Oh yes, I really enjoyed being out of the tournament and watching Auburn (a team that usually goes to the tournament once every 15 years) go to the final four. We are just so much better off. SMHPerfect timing BW
Thamks for reminding us why we really are Much better off these days under Barnes than we were then under Pearl
I'm sure you realize that he was speaking in terms of the character of the players being recruited and yes, there is a noticeable difference between now and 10 years ago... How many players were dismissed under Pearl (at least 3 that I can think of - Ramar Smith, Tyler Smith, Duke Crews and Williams really should have been at the end)? That hasn't been a problem under Barnes and is not likely to become one in the future either. Read about why Josiah James found Tennessee alluring. And we won't talk about potential problems with the NCAA either...Oh yes, I really enjoyed being out of the tournament and watching Auburn (a team that usually goes to the tournament once every 15 years) go to the final four.

It has been 8 years now but if I remember correctly, he tested positive for marijuana near the end of the 2011 season but Pearl misled the press and said that Williams had a back injury and was missing time because of it (he was actually serving a suspension). This came down when Pearl's seat was already boiling. I remember Williams being a big kid who lost a lot of weight but was still a big kid... very raw but became a better player than anyone thought he would be.Heres what I remember about B Williams. Every foul call he would yell f u k with that deep voice vibrating off the Tommy Bowl walls.

Lol. Def not appropriate for VN. I also have a gay cousin who dated one of the former men's players. I know personal details of someone being paid to commit to Jerry Green. I never tell dude's business though.
Are you serious right now?! You canāt drop nuggets like this and then just be all, peace out! Go on...Lol. Def not appropriate for VN.

When I was younger I knew a ton of the players. I'll just say many blunts were blazed and bottles were popped. They were local celebrities and definitely acted the part.
