It's official. Lanier commits to Tennessee.

[LakesiteVol]

BOOM!!!!

Awesome news. Huge amount of potential for next year's team. Barnes has done a phenomenal job rebuilding an Elite 8 team that lost 4 of 5 starters.

Really looking forward to see how this group comes together.

He was always coming to Tennessee if he didn’t go pro. I guess Kentucky had an outside shot (I don’t think this is true but whatever). But I believe both they and byu were leverage plays. Trilly obviously has legit sources. But sometimes sources give you info that’s true and sometimes they have ulterior motives. But glad he’s officially a Vol! Can’t wait to see how this team gels.

KA-BOOM! Damn, I got 4 out of 5 transfers on my wish list.

It’s hilarious reading obvious trolls on another board.

Mmm like acorn yes

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

"Old School" Barnes has adapted to the transfer/NIL era quite easily

He can coach here till he says he's done

 

[BigBadVol]

Do you guys finally believe that I am “The Source?” The all knowing. I’m now 4/4 soon to be 5/5. It’s hard to be humble fellas.

I call bullsh!t, you said we were NOT getting him until yesterday, when it was more than less a done deal

His agent gave him some options to look at but the visits confirmed what he already knew, Barnes/Vols are his best path forward.

HUGE

Great news. Hope he has a great yr for TN amd make a run for April.

I give Brent Hubbs credit for his weekly info yet keeping this under wrap so the young man could enjoy the process.

Cat twitter summary:
1. We never wanted him
2. UT is mediocre even with him
3. UK defenders will shut him down

And my personal favorite:

4. He wasn't good enough for the NBA to take, so there's no way he is good enough to play at Kentucky

[Col_Cathcart]

Nah. I believe and I'm the last man standing in negaville. It's over. We won.

I don’t know… Did he sign yet?

 

[Ace]

Richard West called it 2 days early yet again.

That’s Richard G West

 

[GoodTimeVol]

ZZ might average 10 assists a game

 

[chuckiepoo]

That’s Richard G West

Dick, to those that know him.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Hate to say it, but if he can play decent defense, I suspect Igor starts over Mashack.

Igor is the 4. Shack is the 3. Both start over Dubar, who is a 3/4.

All for one and one for all. Vols, bishes.
