See, that's a bad look for some teams, not ours. We have quality young men, that never get in trouble, especially with guns (i.e. - Bama). Now that I think about it, who was the last player to get into any kind of trouble under Barnes? Maybe, Burns failing a drug test for weed, 7 years ago ?

Carr was allegedly in some trouble at some point but it wasn't public (in the media) knowledge.

So, no legal trouble/police involvement, since Barnes has been here ? If so, pretty impressive

Not sure how much law enforcement was involved in the Carr thing, but he is the only one in Barnes's tenure I can think of even potentially brushing with the law.

Derrick Mostella was dismissed in his first season. Burns...there are rumors of his failed drug test(s), but officially, at least, he transferred. Outside of Mostella, I can't even think of another who was dismissed, let alone in the headlines for illegal activity. The program has been in great hands from that standpoint.

Was Carr an allegedly underage relationship ?

Can’t remember the last time we’ve had a duo I’ve been this excited about watching. Admiral and Grant I suppose. Just need to figure out that 2 spot and stay healthy and I think this team has a chance to be special. I think this team is being really undervalued by the national media.

They are and until we see them on the court that’s fine, but I do think they will be changing their tune.

Yeah, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to undervalue us right now, because it’s a lot of new faces. But I just think if we stay healthy our front court is going to be one of the top 2-3 in the nation. Add a dynamic duo like JG/Ament, just a lot of weapons to deal with. I’m really excited to finally get to watch Estrella play for the first time as a major contributor.

I also think Burg/Abram are going to be more than capable 2 guards/6th men. And we have depth. Obviously optimistic but the team does feel special and finally complete, not reliant on elite parts but full of them.

I thought long and hard about your statement. For me, I had to go back to Tony Harris and Vincent Yarbrough. Before that, it had to be King and Ernie G.
