So, with a coach like Barnes it is almost imperative that he have at least 3 four or five stars in the lineup in order to have a half-way competitive bb team similar to Florida or Texas A&M, whereas an above average guy could coach up 3 good three and a couple of four or five star guys and be able to make the NCAAs.

If you want to bash Barnes, why don't you stick it in the Coach Talk thread?

If you have the perspective than I am certain you will lose more than you will win. It is called a Power 5 conference and not every 3 star you get can be coached up.

I would be curious to know if any of our guys worked out or attended any big man camps this summer considering how inexperienced they are.

Louisville not making it is good news, UCONN scares me a bit, need CRB to land this one.

I agree BTO. He needs to land Victor. I hope he can get Stokes and Samuels. Although with Samuels Duke and UK are getting involved now so theres that

I'm curious to watch it play out, don't think the staff wants to take 3, but would they turn away any of their top guys?? Will be worth watching and hopefully is an issue that they encounter.

With Tubby in Memphis, Stokes may be a tougher get. But Barnes has a track record of putting BIGs in the Association. Quality Bigs is a must for this class.

Memphis has never been a big pull for the Stokes family. so far all their kids have gone to UTK.

Yes, but only because Pearl and Forbes had been fired at Tennessee. Jarnell was a lock to Tennessee until that point.

Lmao. How can you say that when Jarnell accidentally answered the recruitment phone call from Cuonzo Martin? It was by insane luck Stokes came here.

Only because BP had been fired. He was a silent to UT from the end of his Soph season. He even said it in an interview with the KNS after he came here. Coach Martin did a great job to salvage this.
