Antonio Barton is coming to UT

[calban]

WTF?!?!

1. Bye bye VQ

2. WTF is up with Johnson, are we really going after him and someone else is leaving?

Wouldn't hurt a bit to get both.
2 solid 3 point shooters.
Wide open spaces for J&J to work.

Man, that happened out of nowhere! When did he visit?

 

[johnnybravo]

I have never trusted Hubbs for bb info.

 

[MrVol]

Do we like Will Barton now?

If someone is leaving please let it be someone of small importance. Maybe they really thought they weren't getting Barton and starting pursing Johnson.

They probably heard Hubbs say Barton to A&M and went to plan B

Good pick up for the Vols.

@DanWolken: Interesting that last fall Cuonzo Martin blasted the graduate transfer rule, then picks up Antonio Barton today SEC coaches waver on graduate transfer eligibility rule » govolsxtra.com Mobile

You can think a rule is stupid but still recognize that you have to use it if you want to build a good team. See: Calipari's use of one-and-dones

I'm eagerly awaiting a post from Rob.

I said I would cancel my account and I stand by that.

Lewis said it too or I wouldn't have believed it

 

[Tux]

Good shooter, good defender. Looking at his numbers, his assist to turnover ratio needs to improve and will under Cuonzo Martin's tutelage.

The pieces are in place for a big 2013-2014 season.

 

[volnpowell]

Anyone know when he visited?

Absolutely. What did he expect Martin not to pursue Barton? What a joke.

Finally get good news, and look what some will post.:loco:

According to VQ never

That's what I'm thinking. Because Barton had been on the hush hush about where he was going. It will be interesting to see. I don't see where Johnson will fit now.

lol:

Vols, BUTCH!

Barton is VFL

I don't plan on renewing mine either. No use in paying $100 to get info that is copied and pasted on here two minutes later. And VQ's basketball coverage has never been anything special. RL never said anything of substance on Barton.

I'm not bashing martin. I'm stoked we got Barton.

Surprised that was not From Will or West of 990, they love to remind us of what are expectations should be. (in football)

Back up to McRae on his off nights.
Or 4 guard set to change pace.
I could see it.

You have to beg for information on basketball...Lewis kept saying we weren't getting Barton basically an swore he never visited...sorry, but I feel pretty confident he was on campus some point last week.

That's what we have Hubbs for no? I honestly see maybe redshirting Thompson bringing in Johnson and someone transferring I.e. Q or Reese. That gives us depth for this year and next. Then you can prepare Thompson to back up/split minutes with Johnson his sophomore year instead of throwing him to the wolves his sophomore year.

 

[SJAVol32]

Also say we get Lyle next year with Johnson coming this year. You have

Johnson/Thompson
Hubbs/Cornish
Lyle/Richardson that's six quality guards and no big drop off.

Welcome to BIG ORANGE country Antonio Barton! I see a dancing team this year!
