We went all in on a grad transfer, Kerry Blackshear. It seemed like we were a lock for KB, then we were not and he picked Florida. Had jacksh!t to do with UCLA, but that would NOT fit your narrative. Plus, if u had any reading comprehension, u would realize Chris was saying Bone barely got drafted, one of the last 5 drafted, iIrc. Bone, probably would have been 1st round pick if he came back, especially, after watching this Vols team thru 16 games. But, once again, that would NOT fit your narrative, neither. The one thing I do agree with u about, Barnes did mismanage the roster. Kent was a bust that ended up transferring after the season started, which hurt, immensely. Would have been a lot better if he had transferred around the same time as Walker (another bust). Burns transferred late too, which hurt. Still, I'm an optimist and partially a realist, UT wins 3 out of the next 4 SEC games. That's Vandy/MSU on the road and Ole Miss/A&M at home. Well........they better or I may give up on them, also. Nah, probably not, a part of me still thinks they can beat Kansas even tho that's even a worse match-up than Georgia was.
Btw, I think Anthony Edwards will be the number one pick in the NBA Draft.
