Title: DJ Burns enters transfer portal
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on July 02, 2019, 01:46:39 EDT
So basically, our frontcourt next year is going to consist of:

1. John Fulkerson

That's it.

Might as well write next season off and start looking forward to 20-21.

Not sure we can tell....Burns played in 1 (one) game as a Vol and that was a exhibition game. Based on what I've read on more than one basketball board this was a UT decision. Also read today was the last day a players scholarship could not be renewed? IMO it's hard to believe a player would leave on his on accord this late in the process with options limited.

The front court will be Plavsic, Kent, Fulkerson, Olivier Nkamhoua, and maybe Pember. Johnson, James, Bowden, and Turner are the back court. I expected Walker & Burns to contribute. Not looking good.

Barnes cashed his chips in just in time.  He deserves to be paid for the great performance the last two years, but third highest in the country is overkill. 

Hoping he earns it...

Well don't give up. I left Pons out of the rotation  :toothless:

Pember isn't a post player.

Pember isn't a post player.

He is a bean pole but isn't he like 6'9"? Recruiting info said he was a PF  :patriot:

He's not a power anything at this point.  Basically played a swing position at Bearden.

Don't get me wrong - very athletic and a solid player, but just not physical in any sense of the word.
