Agreed.

I respectfully disagree. AB at best was a pretty good guard. If he was great he would have been starting and playing huge minutes, and he would have never transferred. This is my opinion of course. You guys can have yours, I'm ok with that.

I think that someone can be a 'great Tiger' and not a 'great player'. ABarton stole some games for us early and was a very serviceable and steady player.

Certainly calling him a great guard would be a stretch, but by my account he seemed to be a great teammate, role player, and student athlete. So, why he might only be very good on the court, calling him a great Tiger still fits.

See. Joe1 and Tanya. You are BOTH right.

Good chance we wouldn't have gotten Michael Dixon, Jr.

Agreed, but it is a bit awkward.

Nah, I don't see it. Did the GW players rag on Pellom?

Probably, all on good fun though. As far as AB goes, he was one of my favorites until he put on orange. Shame he couldn't find someplace else to transfer.

Agreed. He was my very favorite. When he chose UT, it's like REALLY?
So much for the story that he wanted to be closer to his daughter. I hope UT loses its next game. Go to hell, UT!
