Tennessee junior forward Tyler Smith revealed for the first time this season that he's considering returning to the Vols for his senior year. "Sunday could be my last game (at Thompson-Boling Arena), and it might not be,'' Smith said after Thursday night's 86-70 win over South Carolina. "It's 50-50 right now.'' Most everyone had assumed it was a forgone conclusion Smith would turn pro after this season, and the subject had not been broached. But Smith brought up the possibility of returning for his senior year at Tennessee when asked what the difference has been in his play the past two games.

I hope he comes back, but he may look at Lofton making the mistake of staying his senior year. With that being said, he would come back to a better team than Lofton had his senior year.

Lofton is circumstantial, he developed cancer his senior season and played while undergoing radiation and chemotherapy. That was the reason Lofton declined his senior year.
