Tennessee basketball assistant coach was asked about Chris Ledlum’s decision to transfer from Tennessee last week.
His answer:
“Yeah, it was surprising. It caught us all off guard. Something that we weren’t expecting, obviously, coming off of the knee surgery that he was going through so it kind of caught us off guard a little bit. How does it affect us? Obviously he’s a great player. We wish him nothing but the best. I hope he finds what he is looking for, finds happiness. As far as it goes with us, it’s been our mentality ever since I’ve been here, since coach (Barnes) has been here, next man up. We’re really excited about JP Estrella’s development. Where he is going. Obviously Tobe has taken a major jump. Josiah is looking great. He’s healthy. Probably the first healthy summer he’s had in a long time. We’re just next man up moving forward, wish him the best.”
