According to FOXSports.com's Jeff Goodman, Tennessee freshman Tyler Smith is trying to get a waiver of the NCAA’s transfer rule so that he can play this season. Smith transferred from Iowa after last season because his father has cancer. "We’ve got to let it run its course,” Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl said. “But I think it’s got a real good chance.” He also said that Iowa coach Todd Lickliter did a classy thing by letting Smith move closer to home. "This is a very competitive business and Tyler Smith is probably his best returning player,” Pearl added. “I really respect what Todd did. He did right by this young man.” Smith averaged 14.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game this past season.
