"The meeting didn't go like we thought it was going to go with Coach Barnes," Renard Owens said by phone. "Tariq spoke to him and asked him some specific questions about the team, and the direction, and, basically, he didn't give him any answers toward where he sees him. He (Barnes) said he's going to bring some other players in. The main concern was are we going to get recruited over. He didn't really answer that. He didn't recruit Tariq and stuff. He walked in that meeting feeling the uncertainty and had the same uncertainty coming out."

Adding to the uncertainty, the father said, was not knowing if Tennessee assistant coaches Chris Shumate and Al Pinkins will be retained by Barnes.

"My concern is him getting recruited over and not being a part of the plan going forward," Renard Owens said.

I'm ready for an athletic big again. Goodluck Owens.

Have you heard on the S&C coach coming with Barnes?

Hate it for Tariq but it sounds like he would ride the pine here. Good for the program but still painful for him and his family. I wish him well. I do think he has some potential but we need bigger guys in a bad way.
