Tennessee point guard Melvin Goins and guard Cameron Tatum will
rejoin the Volunteers on Sunday after serving suspensions for their
Jan. 1 arrests.
Coach Bruce Pearl said Saturday that he decided to reinstate
the pair after learning more details from the legal investigation
and Tennessee's student judicial affairs process.
Pearl suspended Goins, a junior, and Tatum, a sophomore,
along with forward Tyler Smith and center Brian Williams after the
four were arrested on misdemeanor gun, drug and alcohol charges
during a traffic stop in Knoxville.
Pearl says Williams, a junior, will remain indefinitely
suspended. Smith, a senior, was dismissed from the team Jan. 8.
The ninth-ranked Vols (13-2, 1-0 Southeastern Conference)
host No. 21 Mississippi on Saturday.
