mrob Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 LOOKS LIKE MCBEE MAYBE BE ONE OF THE BIG SURPRISES FOR THE VOLS THIS YEAR. I HEAR HE WILL BE WORKED INTO THE ROTATION AS A WALK-ON (SCHOLARSHIP SHOULD BE FOURTH COMING). SEEMS LIKE HE MADE A GREAT CHOICE TO FOLLOW HIS DREAMS. GOOD LUCK TO HIM!!!

DyronNix Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Their saying he could see around 15 minutes a game. Which is excellent considering he is a walk-on, but he is the real deal, he just needs to bulk up a little more to see extended time.

I don't think bulking up has anything to do with Skylar's minutes. He's much stronger than Hopson or Tatum. He'll have to show that he can defend on the ball. He does a great job defensively off the ball as evidenced by the steals he's had in the exhibition games. He's a tough kid that was All-State in football as well as basketball. Much better athlete than most people realize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsnut624 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 We'll find out how good he is in a few weeks. The two exhibition games had terrible guards that he was matched up against. I want to see if he can stay with a good, quick guard defensively. He has played well so far though, and I hope he has a fantastic season. It's always nice to see a hometown player succeed at the big level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope McBee has a great career in orange but with the highly touted recruits already committed and several others on the target list this could be his one and only moment in the spotlight.

Not many people did. He has proved people wrong at every level and I believe he will continue to do so. Highly touted players are fine, but they do not have a way to measure heart and desire. Noone has more of that than McBee. Some may have as much, bot none have more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely stronger than either Hopson or Tatum. He's added about 10 lbs of muscle (but was stronger anyway). He lacks their height and length. He's a very hard worker and has busted it in the weight room to improve strength and quickness. He may be as consistent as either from 3.

QSouth89 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Heart and desire may help but the bottom line is Skylar can flat out shoot the ball and he gets his shot off pretty quickly. I hope Bruce Pearl gives him a scholarship it sounds like he's earned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
