giving us a couple of exciting seasons on the Gridiron.)
