What a remarkable turnaround..

Link to tweet

Tennessee played a part in that turnaround.

Michigan coach Dusty May: "I called (Tennessee's) strength coach (Garrett Medenwald) and said, 'do you have anyone in your tree I need to interview or query? I have a lot of respect with how your guys play, how well they move, how physical they are.'

"Also, there's a different level the way they work and attention to detail. I've tried to absorb as much as I could from afar about his program. Couldn't have more respect for (Rick Barnes) as a human being."
