The Official #18 Tennessee vs. Ole Miss Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, SEC Network

And again. What has he done in March. Ideas about the NBA

He loses in March because he yells too much? Holy ****, that’s a new one. I can’t discuss this anymore. Have fun with that discussion.

 

[The Dog]

Strange take…that’s literally not the reason even 1 of those guys transferred? Also, what the heck is Corey Walker doing at UAB to make you think he’d be getting minutes here?

Nothing, but UTs best freshmen posts over the last few years have transferred. Maybe, I am just afraid UT is going to waste BHH and the . If either one transfers and balls out, maybe you will agree with me. Doubt it. Hope it's a moot point, but it worries me, right now.

 

[southgatevol]

How many years has Pearl been at a P5 level vs Barnes.

14 of the 18?

 

[VolGee4]

Auburn didn't either the AA suspended Pearl 2 games. It's over with

Auburn self-imposed a post season ban last year before the season started. Try again.

 

[walkenvol]

I dont know if they did or not. An upperclassmen sure, but you think Barnes shows himself yelling at kids to recruits? Grinding them down like he does? Come on now even those that think they can take things always can't. Even the tough ones who can take it it eventually wears on them.
Back to the original point though. Yelling and going in on players is either going to make them check out or make them hesitant. They're going to be out there thinking instead of playing. We've seen that with both KC and Powell so far they both come in play 100% and now they're hesitating on things they weren't just a few weeks ago. They're trying too hard not to make a mistake because they know they'll get pulled. That's bad coaching

Your experience must be in Upward sports because I don’t know how any basketball coach can communicate with his team in a contested game with 16K fans screaming without the coach yelling.

Yeah there's totally a need to yell 2 inches from someone, this takes the cake

And we have another nut hugger

We have an idiot.

Mommy Kay. Then what are Barnes short comings?

Maybe they will but you saying those 3 guys transferred because they didn’t play enough was 100% incorrect. Barnes wanted Walker and Burns to both be here, that decision was out of his hands, he was fine with Walker leaving.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

How many years has Pearl been at a P5 level vs Barnes.

Why hasn’t Pearl spent more time at the P5 level?

 

[southgatevol]

Why hasn’t Pearl spent more time at the P5 level?

Because he lost a recruiting battle? Got his feelings hurt? Did some unscrupulous things?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Why hasn’t Pearl spent more time at the P5 level?

Because he's 6 years younger and didn't get a break to a P5 job until later in his career.

 

[southgatevol]

Why didn't he get a break?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Because he's 6 years younger and didn't get a break to a P5 job until later in his career.

You’d think if he was such a great coach he’d have gotten that opportunity much sooner, ya know?

I never said that, I know one or 2 of them loved the wacky weed (trust me, I understand), but the point is : UTs best potential post players have transferred 3 years in a row. If it happens again, it becomes a pattern, imo

 

[SGMVols]

Pearl should’ve been banned for life over the Deon Thomas fiasco.

Definitely showed his character. Or lack of....

That’s literally exactly what you said…”I think he doesn't play his young post players enough, which has led to 3 transfers in 3 years, D. Walker, Burns and C. Walker.”

 

[The Dog]

Well, I'm high, but gosh darn, he didn't play Corey Walker or DJ Burns, a minute. So, technically, I'm right on 2 of 3 players

 

[The Dog]

Yes, Burns was going to redshirt, anyway

 

[The Dog]

Do you want to lose BHH and Aidoo, because right now, if something doesn't change and that's on them, mostly but not completely, we are going to

 

[bleedingTNorange]

You said them not playing is what led to them transferring, and that’s literally not the case for any of them.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Do you want to lose BHH and Aidoo, because right now, if something doesn't change and that's on them, mostly but not completely, we are going to

I disagree…BHH maybe, but wouldn’t say that’s a given, but I know Aidoo and his family understand very well how far mono set him back and they have no issues at all with his current spot on the team.

Why did Corey Walker transfer, then ? Burns was the pothead, didn't hear that with CW. I could have missed it, tho
