Great news!

 

[IndyCat1995]

Well UT, it was fun. Looking forward to things going back to normal

 

[GYERater]

One leaves they all leave

 

[CatfanMike47]

They have a 5 star pg coming in so I doubt they’ll be hurting to bad!

They lost Bone, Admiral, and Grant. They will be way down

 

[CatfanMike47]

They lost Bone, Admiral, and Grant. They will be way down

They’ll not be as good but, way down is a bit much! They’ll still make the tournament!

 

[Drcats2025]

Just making the tournament and being a top 5 team all year is a huge difference, no matter how you cut it.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

One E8 will have to do for awhile TN. Well, its been enough for you guys for over 100 years so what's another 5-10 years LOL.

 

[The_Catfather]

No wonder Barnes was trying like hell to get to UCLA.

 

[katwest]

They lost the entire starting 5, it's going to take a lot more than what they have coming in to even sniff what they had.

Remember, he still could come back if he isn't drafted. I hope he goes at #60.

Only if he was invited to the combine

Look at the teeth on Rocky Chops in your photo. Yikes.

The SEC tournament

 

[tnlongdrvr]

According to wnml radio station, they will the one of the haves from now on. They will have a perennial top 10 team.

 

[Kentuckiddy]

I hope they don’t win a single game.

 

[jrpross_rivals]

Looks like they’re boned.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

That was a lot of **** talk for one middling year.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

They also lost a reserve in Alexander.. a 7 and 7 type of guy.

Going to be tough to replace that talent. Only works with top recruiting classes otherwise this type of exodus usually leaves a team down for not just next year, but a few seasons.

 

[caneintally]

LSU and UF will be the competition not UT anymore. LSU got way more back then I thought. .

Bone will definitely be drafted. His agility times, Vertical and other combine numbers were off the charts. That alone will get him drafted.

 

[VikingCat21]

I think Bone can be a decent NBA PG. Glad he's staying in the draft and further weakening UT's team for next year.

The rule change by the NCAA that allows an undrafted player to return to college has not gone into effect. The NCAA stated it will only go into effect if the NBA changes their rule on teams being allowed to call up any player that went undrafted at any point the following season. That would eliminate the possibility of a player going undrafted, returning to school, then being picked up by an NBA team in the middle of the college basketball season.

 

[FrankUnderwood]

This news pleases me.

 

[FrankUnderwood]

No he can’t, that rule isn’t really “in effect” yet and is dependent on the NBA

 

[SophiesDad]

LSU and UF will be the competition not UT anymore. LSU got way more back then I thought. .

Yeah, including their cheatin’ *** coach

 

[drbubba]

Thanks for the clarification. Rick Barnes has withdrawn Bone's eligibility from further consideration.

 

[MNantz]

Hopefully the gutless NCAA will hit L$U with a strong *** penalty , including some probation !

 

[ukfan03]

You can’t blame him for staying in the draft. He did himself a lot of good going through the process. Some NBA team will get a good one.

 

[dvillecatfan]

Mays, Smart, Taylor, and Williams coming back for LSU. Add in Days and thats 5 of the top 8 back for the Tigers.

 

[Pickle_Rick]

LSU paying top dollar apparently.

 

[sosoblue]

I think he will do well. I actually like his game. Jordan speed and shooting ability will translate well in the NBA. Hell if Fred VanvVeet from Witchita State can make it to the NBA and play in the NBA finals than I believe that Jordan Bone will be fine.

 

[smooth as butter]

Bone was the best PG in the Sec he will get drafted in the 2nd round

 

[rabidcatfan]

No Bone, no flopper, no Schofield equals UT returning to their rightful place in the middle of the pack of the SEC East.

Are you aware there are alternative forms of punctuation other than the exclamation point?

Definitely agree!! Looking forward to kickin’ their butt in Knoxville next year!!!

Is it? They won't make the elite 8 either way.

Good point.
