IMO, Pearl not going anywhere. If he does, Hamilton's going with him. Thats why Pearl is still here because if Mike fires him it's like firing himself.

But the IF senario, if Harris leaves it will be to go Pro. No way he transfers and sits a year. Hopson may go pro anyways the way he's playing lately. I think Golden and McRae stay because playing time will be right in their lap and they don't won't to go sit out a year elsewhere.

they'll sit out a year only if they're not released. I'm afraid if they get that option, they'll be gone.

even if they're released they still sit out for transferring. The release allows them to be on scholarship at the new school

Hopson and Harris are the only two that may leave regardless of the BP situation. I don't think the BP decision will sway them either way really. The possible NBA lockout will have a bigger impact on their decisions IMO

harris is a good ball player but he hasn't shown that he can play in the pros.

Again!!! Pearl is likely to stay at U.T. The reason is because there would not be a good coach to take this job with us having a year or so of sanctions. Any hire, after Pearl is fired will be a Wade Houston type of coach. At this moment, the best coach to pull us out of the ditch is the same coach that drove us in the ditch. Plain and simple!!!!
Again!!! Hamilton is not going to get fired UNLESS he really screws up again. He is not a good A.D., nor a popular A.D. but he can sure raise money for the University.
Have you not noticed all of the money that he has raised????
If Pearl continues to win and not screw up again, he will remain here long term. If he starts to lose or messes up again, everyones patience will be pushed to the limit and he will have to go.
If Hamilton continues to raise money and not screw up royaly, he will remain here. Once he screws up again, he will be gone!!!!!

If there was a one year postseason ban Tatum, Hopson, and Woolridge would be able to transfer without sitting out. Hopson will go pro anyway though.

I like Bruce very much; however, I'm about 50-50 at this point. If he's fired, I agree we won't be able to get a very good coach with the school sanctions we will get. Although I think they would not be as severe than if he stays. On the flip side, if he stays and weathers the storm, at best I still see us being down for 3 - 4 years compared to what we've had the past 5/6 years since he's been here. He has already suffered a huge loss of respect and reputation in the media, and in the profession. Add sanctions, 1 or 2 years suspension, probation, loss of scholarships, etc is bad enough. Beside that, he's going to be at a huge disadvantage in recruiting on going. How are parents going to feel about their sons signing with the coach that LIED to the AA. You can only imagine the major negative recruiting fodder other schools will use against him. He'll always carry this badge of dishonor the rest of his career, and so will UT if he remains.

So either way, UT is going to likely be down for several years. I just cannot find any positives here. Trust me, I am NOT a nega-Vol. I've faithfully rooted for the Vols since I knew what a Vol was, and that's close to 55 years ago. At first I was leaning all the way for Bruce. At this point, I leaning slightly toward cleaning house, suffer for a few years, and salvage what ever reputation UT can. UT is bigger than Hamilton and Pearl combined, and UT is by far the most important part to me. I guess I'm just about burned out by the whole mess. When you love UT like I do, it hurts so badly to see them drug through the mud along with coach Pearl.

I love Woolridge he better not go no where, no homo! McRae will be great for us the next year or two. IMO

Woolridge was close to quitting basketball after last season, I wouldn't be surprised to see it after this season either.
