He wanted to play more . He did not have the skill set to play the four so he would have to share minutes with JP who Barnes seems committed to and Jonas if Jonas stayed. Unless Barnes was totally committed to playing two bigs for the majority of the time , he saw a limited opportunity.
He has been being recruited for a while by schools closer to home .
Tennessee might not have a been a cultural fit.
As far as the team I hate to see him go but I personally would rather lose him than either JP or Jonas . Jonas had some real bad games but he made 2nd team all SEC for a reason . He is a much better rim protector than Tobe and better offensively . He is very vulnerable against certain types but frankly JP ought to be able to compensate .
We are just in a new era that where there will be more and more turnover . Finding guys that are all SEC level players that stay four or even three years will become more and more difficult . We have been fortunate that we have had a culture that could be passed down. I don’t know if that will even be possible after the ZZ, Mashack group leaves
