That series won’t be renewed after Memphis beats them the next 2 years. Wait & see. Play against Tubby teams for 3 years and then continue it? Sure. Play and have to recruit against Penny? Nope

If Williams and bone return we prob won’t beat them there next year.

When you say "we"...

No. Always root for chaos when it comes to UTK.

I actually think the Barnes-is-great thing will come crashing down this year. He caught lightning in a bottle with the group of players he had. Dem guys is gone, and they will see a big decline this year. All those bandwagoners will be jumping off by January next year, and returning their focus to their true Spring love - football recruiting.

But still...root for chaos.

He went from 1.4 million a year to 3.1 million a year. That would make a lot of tears go away.

Do you not think Williams will be a lottery pick? He'd be crazy to stay if he is.

He's a tweener who sometimes are really good players in college. He's probably only 6'6" or so. That would make him an undersized 3 in the NBA. He would have to defend guys that are quicker on the perimeter. Early to middle 2nd round is probably best case for him. Thing is though he's not going to improve his draft stock by staying another year.

No, I don't think he is lotto. But I think his stock is as high as it gets, so might as well JUMP!

But that has nothing to do with my post you quoted, which was more directed at a Tiger fan saying UTK will probably beat us. Even if you think it - you never say it.

First rounder,he should go imo.

Should make the Vowel fans happy.

Barnes: If UCLA paid buyout, would have left

Quote:Last week, UCLA hired Mick Cronin after whiffing on Tennessee's Rick Barnes.

But what if UCLA had promised to pay Barnes' $5 million buyout?

"I think I would've been the coach at UCLA," Barnes told reporters in Knoxville on Tuesday. "I've said that to people before. I really felt at that time that's what would happen."

UCLA doing their coaching search on the cheap too.

He's making most mocks in the 20's right now.

Late first to early second seems likely but still not very likely to be a lottery pick. I would still take him over Cam Reddish if I had a pick.

It's confounding how poor UCLA's leadership is in athletics.

UCLA still thinks that they are winning championships every year and players/coaches will sacrifice to come there.
