2 or 3 because of very weak player development skills
so big deal...we all know your perfect...just by your bandwagon post...lol....but that means i'm just as qualified to post a bit@h or gripe as you'll ever be..then again i will give you that hubbs may have not been the best play to call because of his knee...but damn bruh...call something...it just hurts...if you need to further your tirade do so...i'm bigger than that...but you know i'm right..
Ppl are crazy in here. Rick Barnes hasn't done anything pivotal to advance the program. If anything it has gotten worse. I would give him a 3 at best and next year doesn't appear to get any better.
I'd rather have any of our last 3 coaches than this coach. He is at the end of his career, but the higher ups and fan base will give him opportunity after opportunity just to fail. If it wasn't for Kevin Durant he'd been fired from Texas a long time ago.
I share this concern. I didn't think Schofield or Phillips were much better in year 2 than year 1. Phillips actually seemed to go backwards.
If we don't see big improvements from Bone, Bowden, and Turner, we will be in big trouble and not be near a tournament team next year.
Hubbs is a much bigger loss than people want to admit. Evans turned into a serviceable 4 guy by the end of the year. We will need Alexander to continue progressing and Kent to be ready from Day 1 to have a chance at the NCAAT.

What planet are you posting from?
We return everyone except for Hubbs and Lew, and get some additions including Fulkerson back. We absolutely should be better next year
I think adding Johnson, Walker, and Pons (plus Kent if he doesn't RS) and having 6 experienced sophomores instead of 6 freshmen in place of Hubbs and Evans makes for a roster upgrade.

I'm sorry, but your opinion losses all credibility when you use admiral as an example of player development being a failure. Also Shem has better guards in front of him that we didn't have his freshman year. I mean how do y'all come up with this crap, honestly?
Check out the sophomore stats of Phillips, Schofield and Alexander and tell me which of them jumps off the page as having made strides between their first and second seasons.
Admiral shot it better from 3 but that's the only improvement of the 3 guys.

Vols Basketball just isnt' fun to watch anymore. I think Barnes is a good coach...He's just not a "great" coach here. Give him another year to turn things around and maybe we might be "good". Unfortunately, I just don't see us being a top-quality team like Kentucky for years to come and that's sad. I give him a 5 at this point in time.
