Im not advocating for firing Barnes at all what he has done is fine.I just can’t expect EE’s around here when our history only has one all time. It takes some luck to do it, too. Losing Alexander to injury, a bouncing ball on the rim, and a questionable foul all played into not advancing further for Barnes’ UT teams.
I also don’t think next year will be bad. We will have an elite PG, and we will add to the post whether it’s a reclassified BHH or a transfer post player.
This program sucked when Barnes came. The fact that we are discussing this is pretty remarkable.
The FF talk came from Rob Lewis and other Vol Media guys who told us this team was head and shoulders above the conference, that a legit 7 footer would be the only thing we would struggle with. Obviously that wasn't true, imo we should never talk pre season higher than S16/R32.
When I think next years team I see:
OU with Trae Young and ???
LSU with Ben Simmons and ???
Alabama with Collin Sexton and???
Georgia with Edwards and ???
