When you are the third highest paid college basketball coach in the land, you better step your game up. I’m not suggesting Rick Barnes is slacking, but the way the UCLA situation went down isn’t the best of looks. One thing is for sure, the Tennessee basketball team better win and win big to satisfy fans.
Barnes has shown that he can develop kids that weren’t the highest rated coming out of high school and win games. But, no one can deny it helps to have talent on the roster.
The Vols only have one commit in the 2020 class so far, but they are in on some big names.
