Best of luck to you Mr. Bonds!

I did not know walk-on needed release

He's still an eligible D1 player. You don't just stop showing up and hope they notice.


It doesn't make sense. Bonds would have had a chance to get real PG minutes he likely wouldn't see anywhere else. He had dedication problems IMO. First Liberty now here?

hope this does not aggravate the other Braxton

This guy is going around the horn. First Liberty, then UT, now who knows and has yet to play a second.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

And SD is on suicide watch,

Prob a small school close to Nashville that will put him on scholarship

Hasn't he been for like 2 months now? Lol

 

[Dallasbowlin]

I don't know, but our luck he will go to candy and kill us in a couple years lol

Highly unlikely he'll land at an SEC school (may not even have a choice), let alone any high-major school.

I know, but with our luck with basketball nothing is impossible haha

He probably saw the handwriting on the wall. He wants to play BB, but wants to play more minutes that UT will give him.

I think it's talent than dedication. If I was going to Liberty and Tennessee called I would switch too.

Toni Braxton has bigger problems

This is why I would have taken Tookie Brown along with Lamonte Turner this spring-- we are just too thin at PG

And take a chance on missing on Bone? No thanks, Barnes and staff are building for the future.

Is this really a big deal? Turner and Phillips will be fine.

Nb4 don't count out the walk-on from Riverdale.

Could it come into play with foul trouble or an injury, absolutely, but Barnes and staff clearly are looking long term not short.

Agree. I think they will be fine at PG next year

Good point about Bone. Im like you, hoping Stella steps up and squires the handle needed to get some minutes there. I'm sure the staff will look for ways to get him minutes. Especially with the logjam we have at the 2 and 3.
