Vols’ Preseason Rankings A Surprise

Posted by Tom Wilson | Posted in Preseason | Posted on 10-30-2009

I don’t know about you, but I must admit I was quite surprised to hear that the Vols were ranked 10th and 11th in college basketball’s preseason polls.

After all, the Vols went unranked for most of last season, and by all accounts have not added any significant signees that would warrant such a position. I find it hard to believe that juco signee Melvin Goins or incoming freshman Kenny Hall would be enough to elevate Tennessee into the Top 10.

Remember, basically the same group of guys last year lost 13 games and earned no better than a No. 9 seed in the NCAA tournament.

But the rankings are what they are, and the Vols are poised to move even higher in the polls in the preconference season, given their schedule.

In fact, it’s quite possible that Tennessee could find itself in the top five in the polls leading up to its game against USC in Los Angeles on Dec. 19th. The Vols don’t play a true road game until then and only venture away from Thompson-Boling Arena to play against a less-than-stellar field at the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands prior to USC.

And it’s not out of the realm of possibilities that the Vols could be 13-0 when they host preseason No. 1 Kansas in Knoxville on Jan. 10. Tennessee currently does not play a ranked team before then.

If you have tickets to that Kansas/UT game, you might want to hold onto them.

Tom -

Did the Vols sign anyone in the early period?
