Edey says Rick Barnes looked over him

[Dadof2Vols]

He Should be happy. If Rick would have chosen him to wear orange, he would have fouled out in 5 minutes every game. He would have never got away wearing Orange with all those fouls I mean he drew 15 but only fouled once.

I will be curious to see how D.J. Burns matches up
against him.

Unless Burns gets the sympathy whistle, for being the media’s tournament darling, Edy will eat him up. I’m curious to see how that game is officiated? Who makes the better story, the Cinderella or the the powerhouse?

No doubt. Burns is giving up 7 inches and literally can’t get off the ground. Even if he boxes Edey out, the refs never call over the back on him.

 

[volfeeva]

Not the time or place to say that. You don’t rub things in when you win. That is the last major thing he will do in his life. Bye Shrek…can’t wait to laugh at your pathetic NBA career. Basketball school that goes to final fours once every 44 years. Clowns.

I'm not sure Lurch doesn't have a place in the NBA. The Warriors are going to need a hacker replacement for Draymond Green soon and he could fill that spot.

LMAO. NC State is not beating Purdue.

Yeah, I didn't think NC State would beat that incredible Houston Cougar team decades ago. But they did. Anything is possible.

 

[Ratvol]

LMAO. NC State is not beating Purdue.

Duke said the same thing.

 

[VolinMichigan]

Right or wrong, it was classless.

What? Why? He even said Rick Barnes was a great coach. There were lots of coaches that looked over him. He was a three star prospect coming out of high school. Seems like a reasonable thing to use as motivation.

 

[TrippieRedd]

we are doomed

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Duke said the same thing.

Edey is going to absolutely destroy NCST

 

[GAVol]

Not necessarily classless… but not necessarily articulate either.

 

[TrippieRedd]

OH GOD EVEN WORSE


College basketball about to transition into "who's got the biggest guy, lob into the post and draw fouls"

 

[cobbwebb0710]

These 7’ guys are hard to evaluate, kinda like a 330 lb O-lineman.
They are a roll of the dice, for the most part.
With that said...I’m not crazy about the Gators getting an 8 footer!!

I doubt he'll be on the board (NBA Draft) by the time the Warriors have a selection. Likely could end up with the Wizards or Hornets. I get your point though.

I am soft guy

We can tell

Apparently there are a tribes in Africa, who live their lives on stilts, for whatever reason??
I’m curious how the NCAA would view this?
These guys would look good in orange and white!

Recruit 5 of them and we're drawing fouls for days!!!

One stands under the basket, one on the perimeter, one at half court, one at the perimeter, one under the other basket. EASY WINS

We could start four 12 footers and ZZ at the point!

put ZZ on stilts, you'll never see a more wicked crossover

 

[jaguinn5]

Good. Don’t want this kind of player on the Vols. They will not win it all

That kind of player? He’s right. Most coaches probably didn’t want him. Barnes probably didn’t want him. He wouldn’t have fit Barnes’ style of practice or his style of basketball. What is wrong with recognizing how far he has exceeded expectations?

 

[walkenvol]

Burns won’t be pushed around

Awaka pushed his fat arse around when we beat them this season!

Sometimes better to keep your mouth shut and say nothing, have a little humiltiy. You don't have to call anybody out by name like he did.

 

[madbamahater]

Like his confidence. Something lots of kids these days lack. That's killer instinct type attitude. That's the kind of attitude championships have, so we will see how it plays out.

 

[ftsandersvol]

That’s because Barnes looks at a player’s character as well as his skill level.

 

[Vol4lif3]

I don't have a lot of out-of-conference hate to run with, but between the Purdue bowl heist and then this walking mound of easily offended foul calls I'm happy to give Purdue an evaluation period in the "I'll check to see if you lost" category.

We have the Purdue curse we should have went to the elite eight but they called that phantom foul on us kills me to this day he went straight up
