    Tariq's dad explains his departure.

    Volnation is so passionate and I truly love and respect you guys. Ive enjoyed this journey over this past year. Tariq has received his release to transfer today. He has some schools interested if you care to know here it is St John's, George Washington, UCLA, Louisville, NC State, Maryland...

    Tariq's dad explains his departure.

    We wasn't told anything by another coach. I do not believe Tariq can redshirt unless he is injured being that he did not redshirt as a freshman. That option is not an option now. In reference to what you are referring to. Durning the recruitment process a relationship his formed. You are in...

    You are 100% right.
  5. Q

    Tariq's dad explains his departure.

    Valid question reason for now because historically it's easier to transfer now after your freshman year then as a sophomore or junior. Even though Tariq didn't post big numbers is upside is there. Him needing a redshirt year he is more attractive to other high profile programs now with 3 years...

  8. Q

    Tariq's dad explains his departure.

    Great point it's a little different when your a paid professional and coaches change. My prayer and hope is that he lands somewhere where there is stability and we do not have worry about another coaching change at the college level. It's my job to try make sure the next coach is as stable in...

  10. Q

    Tariq's dad explains his departure.

    I felt like I needed to explain because of the way I felt about Tennessee and how passionate you guys are. I didn't want some of the things being said that wasn't true. For example some thought Tariq was running from better players that may come in" Hard work beats talent every time talent fails...

  12. Q

    Tariq's dad explains his departure.

    Thank you it's always about my son and family. The way I feel about Tennessee and the opportunity Tariq had here is why I am sharing this decision and process. The fans and support is great here. Tariq plays basketball because he loves to not because he has to make it so we eat like a lot of...
  13. Q

    Tariq's dad explains his departure.

    He's earned everything he's gotten in life thus far and I wouldn't expect it any other way. These recruits and top players you think they come to these schools follow these coaches without promises and assurance that they will play? Tariq was ranked 83 in the top 100 in the class of 2014 he had...
  14. Q

    Owens asks for release.

    I would never try and convince any of the team to leave. I was speaking directly for Tariq. I have not talked to any of the team about staying or leaving nor do I have plans to do that. They have to do what's best for them and them only.
  15. Q

    Owens asks for release.

    First I would like to say how much it was a pleasure being around the great University of Tennessee. Myself and my son Tariq Owens never wanted to leave Tennessee. When coaches change and the entire staff changes it makes for a very difficult situation. This decision wasn't a easy one but it was...
