Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[UTSuave’]

After talking with someone close to the situation regarding UCLA’s coaching search, Wallace was told that “it does not seem that Barnes is using this situation to receive more money from Tennessee.”

@HankHill

We gonna hire Ron Slay?

Nah but I’d be cool with Ernie. Don’t tell me that dude couldn’t recruit some one of done guys

 

[JCP201]

I'm going to go to bed and wake up with Rick Barnes gone to California and Grant going to the NBA, aren't I?

 

[Smokey123]

Why don't I care more?

Probably cause nothing will happen

Buttttt it’s UT so I’m just waiting for that gut punch....

More I think about i just want to say man.... **** Rick Barnes.... it’s a Sunday night. I ain’t try to be worrying about this petty ********. Go to UCLA and enjoy all those left wing hippies then be like Lane Kiffin and have the OH **** wtf did I do moment

 

[UTSuave’]

This is interesting. Could there be more to this story? Between Turner tweeting about barnes saying it wasnt a foul and then admiral tweeting about wishing hed seen his coach show something, maybe not everything was as great as it seemed behind doors. Never a dull moment in Knoxville

Are you guys saying there a problem between Barnes and Fulmer or the AD of UCLA ?

Only Tennessee could make that Jerry Stackhouse hire look not that bad

A lot of assumptions at this point.

I’m just assuming our hearts are about to be ripped and we will make a head scratcher hire. Because Tennessee

If Barnes leaves I have zero confidence that whomever is hired will last more than 4 years.

Basketball forum throwing out heavy hitters names. Meanwhile I’m looking to see Assistant coaches for local Junior High Schools

Yea, look at junior colleges, community colleges, NAIA. I think sometimes these ADs try and find that diamond in the rough to say "look what I did".

His boss is a football guy who (in Barnes opinion) may be too invested in football. He may see that Fulmer opened up the checkbook for football assistants while he has struggled to get what he thinks his assistants are worth during his UT tenure. ...

Recap of what Basilo has said.
Barnes has interviewed and been offered the UCLA job.
This isnt about the money. Its about Fulmer caring about Basketball. Thinks its too Football centric. Been like this since mid-season.
Fulmer and Barnes met or is meeting with Fulmer tonight.

Well thats been our MO, Finally find a good coach and someone else grabs them out from under us.

No kidding

No one does the offseason like the Tennessee Vols

COY in the am


GTFO in the pm

 

[volfanCLT]

Tennessee basketball is in a position to make a really good hire, if need be

Hoops is a very attractive job right now. Big names would bite

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

To be fair CRB has reached his peak. What coaches could we get?

 

[Catbone]

I agree.

 

[Big Sun]

I thought errybody said Lanier was next man up? WTF.

 

[Ace]

What if Barnes goes to UCLA and takes Grant and Bone as a grad transfer. Fulmer needs to step up to plate
