Tennessee Basketball Arrests: Tyler Smith, Three Teammates face felony charges.
The shame

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Four Tennessee basketball players, including starting senior forward Tyler Smith, were charged with gun possession and other counts after a Friday traffic stop.

The Knoxville Police Department said Smith, 23, junior point guard Melvin Goins, 22, junior center Brian Williams, 22, and sophomore guard Cameron Tatum, 21, were arrested during a traffic stop for speeding near Tennessee's campus.

According to a police report, officers smelled marijuana coming from the car and found a handgun with an altered serial number, a bag of marijuana and an open container of alcohol. Tatum was driving.

1. Tyler Smith. An Iowa transfer.
I've got no problem with a little smoke on occasion. Should not even be as issue. Get drunk. That's OK, though.

3. We call them UThug down here in SEC country.
They've signed 5-star basketball and football recruits other schools have ran away from simply because they were thugs.
