This guy was a UK lock for a long time.
SEC is going to be no joke next season

UT lands Huntley-Hatfield
- Thread starter RoyKent
- Start date
Tennessee had two lottery picks this year and were a 5 seed. They had a team for the ages with Grant Williams and blew it.
They may whip our *** - Barnes kind of owns Cal at the moment - but I can’t get behind the UT hype train.

Also they picked up this dude the other day.
But yeah UT isn’t doing anything worth a damn...choke Scum.
If I could buy Tennessee basketball stock for what it is worth, and sell it for what their fans think it is worth, I'd be a very rich man.
Here's my summary I came up with once when talking to a Vol about the difference in the programs. And it still works years later:
In 2010, Kentucky lost in the Elite Eight and it was a disappointing defeat, though the next year UK was in the Final Four and in two years won a Championship.
In 2010, Tennessee lost in the Elite Eight also -- and it was and remains the greatest year in the program's history.

He looked like a must have for UNCheat.
UT getting Justin Powell, Aidoo and H-H ain't bad. That said, they've still never made it to a Final Four.
UT has been recruiting very well but needs more pieces than just 1 or 2 guys.
He was originally from Clarksville Tn. He was a UT lean for a long time. He was falling in the rankings
Kentucky has blown like four or five 7+ point leads in the past 5 years. If not for that, this stupid “Barnes owns Cal” narrative would be dead.
cal pulled his offer. concerns about work ethic.
I am glad they are losing springer and Johnson to the draft Haha
Kansas fans love Tennessee -- That Elite Eight banner UT hangs makes the Jailhawks' Helms Bread Wrappers seem almost justifiable.
When H-H left IMG for another prep and Maze's name came up that's when UK went in another direction.
Is there really a hype train tho? They’re simply better than us right now and overall in a better position and a program.
Uhh lol? What does that have to do with the OP?
I mean I get it but this makes absolutely no sense in regards to the topic at hand. None.
Tennessee is going to finish with the #2 class in 2021. All this talk and no one mentions Kennedy Chandler, the #1 PG. Plus Tennessee returns Jordan-James, Vescovi, possibly Fulkerson, and Victor Bailey. And AU transfer Jordan Powell.
Chandler
Aidoo
Huntley-Hatfield
Mashack
JJJ
Vescovi
Bailey
Powell
Fulkerson (?)
All while replacing their entire coaching staff other than Barnes.

I wonder if it was the Maze connection or something else? This went from hot to cold extremely fast if I recall.
He shoots the ball to well for us. I’m sure he will make us pay and use “work ethic” as motivation.
W/L is the only stat that matters at the end of the day.
sounds like a approach for how you get owned
He wanted to sit in on a in home visit or phone call between Cal and the player. Same thing Hardaway pulled and Cal wasn’t having none of that this time.
so Barnes is a better coach because he regularly gets down double digits to Cal.
sure, Jan.
Silky smooth. 24/7 Sports says he best compares to Julius Randle who Wildcat fans should remember well
we pulled his offer. you cant seriously be bragging about getting Kentucky's leftovers.....................can you?
Thats a good haul but I look at Powell, who everybody thought would go to UK, but UK won't offer and he winds up at UT. And I look at H-H, who UK offered early, and then suddenly UK went in a different direction and he goes to UT. And I ask myself why. You can criticize for Cal for some misses, but in virtually every case where UK quickly stopped recruiting a guy, or avoided a kid who fans thought UK should recruit, something shady was going down.
UK pulled his offer....didn't know that. Do you know why?
I'm gonna have to go back and read where I said Barnes is a better coach
Maybe you could help me find it.
Shady stuff goes on in every major recruitment in college basketball. That's the way it is.
Tennessee still needs a slasher but has done a great job of flipping the roster after last year's mess of a team.
It'll actually bring size to the party next year, which it hasn't had since Grant and Kyle Alexander left.

"Something shady"
"everybody thought would go to UK"
"UK went in a different direction"
"UK won't offer"
This message board is the only place that any of these things are said.
I still hate that we had to throw this one back. He was a UK lock for so long. You know he's going to bust his *** against us. I guess I get it though. Cal has been pretty solid at UK for picking the right guys off the court.
