Great story. Really impressed with Mcraes development. Its great that the players seem to really respect Martin. I hope he can be successful but he does have some work to do in getting the best out of his offense.

That's one heck of an article there Mr. Rucker. Great insight.

Was this tough to write or not, Wes? You had a great story to work with. McRae is our leader by ovservation of the past several games, and I don't mean just the leading scorer either.

What a great story. I hope McRae represents the Vol basketball program as a whole. There are still some rough edges and some growing up to do, but Martin is going to be there and make it happen. Vols!!

Great story, Wes! Love to hear that our coach is having such a huge impact in guy's lives off the court as well as on it.

outstanding read..im not sure who impresses me more in this story, Mcrae or Martin.. I guess ill just say im glad we have both of them. Love to watch a player like Mcrae, with all the ability in the world, mature and develop, and I love to see a coach bring the absolute best out of a player.
