'15 AL PG Lamonte Turner (UT commit 4/28/15)

Not an update on this in 2 days. Barnes must have it like Ft. Freakin Knox over there.

What kind of update are you expecting, it's out of Barnes' hands, they're waiting on the clearinghouse.

Turner is listed on the roster now, and I noticed him in the photo gallery in that Hoops for Hope team activity on the utsports.com web site. Two good signs...I think.

Whoop and a Boom. This calls for a cerebellaration.

^Great News!

I don't think that they would list him on the roster if he wasn't cleared

Wish that was so but

Preston Williams is listed on the football roster and certainly isn't cleared

Yes. Being listed only means they have been admitted to school and have enrolled. They have met university requirements, but the NCAA has yet to clear either player.

Give me Bobby Maze every year.

Very under appreciated as a Vol. I challenge those who disagree to check out some Maze highlights on YouTube.

I agree. I distinctly remember a clutch mid-range shot late at Arkansas that won a game. He was solid, steady and a good teammate.

Isn't today the last add/drop day for classes?

 

[BruinVol]

He is already in class

Irrelevant now, as he has been admitted and is attending class. Just waiting on the NCAA to clear for participation in athletics.

Not sure how much stock to put in this, could just be a quote.

He has a lot of cryptic tweets, like most people do. Not safe to assume it's bball or clearinhouse related (but it definitely could be).

Looks like the Vols can't catch a break...

Lamonte' Turner ‏@LTurn1
Blessed to be apart of such a great school and basketball program but I've been ruled ineligible for the 2015-16 season. Truly humbled! VFL🍊

Meant for Football, but applies here too.

 

[Mullins2010]

Sucks...Will redshirt this year but still able to practice

Unfortunate, but he will have a year to develop his game more. On the flip side, we have our PG committee to show and prove. Let's go Moore and Punter!k:

Glad he'll get to red shirt and we have Bone coming in next year. This year was going to be rough anyways, hopefully our fans will cut Barnes some slack and we don't have too many firing threads. Won't shock me if we do though.

This is Tennessee, there will always be firing threads. If coach chooses option "A", we complain that he didn't pick "B". If he picks option "B", we complain he didn't pick "A".

There is quite literally no pleasing our fanbase.

 

[BruinVol]

Ok

1) massive massive swing and miss failure by crb not bringing in a PG to help this years team.

2) are we getting hit with a NCAA violation like was reported if we brought turner to campus only to have him rules in eligible??
