Can he release players who signed their NLI or does he have to keep the two signees? I would imagine he wants Phillips. Schoefield I wouldn't be surprised if he was asked to look elsewhere.
I've been trying to find information, but not having a ton of luck. Has Barnes talked to our current players and has he addressed any recruiting plans/needs?
You really think with our lack of depth he will be turning somebody away? You may be right, but I would be surprised. I guess he has time to get a few more guys, because I remember being surprised when Tyndall was able to pick a few up over the summer last year.
A lot of grad transfers will be available. There are several uncommitted or unsigned top 150 guys Barnes could get on that wouldn't have given Tyndall a look. I don't think Barnes would have a problem getting 5 or 6 guys better than Schoefield.

Schoefield's AAU coach is a former Barnes player. If Schoefield wants to come to UT, then I do not think he will be asked to look elsewhere.

How in the world does Vandy manage to get these bits and Tennessee can't sniff their sneakers. Hope that changes now.
