What’s the scoop?

The only thing I could see being a problem for him is if he for sure wanted to start wherever he went, then he might choose somewhere else, but I dont think that is the caseUnless he's afraid of mixing it up in the SEC, it seems like a perfect fit for him. The talent at guard keeps defenses from focusing on him, plenty of playing time available, and posting up next to Fulkerson should limit how much he can be double teamed when he gets touches in the paint. Switching on defensive screens could present challenges however. He might be unable to effectively defend on the perimeter. Maybe CRB will cave and work on some zone in the off season.

I hope not, Yves really blossomed at the 4, and he can still utlilize those perimeter skills there. I dont think we need to change the starting lineup 3-5 (JJJ, Pons, Fulk) with this added transfer, but he could be great as the first post off the benchHe may well start for us next year if he can play defense. For Pons to make it big at the next level he has to develop some perimeter skills. I’m sure he will be working hard on those skills this off season so he may start at the 3 next year leaving the 4 open for Anosike
What he does best is what we lack the most; rebounding. On the surface, we could use a rim protecting 5 man, but we led the SEC in blocks last year, so that seems to be more of a myth than reality. If we had some guards who could stop ball penetration, we wouldn't have all those block opportunities, and I think Springer and Johnson will go a long way towards providing that.True. But he'll have a ton of PT at TN unless ORN and Uros take giant steps in the off season. If he's the real deal he could even crack the starting 5 by SEC play. We really need a beast on the boards.
I have never seen one piece of evidence for that idea, just random comments from the resident stirrersMan, that is some awesome stuff. From both guys. Thanks, Dal!
I guess we can put to bed the silly idea that Bone didn't care for Barnes, or for the way he coached him and challenged him. He sounds like a walking, talking billboard for the man.
