Edey says Rick Barnes looked over him

[cobbwebb0710]

Awaka pushed his fat arse around when we beat them this season!

College basketball about to transition into "who's got the biggest guy, lob into the post and draw fouls"

Gross. No one wants to watch that kind of basketball.

This.
Was it true? Of course, it was true…Coach Barnes among others said, “Pass.” It’s intentional shade, which is why it’s so cringe. I certainly wouldn’t want my child saying that.

And I certainly wouldn’t like DK calling out Coach Painter if the shoe was on the other foot.

I don't know the recruiting game...Did Barnes go to see him play and say no, or was he never on Barnes' radar?

CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH PLEASE, MISTER?

When school ended in New York City this past June, I decided to take the kids to a Yankees game to celebrate. It turned out to be a gre...

That's true but he wanted to speak his truth. It's nothing wrong with that. He didn't disrespect anyone. Some of you guys are soft as JA

I know a couple of real badass dudes, who don’t feel the need to tell you they can rip your throat out of your neck, you just know they can.
The good ones don’t need to tell us they are good, everyone knows it. Have some respect for your opponent and for the game. I guarantee you that Rick Barnes was very respectful during this kids recruitment.
Do you think Barnes said “you are not good enough to play for us!”
I doubt it.
Nobody overlooked a 7’+ three star basketball player.
Some may have told him that he didn’t fit their style or scheme, but no one “overlooked” him.
But if he needs that motivation, then more power to him.

That is late1970s and early/mid 1980s college basketball. It’s why the 3 point shot was legislated into NCAA games.

To make games better, the 3-point line ought to be at the NBA distance and the 3-second rule should be enforced occasionally (even if only once or twice a game to eliminate bigs from pitching tents and camping out in the paint).

So Barnes should’ve asked Edy for his autograph and maybe he wouldn’t have dropped 40 on us yesterday?

 

[RDU VOL#14]

This is what I see with him. He looks like a f’ing psycho

 

[DaddyChad]

Sometimes better to keep your mouth shut and say nothing, have a little humiltiy. You don't have to call anybody out by name like he did.

He’s a DA kid. Plays with a chip on his shoulder. He will be successful if they keep twisting the rules to protect him. He will be a complete bust in the NBA though bc that physical BS won’t work; they won’t protect him.

 

[spyfish007]

I don't recall DK talking about teams overlooking him.

 

[Creekcat]

Did he play against any other coach that "passed" on him? Did he say the same thing after beating them? If not, why do it now?

 

[gray0306]

neither the time nor place...what a damn bozo

I foresee a rough rookie year for Mr. Edey. NBA has plenty of guys that are close to his size and far more athletic.

 

[VOLtaism]

Barnes didn't look over IT. He didn't want to feed IT for 4 years!

 

[YankeeVol]

Clown a** kid had 3 offers lol

 

[barney]

imagine being player of the year and having just punched your ticket to the final four you are still so petty and angry you call out a coach for not recruiting you lol

I feel bad for this guy. What a self-centered primadonna.

 

[wmcovol]

Sometimes schools just don’t have a place for a player. Edey is 2X CPOY. He’s getting the awards, etc he’s earned. Pretty lame to play the disrespect card now.

Why single out Rick Barnes of all the coaches? Maybe he wishes he was a Vol

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Has anyone seen Draft Day? The hot shot projected #1 pick QB has something that seems off to the GM. Turns out none of his teammates came to his birthday party, which the GM sees as odd and maybe a red flag. It appears that this all star player isn’t liked by his teammates or anyone else. I think of that when I hear Edey talk. He seems like the type that nobody really likes but has to tolerate to win.

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.

 

[BigALWiLson]

Completely honest take .... Who really gives a damn what this over grown clown has to say ? He is not very good And wont be allowed to shove and shuffle his feet and sling elbows whatever his next step his. Officiating in todays College Game is absolute trash with no consistency.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

Good. Don’t want this kind of player on the Vols. They will not win it all

Is Edey saying he might have signed with Tennessee if Barnes had offered? Barnes wasn't the only P5 coach that didn't offer, so why single him out? A comment by an immature person.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

So did 300 other coaches. He had 3 division 1 offers.

Because they just beat Barnes’ team. It was an attempt to cast himself on some sort of underdog role, like it was redemption for the little guy against a coach who overlooked him. It was stupid and immature and he’s an absolute punk which is why Purdue fans live him so much.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Nope, and every time a reporter tries to give him praise he gives the praise to his teammates. Every time. He doesn’t brag on himself ever.

To be fair, at 7' 4", he should have had a lot more offers. Apparently, they dropped the ball on him.

 

[Delmar]

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 gotten passed over to go on and have success as well without the preferential treatment he has been getting the last few seasons.

We Vol fans got to watch one of those guys in Knecht this season.

Excellent point. DK was just as overlooked if not more. Had to go the JC route just to get noticed. Developed late and spent 2 years toiling in obscurity (not in the limelight at Purdue) before getting his shot at the big time. He flat delivered and didn’t get preferential treatment like Edey gets. He has more reason to cry than Edey but you hear nothing but appreciation and class from him. Very telling about the difference in character and thought process before speaking.

 

[Delmar]

He is good. At tackling.

I count 4 fouls right there and you didn’t show the hip check on the screen on Gainey that knocked him to the floor.
