Cameron Carr Transferring

[UTK]

At least BHH finished the season. This is about as selfish as you can get. If someone goes down Carr is going to have to play and he is still leaving. If this transfer isn't due to grades or expulsion from school, I don't get why anyone would want Carr on their team.

Put a walk on in before him.

Maybe Barnes can find a replacement in the portal - could use a player just for depth.

I don’t think that transfers can come in mid season and be immediately eligible to play.

I’m getting worried about Barnes. I doubt that he’s enjoying the challenge of this NCAA s*** show.

He might could leverage this environment into a huge raise though. Imagine the LotM Bashers if he gets $10 million/year.

Watched him on the field of 68 podcast from the other day and he didn’t look like someone who isn’t enjoying what he does at all.

 

[DMcVol]

I wouldn’t be shocked if Barnes adds a player. Number 1 in the country with immediate playing time available isn’t something that happens.

It would be great but a) mid-term guys are rare and b) a Stokes or Santi that can step right in is even rarer.

Pretty low character moment Mr. Carr!

Leave you're team in middle of season?? Wow. #1 ranked team at that.

Cannot say louder "Me first" than that. Not a fan anymore. Goodbye.

P.S. I'd get new advisors if I were you.

There’s a downside to bringing in better players?

I'm just saying the kid was a top 10 SG prospect and top 50 recruit he came in and did what he was supposed to do and got recruited over by 23 year olds. Honestly thought he was going to transfer last summer.

Definitely someone in his ear.
Probably a leech…..

His dad maybe? NBA teams don't usually draft players riding the bench.

He is on the bench because he is hurt. He would be playing if healthy so not sure what your point is.

2 things can be true.

you can have liked the old ways better. And also recognize it was 100% unethical and illegal

exactly. also, both of these things can be true: the new way is better for players but worse for fans

I put this decision solely on Cam Carr, but the fallout is going to land on Barnes to a degree. He can't control the injuries to Estrella and Boswell, but he left two scholarships unused which could haunt us if we suffer another injury. No reason not to use at least one of those on a warm body.

Makes me wonder if we ran out of budget…

This all day imo. We may have enough to stay up to snuff, but I have been at least a little concerned about this well before now. I'm sure we will make the best with what we have; I just hope we can avoid potential disaster.

Makes me wonder if there’s a mid season international transfer coming?

No one can say you're wrong, but that sounds like some wishful thinking to me.

He averaged 10 mpg in 4 games before he got hurt. That's hardly meaningful minutes.

Sounds to me (and looks to me) like somebody wants to be a big shot on a big team - but not one coached by Rick Barnes.

Or.....he might just want to play

Sounds like a skill/effort issue on his end if he's not getting the minutes he wants on the #1 team in the country.

Ok then transfer before the season or at the end of the season. How many players who play decent minutes transfer from number one team in country?

I'm sure his injury had some effect on his decision. Could be he slid down the depth chart even further and the writing was on the wall. Why waste time.

Or were throwing NIL at these high scoring transfers and leaving the young guys with no minutes. Something to monitor going forward

Right so should Estrella transfer too? Lots of athletes get injuries. I'm just saying hes demonstrating a selfish/quitter mentality leaving in the middle of the season for not any good reason.

 

[Voljayton]

Man, just heard the announcer during tonight's game say he was transferring. Immediately dipped on the game thread to come see what's up. Crazy! Can't believe he'd bail midseason.
