Barnes on McGhee in release: "He's a team guy & what he ultimately wants is to have a more impactful role on his team, which I understand."

Writing was on the wall

 

[CAVol]

Now we know why he didn't play

 

[oryankees]

Wow... hmy:

 

[snapcracklepop]

Isn't that AuntieDee's family?

 

[GiveHimSixGoVols]

Love to hear this story

 

[BearCat204]

Who?

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Wowwwwww.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Love to hear this story

I'm sure the version you'll get here will have a slight bias

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Sorry to hear this.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

That's really odd. He was 1st or 2nd off of the bench at the start of the year.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Jabari has huge potential. Said I wouldn't critique Barnes, so that's all I'm saying.

 

[YankeeVol]

Interesting

I guess he needs to find a team more desperate for post players than Tennessee.

Wherever in hell that is. .......

He's best suited at a mid major similar to his former teammate Willie Carmichael who ended up at WKU

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

He would play a lot more minutes at a mid major level. He's just a little small for a post player in the SEC. I can't argue with his decision. I hope he does well wherever he transfers.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

If he goes to a lower level program... they could be very good in their league. He might see more NCAAT action there than his TN teammates ever will.

Good luck to McGhee in his future endeavors.

If I had to name all the positives I could about him, upside/potential would be pretty low/not on the list. I think he will be tough to find an instant replacement for, but I think he was about to be recruited over with Fulk/Williams coming in next season.

With that being said, he always played his ass off. I hope he finds a happy home.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

He could even find a better opportunity at another P5... one where he's a 4 and isn't ever going to be forced to guard the 5. He might even develop into a 3. The 3 isn't a huge need at TN.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Barnes hates players with one leg six inches shorter than the other.

 

[Cocke-y_Vol]

If he wanted to be more of an impact player he shouldn't have fouled so damn much.

Undersized freshman post players often have that problem.

So this opens up spots for 2017 now. Wish McGee the best wherever he goes.
