Tennessee Vols Basketball Recruiting

[CNeagleVolFan]

Sounds like we would really like to get in on this guy. Seems like a solid prospect, and if he is anything like Zeigler he will play with a chip on his shoulder after being so underrated.

If I’m “budgeting” then I’d splurge on a PG this year and “save” on this guy.

 

[ColinS]

People only do that bc there’s a lot of people on here that act like the slightest criticism of Barnes is equal to someone attacking him with a gun on the street.

Now this is spot on. There is one guy on here that might even stalk you and cut your throat from behind if he hears you say you don't like the color of Barnes's tie.

Then there are the SAME clowns that jump on every opportunity to take their cheap shots at Barnes. Now they’re offended if posters describe them as trolls while they troll.

It sounds like message boards aren't for you. The VolForLife facebook group might be more your scene.

You came to that conclusion based on 2 sentences? Keep on driving by, Princess. You’re adding zilch.

Given your approach to how people should post on message board, I've likely added more in 230 messages than you have in 11 years and 37k messages. Lol.

Seriously, check out the VFL facebook group. Its a great place for people who can't handle other people who aren't pumping sunshine.

I handle the dolts with ease. Move along, Princess. You’re a lightweight playing your little game from your mommie’s basement.

I bet you thought you were going to sound cool when you were typing this out. Lol.

[ManchesterVol03]

There goes Powell.

Haven’t you heard? You can’t criticize Barnes or you’re a troll. This isn’t really even a message board it’s more of just a Vols new site where every one has to think the exact same.

I think it’s a worse board in the off-season to be honest, which makes sense. Early season or right before the season I feel like there’s good quality stuff. I feel like golfballs team rankings posts have been the most interesting to look at other than the Key commitment and I could have done without the TennesseeBasketballGuru fun

But to get back on topic, come on down Phillips and Awaka

There goes Powell.

Did he enter the portal or post something on Instagram/Twitter?

Yeah he entered the portal. Opens up another spot for us to fill

 

[CornbreadVol]

What?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

 

[TrippieRedd]

not mad

 

[Kosmalski]

Thunder is probably the best and most informed poster here

 

[ClasslessVol]

Hmm spot for another big now?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Good lord. We have 4 current open roster spots AFTER accounting for Edwards and Key. This might be the most significant roster turnover in.....I don't know, but a long time. That is 7 players from last year's roster now gone.

I'm sure many people won't care about Powell, but I think he still had a lot of potential, and losing half your roster is never a "fun" thing to go through.

Hopefully he pulls his name out.

 

[VolOnthePlains]

Good players are entering the portal from all over the country and all we’ve lost is BHH, Bailey, Powell, and Diboundje. I think we should count ourselves lucky. Other schools are losing multiple starters

Last year also.

Pons
Keon
Springer
Pember
Gaines
Anosike
Walker

Is 7 the new normal for turnover?

I think we improved so maybe it’ll work again

Well, I might be in the minority, but I would have preferred to not lose BHH and Powell. I do think both of them have a lot of talent that with time Barnes could hopefully have teased out and turned them into stars.

Besides....there is never a guarantee you're going to upgrade on any spot that opens up. We might upgrade! But, it's an unknown.
