AB to UT [merged] - memphis88 - 05-26-2013 11:23 AM
What a shame.

@WillTheThrillB5 My bro Antonio Barton has decided to attend Tennessee for his senior year where he will be allowed to play right away

Tennesseee....really? Jiminy crickets

If AT gets to be a starter at UT and hits a winning shot against UK then it's all good. Best of luck AT unless you happen to play us.

Well, that sucks.

Is AB a traitor?

I was looking for conformation, guess I found it.

Antonio helped pull Tiger basketball back from the brink. He's a good kid. Best of luck to him. He has the opportunity to start and play major minutes there.
RE: Antonio Barton *Boom Outta Here* - MemphisFan95 - 05-26-2013 11:53 AM
Oh we'll glad he played here but I'm not wishing anyone at UT luck hope they lose every game
RE: Antonio Barton *Boom Outta Here* - memphis88 - 05-26-2013 11:56 AM
Don't like that he chose UT but if he feels like it will put him in the best position to succeed then I certainly can't fault him.

About what? He isn't a native Memphian. He just wants to start and play a lot. This isn't a Scooter McFadgeon or Tony Harris situation.

It'll be interesting to see the reception when they come here next season. Sure he'll get a bit of applause before the game but once it starts expect no quarter.

Good luck to Antonio ! Being from Baltimore, he doesn't have a clue why everyone would be so upset with this transfer. Just wish everyone would wish him well and move on. He's a good kid.

Thought "UT sucks" is a mantra, their basketball team will not suck this year, and AB will regrettably be bard of their climb.

I disagree. They will be pretty bad. Hubbs and Stokes are good but that really is about all they have.
RE: Antonio Barton *Boom Outta Here* - jrylee1 - 05-26-2013 12:04 PM
really five hours closer to home allows you to do this when you are still 8 hours away? What if he transferred somewhere only one hour closer would that be allowed? Hope he does well while his team loses every game. But it seems like this rule is being misused.

He has been here long enough to know why people are upset

So he should give up playing time in exchange for only transferring where Memphis fans think he should go? Really?
