IrishBBall Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Listening to SportsTalk and they are getting on the UT staff for not being visible at the state tournament. Any one see any UT staff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REBELRON Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 If they weren't there they aren't doing their job. I remember going to State Tourney in 2002 and 2003 and seeing Buzz Peterson there. In 2005 when Willie Kemp and Wayne Chism were playing for Bolivar I saw John Caliperi(Memphis coach then) and Kevin Stallings. In 1996 I saw Kevin Oneill there when CJ Black,Tony Harris and Marquis Mayben were playing. Oneill made an impression on me that day. He was everywhere shaking hands like a politician. He made sure Tony Harris saw him. When Tony Harris Memphis East team was coming out of the tunnel Kevin Oneill was standing there making sure Tony Harris saw him.

MidstateHoops Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Barnes is from NC and he has always recruited the Carolinas well, even at Texas. I believe he had 3 freshman from NC commit after he took the job. The two TN-native freshman Bone & Bowden were committed prior to Barnes accepting the job. Not sure why there were not more colleges visible considering Memphis East is loaded, Southwind had a few, Oakland I think has a few younger guys with looks, OR's athleticism and so on.
