Nope.
Can't blame Barnes or any other coaches really for this portal madness.
Can''t really blame the players for going after the money either. Just is what it is at this point.
Agree totally on all counts .
The short response on him from Barnes as compared to the rest of the interview kind of stuck out to me that he was finished as well with Aidoo.
On if he would classify the departure of Tennessee junior center Jonas Aidoo as a surprise
“Yeah, because he had told everybody he was fine.”
Sounds like Barnes has moved on from him...
Love my Vols til the end but I have already checked out on attending or watching a lot of sports.
With the never ending rise of tickets, I just sit back and ask how people afford this stuff.
Saw Final Four tickets for upward of 12 K.
Even the NC ST football game in Sept is on the high end...
I'm not seeing the NBA in Aidoos future but best of luck to him and the rest of these guys wherever they land.
It's all business decisions now and some fans are still taking it too personal when these announcements come out.
No sense p*$$ING and moaning about these guys leaving anymore.
Exactly.
Knecht didn't get the head start of being able to move from Toronto to go to IMG like Edey.
Yesterday summed up the difference in the two players.
Knecht deflects when it's suggested he put the team on his back and gives his guys credit.
Edey makes it about himself complaining...
Good Ol Bo Callahan with Diddy as his agent. LOL
Hope Bo didn't take any trips with Diddy.
Agree on Edey coming off as a completely unlikeable, pompous ass.
It is impossible to take Edey seriously playing the disrespect card after watching him get literally double the FT attempts of the ENTIRE OPPOSING TEAM by himself.
He got passed over in recruiting a few years ago. Boo friggin hoo.
Hate to break it to him, but a lot of other players have...
Just way to slow reacting and moving his feet the last two games IMO
Got into a discussion over it with another poster in the Creighton live thread who disagreed.
Barnes said all that needed to be said when he benched Aidoo against Creighton very early in the second half and again today. He was a complete liability on both ends of the court.
I want him to succeed but he completely wilted under the pressure of the last two games on offense and, even...
Yes it was.
Im not gonna lay it all 100% on the refs when the Vols go through a couple of their patented 5 min scoring droughts and Aidoo completely wilted this entire tournament, but the refs share more than their fair share of the blame in this one.
Everyone saw it coming too.
Hope NC ST...
