Regardless how this ends up, I have gotten a kick out of reading the UK forums. They can't fathom why any star player would want to come and play for Tennessee! I think it eats them up inside because they know deep down they pay their players, and out of all coaches, they can't accuse Rick Barnes of paying for a recruit. It just doesn't make sense to them lol!
Here's one I enjoyed! They are already coming up with excuses!
"He could have stayed at Va Tech to be "The Guy" for a mediocre team on the fringes of college basketball -- that's Tennessee. Hell, Va Tech was a BETTER team last year than Tennessee will be this year. Or he could reunite with his coach Buzz Williams in Texas A&M and have the same experience.
Let's face it -- Either he will come to Kentucky or he was scared off by the idea of Kentucky and competing with a team of studs."
