Uncalled for. He doesn’t know Tennessee’s personnel situation at the time he was being recruited. Plus he doesn’t know Barnes’ philosophy. Purdue has been known for working through its big men under Painter. Take your dub and don’t bash the losing coach.

So an enterprising reporter took the time to look into Edey's comment about Barnes and the origins of it. Well done. atozsports.com/nashville/rick…
@cdortch Sorry Chris but he didn’t have time to name every other P5 coach during the presser. The kid had been holding this in for 4 years, has never let it fly until yesterday. Cut him some slack…
@cdortch yeah, i think he is perfectly entitled to say what he said. He wasnt bashing barnes anyway.-
@cdortch He was referring to the game plan that Coach Barnes had…he was saying that he wasn’t focused on enough
@cdortch I don't know this kid so I'm not here trying to categorize him after one press conference. That said, this is a bad look. Gonna purposefully go after one of the most respected people in CMB is going to backfire every time.
@cdortch Yeah and he might be telling on himself too. Personality fit and character is really important to Barnes and staff. Maybe that has something to do with why they “looked over” him. Who knows. Because Rick Barnes is too classy to speak on that publicly.
