7. What will Robert Hubbs III’s role be?
The former five-star recruit has been up-and-down through his two seasons in Knoxville, but to his credit, he continues to work and could be relied on more than ever in 2015-16. Hubbs disappeared at times last year, but also stepped up with some huge plays – including a game-tying bucket at Vanderbilt to send the game to overtime and double-digit scoring performances in three of the last four games of the season. With Tennessee looking for star power, scoring and help in almost every aspect, look for Hubbs, who is starting the season a little bit banged up, to be asked to do more and more.
