Prince SEC Player of Week

Prince is a prince on a day for a prince! Go Vols and merry Xmas!

The guy has unbelievable skill. Makes this team even more dangerous come March. This bunch ought to drub the SEC this year. Sure hope it comes to reality. Florida is rebuilding, Kentucky is woeful, Vandy is candy. Should be a special year!

I agree with daddyaxe. This team is getting pretty good, and Lofton hasn't even been a real factor. When he gets going, they should be scary good.

i know we will be fine but there are so many doubters alot is about loften they think he is overated but when he awakens from this first third of year sleep he has been in everybody will get the anwser .he cant go from a great shooter to a bad one you only get better when he gets his glitch taken care of and he will be back at sharpshooter status and we will be a scary team to play against with loften shooting as he did the past few years and tyler smith and jp prince i see a great upside to prince and the others who are playing alright but need to play better.people was talking about ramar smith would go pro after sophmore season i expected him to get better but he is having a sophmore slump i hope because after freshman year i expected him to score 15, 6 assist 3 steals and 5 reb but he hasnt improved and is horrid at the line,and has been called alot for carring the ball which is a joke all players carry it ,and lost his starting job to a role player at best

I agree with you Plasticman, with so many options this year the Vols are more versatile than last year. Lofton's game will come, but there may be nights when perhaps JuJuan, Ramar or even Tyler will be the "go to guy". To me that's not a bad position to be in. We've already seen a big game from Brian, now JP. This is what makes this team fun to watch. And just imagine when Crews is healthy.

DSaVol, what we want is to see him shoot the ball as would be expected from an "AA" so designated because of his shooting. At at tad less that 35% he is the very worst shooting player on the team including walkons--yes he should be shooting 45% from the field and if he has to cut back on the 3s to do it thats what he needs to do IMO. Only you are impressed he has the most pts of anyone though shooting 35%. I agree with the supporting cast he doesnt have to avg much and i'm fine with that but damnnnnnnn the AA needs to shoot a respectable % or assist someone else who shoots better which is everybody. If others are getting better looks now because defense is focusing on him then thats going to change as teams will quit respecting his shot since hes showing no improvement----everyone quit saying its early--no it isnt, hes had an entire offseason and a third of this to get his shot down----maybe he needs some pine-time as a wakeup call rather than being comforted by all the excuse makers

ballewville6 , I can only hope and pray that UT didnt admit you. Have you ever heard of punctuation???---you went 11 lines without any. The point you are trying to makes gets lost in your apparant illiteracy. IMO you need to focus on more important stuff to your life than basketball.

I'm just worried about 2-3 times a game we seem to go through a scoreless period. This seems to last about 2-4 min. We need someone to step up in those times to get us going again. Lofton could be helpful in those periods. Otherwise we could have a few more L's on the record. I'm really worried about Memphis. At least it's not till Feb. Living in Memphis with Power T stickers on everything I own I get a lot of flack. Oh well keep winning VOLS!!!!!!

I agree with DSA and the others who posted like him. The player I am waiting to see step up in Jajuan, right now he hurts this team more than helps. I think CBP will see this and start Prince over Jajuan. He has been taking way too many bad shots, almost like he is trying to "get his". I like B. Williams as well as. The way Chism has been playing he may soon lose alot of his minutes to BW. Look forward to them playing the Zag's

This team just keeps getting more and more exciting to watch. We have about 5 go-to guys now in : Chris & Jajuan driving to the basket, Brian down low, Tyler & J.P. in creating their own shot. Ramar and Jordan (at PG) get get the ball to one of those 5 players that are in the game at the time. Ryan & Wayne could also be there to reiceve passes down low or pick-up the garbage on the Rebound/put back. Ramar, Jordan, Tyler have improved their FT shooting while Chris & Jajuan have remained steady. Wayne, Brian, Ryan, & J.P. still have alot more room to improve on. It looks like they will probally get out rebounded, but create more TO off of steals and Defensive pressure. They are going to shoot alot of 3's (hitting 30%+) creating long rebounds, but they are sharing the ball creating alot of assists. If they take good 3's for the most part, make smart passes, play their hearts out on defense (full ct/half ct & in-bounds plays) and shoot 70% from the foul line, they will win 25+ games and win the SEC. This would also mean a good seed in the NCAA tournament. NCAA tournament is all about match-ups and who's hot at the right time. Gonzaga looks like TN in alot of ways. It should be a fun game to watch on Sat at 4. GO VOLS!

Yabababble - as several have alluded to here, you sir are a damned moron! You seem to base much of your views of CLo on his selection as a pre-season AA. Just in case you don't have a clue about that either, that is MEDIA OPINION! Chris didn't ask for it, politic for it, or even want it. If you could read you would know that he's said MANY times he's not an AA but just wants to win games. Your misguided impression that he somehow owes something to you or anybody besides his teammates and coaches is simply comical. Quite frankly there are probably 10 shooting guards in the country that are better than Chris all-around but I still wouldn't trade him for ANY of them because he understands a team concept and has unquestionably dedicated himself to it. So all that said, take your Fred Flintstone wannbe self and read Basketball for Dummies before posting again.
