i know we have given him grief on this board but he has actually done a decent job at UT without really any highly rated kids. I think they are 24th in AP this week.

It's still early, and Tennessee is no better than the 4th best team in the SEC. Barnes has a long career record. He has been a successful coach, although not particularly impressive with apex level competition. For all the talk of new SEC "parity", I don't see it yet. The main variable is actually UK. Some in the media sound ready to write an obituary on our team, but I believe Calipari will have the last laugh. Florida and Texas A&M are playing high level basketball, but that is nothing new. They are always good. Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, LSU are actually down compared to their historical standards. Missouri lost their best player. South Carolina is not impressing me. Unless Alabama and Auburn turn it up a notch or 2, this is not an atypical SEC season at all.i know we have given him grief on this board but he has actually done a decent job at UT without really any highly rated kids.
