I’m not a Shaka fan. But maybe, just maybe, it is the environment in Austin that is the real problem! Not Shaka or Barnes. I know Texas lost one of the classiest human beings on earth when Barnes left. I don’t care what anyone says… the Big 12 suffered a big loss when Barnes left. @drgnslayr Texas basketball doesn’t get support from the UT administration nor from the public, but look at what Barnes is doing at Tennessee - WOW. However, when Shaka moves on from UT, don’t look for anything out of him to compare to Barnes. We’re talking apples and oranges (no reference to TX) here, and the oranges leave a lot to be desired.
