I’m worried it’s BHH

It sounds like it.

Portal or G league. Either would be a mistake but curious as to which direction

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Yes

UGH. Guess someones family got in his ear again.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Didn’t expect this much roster turnover this off-season, but I guess it’s just the nature of the sport now. Sad. Hate losing BHH.

 

[JRVOL11]

smh, gotta get phillips now

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

How do we know it’s not Powell?

hmm never know

 

[Jack Burton]

Hope not. Really wanted to see him after an offseason in the program.

 

[Yeiser10]

Powell wasn’t really rumored to be transferring as much as he was going over seas. Sounds like BHH. Not good if true. He has so much potential

 

[cncchris33]

How do we know it’s not Powell?

We don't. There has just always been more smoke around BHH and it makes more sense given that Powell has already used his transfer. And the fact that BTO specifically said transfer (not departure) just leads more credence to BHH. Rumors of Powell had been around the idea of contemplating a pro deal in Australia more than transferring.

BHH just doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body. I love the tools the kid has, but hope he ultimately understands the drive it takes to be truly successful.

It’s a situation I won’t worry too much about. If he does leave then it’s probably for the best anyway. Just unfortunate

yeah, kind of sounds like a selfish situation also

 

[JRVOL11]

bet he goes to auburn if he does transfer. bobby maze and bruce connection

Agreed - he clearly has some ability but he wasn’t a key contributor last year. If he doesn’t have the motivation and discipline to put in the work to be great then maybe another place will suit him better.

If it is BHH, and he indeed moves on, I'd love to see us take a chance on Kenneth Lofton Jr. He is the most like Grant Williams I've seen since Grant Williams left Tennessee. He's undersized and a little portly at 6-7, 275, but he definitely holds his own, moves extremely well for his size, has great hands around the basket, even wears #2 for La Tech. He is infinitely more aggressive with the ball in the paint than BHH ever showed to be. He's going up into traffic rather than fading away with an 8-10 ft jumper. Needs to improve his FT shooting (67%) for as many fouls as he draws, but I think Barnes has shown a plan to use a guy of his size and stature to win games and impro e their ability.

If he would give the same effort every game that he gave against AU then he could be a force. I hope it is not him.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I could see it being BHH too because of Phillips. He wants more minutes, but with all the post bodies we have theres not enough to go around.

I had similar thought, and timing of both was a bit coincidental too, but would expect Tennessee to look there and also turn up the heat on Malik Reneau.

would be perfect replacement

So, definitely BHH ?

Hope it is not BHH.

Guessing his mom is in his ear about leaving pretty hard?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Lofton is from Texas, and his family is still there…his father was a military man which we have seen work out well with Barnes before, so if he’s not dead set on playing closer to home I could definitely see some mutual interest there.

 

[CNeagleVolFan]

Lofton Jr is good. He’s the type of guy you don’t expect to be very good by just looking at him, but got a decent mid range game and he’s strong in the post. I’m disappointed about BHH but I think Aidoo has a higher ceiling JMO. He’s got good touch on his shot and can probably develop a 3pt shooting game. Next year a rotation of ON, Aidoo, and Plavsic isn’t terrible. Also, hopefully Phillips and JJJ playing some 4 too. Would like to get another post though for sure.
