A year ago, Jerrone Maymon was not deemed good enough to play much for the Vols. Steve Pearl was thought to be the better player and Pearl beat out Maymon for the back up post spot. One year later, look at these stats and they will open your eyes to a player, who has worked his butt off and has become a good basketball player. I would like to see him work on cutting down on his turnovers. He gets careless with his passing. He is a tough rebounder and at 6'6" can control the glass in a game at the collegiate level. I still say he would be a NFL tight end if he gave it a try. Here is a post from a fan on VN discussing what Maymon has accomplished. http://www.volnation.com/forum/tennessee-vols-basketball/156035-breakdown-jeronne-maymons-improvement.html |

Eh.....it was a very different system....Pearl knew it & Maymon didn't. I saw him play in his first game and I stated then that he'd be a good player and a good leader.....but he looked a bit lost last year and I'm amazed how good he is around the rim after watching how bad he was last year. He's working on an outside shot now....ought to be interesting.... |

FWIW, Steven Pearl was one of Maymon's biggest supporters. Plus, Pearl could make surre everyone was in position. Pearl did more with less athletic ability than anyone on the team. Hee never got a call from tghe refs, either. |

Steven Pearl had no business on an SEC basketball court..........period. And CCM can coach circles around Bruce Pearl. However, Bruce is the best snake oil salesman in the country. |

I will say this about Cuonzo Martin.....the man has done a great job of piecing together this team and melding these pieces of scrap iron into a steel blade. If you recall, the Vols were picked to finish 11th in the SEC by the SEC media, prior to the season beginning. Here we are in 4th place and battling to finish as high as 2nd in the league if everything were to fall into a perfect place for us. |

The team is taking on the personality of it's coach. Having Stokes doeswn't hurt, either. Not only talent, but his swagger as well. |
