He's got a lot of work to do before he plays much no matter who he's playing for.

The kid has skills.  I think that he could be really good here if he would hang around with the right attitude.

That said, he supposedly made demands and the staff was not compliant.  A coach cannot allow any player to put stipulations on their playing time (if that is what he wanted) and Rick Barnes is definitely not going to allow that imo.

From reading a little about the situation, it seems that BHH has people in his ear who are giving him advice about his future.  That advice isn't Tennessee friendly, I guess.

Probably more upside than anyone on the team, but he is definitely not there yet.  Hate to see him go, but if he thinks his work is done to be a complete player, I wish him well in proving it elsewhere if he sees that as the answer.

If that is true, he will never workout here. Shame.

One thing about Barnes.... you don't work hard as he expects you don't play much. I have no idea if true but have heard and read it said that his family expected him to play more going forward and Barnes doesn't take kindly to threats?

Well dams, but I read he is testing the waters and may stay. I guess we will see.

Rob knows but has chosen not to air the laundry but I suspect he and/or his family made demands, which is NOT the way to influence Retirement Rick :dunno:

Nice summation. I give Barnes grief, but I salute him for not letting families run the program.

Is that a term he used in his farewell twitter or something?  That's kind of funny actually.  He may or may not intend it to be offensive.  If he did, then I agree with you, but I wouldn't assume that.
