Rob, first of all I am a huge fan of Barnes is doing here. I think he has done an great job of bringing in his type of guys and is proving his method of getting the right fit, developing guys to build the foundation of the program is working, however it is evident that Tennessee is in on more higher profile type guys in the 19 and 20 class than before.
My questions are this
1. Has the FBI probe sniffing around some of the dirty recruiting at other programs benefited a coach like Barnes that has a clean past and why some of those guys are listening to Tennessee more? Is it the fact that Barnes is having success here allowing Tennessee to become a factor with these guys now?
2. Will Harris give Tennessee time until Simmons decides before making his decision? Do you see a transfer leaving Tennessee that would open up the possibility for both?
3. If Harris doesn’t wait and signs elsewhere and Simmons goes into the draft does Barnes keep that scholarship in his back pocket and to have 4 scholarships for next years class?
