Title: Grant Williams is staying in the draft...

...and Bone seems likely to do so as well, since he crushed it at the combine. New era begins next season- time for Barnes to earn that big paycheck.

Happy for them all....I've read AS will be drafted higher than Grant? Last I saw last night they were showing Bone late 2nd round?

I see we just got a 7'1" transfer from AZ St. Hope he can play immediately.

I don't think he's expected to be cleared to play this year, but ICBW.

Obviously I don't fault GW a bit but I sure was hoping he'd come back for another year. Has Tennessee ever had 3 players drafted in one class? I don't think so but, again, ICBW.

Even if he's eligible, it still looks like we won't have a single frontcourt player with a minute of college game experience. Not ideal.

BTW, when is the last time we had a legit 7 footer? Steve Hamer?

I saw a scroll on ESPN that Memphis State has the number 1 ranked class going so far for this recruiting cycle.. The rivalry is going to heat up.  Barnes better step up his recruiting.
