Tyler Smith returns for Junior season

The tallest of the Smith boys has made it official that he will remain a Vol for next season, per a press conference this morning and reported by Mike Strange and Mike Griffith of the KNS. This is HUGE news.

It’s huge news because now I can work on my 2008-2009 previews, knowing the official roster. It’s also pretty big for the UT team, but first things first.

What a couple of days for UT basketball; a 6′6″ premier wing signs on and a 6′7″ multitalented forward and team leader confirms that he’ll be in orange for another year. Bruce Pearl has to be on Cloud Nine.
