Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

My stepfather has a few connections at UT, and he told me that he received some texts saying that CRB has decided to stay and that his assistant salary pool will get a large increase. He also said that UCLA will not announce that Barnes turned them down and will pursue Chris Beard directly after the National Championship Game.

I can't speak to the validity of this information but thought I'd pass along.

That makes sense.... there was some info about UCLA wanting to drop the buyout and wanting to give Barnes some incentives or bonus vamping up his contract... but UCLA not wanting to do both... I get the leverage pull by Fulmer then... it makes a lot less sense to let him walk and not get that buyout...

 

[scvolfan7]

Lol at the idea of rick “praying on it”. Is god really gonna tell rick to abandon these kids so he can go stroke his ego by resurrecting UCLA? BS in my opinion

No matter what happens, let the lesson be:

Have an agent to do your dirty work for you

Tennessee could have released they hired Hitler to coach LV and no one would pay any attention with this Barnes flake job.

Former Lady Vol who won 3 national titles under Pat. She led Missouri State to the sweet 16 as a 11 seed season this year and won The Kay Yow National Coach of the year.

Sounds like a good hire

[appyvol]

Booooom!!!! Wait... is this good? Never heard of her

Played for Pat. Won 3 national championships as a player. 2x coach of the year, (1x Socon, 1x MVC). Took Missouri State to S16 this year. Got fired from NC State, but seems to have turned it around. Won Kay Yow coach of the year this year.

Uh oh @Warrior5

 

[JCP201]

She was fired by North Carolina State and Wes Moore took over and is now winning. I would rather Wes Moore come here.

Ah the wolves have turned

 

[LA Vol]

They weren't going to announce the LV hire until later this week to kick off All Vol Weekend. Not sure that deal is officially done. I'd be surprised if UT confirmed it.

Harper?

Don't mean to back you into a corner and please do not respond if you'd rather but, if you're an alum of both UT and UCLA, do you favor one over the other?

At this point I’ll be disappointed if Bruce Pearl isn’t coaching at The University of Tennessee next year.

What a loose screw. You have little idea what you are talking about. At least Rick is going about it the right way.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

I would guess there is zero chance Josiah James is in Knoxville next year if Rick Barnes and Mike Schwartz are not.

Rob Lewis

Well, sure, UT is #1 with me and it's not even close. I enjoy UCLA sports and events when I can, but when people ask where I went to school, I automatically say UT. I do hate SC, though. I mean, intensely.

Kellie and her husband John are incredible individuals. I got to know them during their time at UTC. I hope, if it is her, she has great success.

 

[yourstruly23]

I don’t care if we lose Bone, Grant, or whoever else. Rick better be at the very least a 23-25 game winner next year or he’s gonna be on the hottest seat in America after this stunt

Just heard Barnes is staying... all a power move to get more for his assistants. I also heard Fulmer asked around about Pearl and some other coaches and didn’t hear anything that made him think anything was promising... Fulmer then doubled down on Barnes... not sure there will be an announcement today maybe something small and something bigger for this weekend... also expect them to throw some sort of appreciation thing for Barnes and staff... Barnes was at one point seriously leaning toward UCLA but in the end this team and town won him over and of course the support... also told his assistants will be paid well. Barnes is here until he retires. Or we let him go.
