Skylar McBee

One of our best friends from high school, Brad Schrock, has a brother in law that plays basketball for the University of Tennessee. He plays about 12 minutes a game, and is part of a rotation that plays 10-11 guys regularly. He had a shining moment last year against then #1 Kansas, when 4 Vols were suspended due to drugs and guns, hitting a huge 3 late in the game to seal a upset over the Jayhawks.

In November Skylar and the Vols traveled to Pittsburgh to play Pitt. Heater and Lucas got a chance to go to the game with Brad and Skylar's brother Chase. Even though Skylar had to endure "Justin Bieber, Justin Bieber" chants from the Oakland Zoo (the Pitt student section), the Vols upset Pitt and looked like a sure Final Four team that day. And Heater and Lucas got to meet Bruce Pearl. They've had their struggles this year, but have the talent and depth to make a run. But they have to get by Michigan first, as they're down 4 at half.

Our inside info led us to this gem. One of Skylar's teammates, Renaldo Woolridge (Orlando Woolridge's son) is also a rapper on the side. "Swiperboy", as he's known, wrote a song about his team last year. Check it here:
