Barber was in a lot of trouble with the administration for a good while before his exit. It never was a Gill or Barber choice/argument.
Frankly, I am surprised that the kid stuck around as long as he did. Never expected him to begin the school year.
As far as the D1 level is concerned, Jay would at best have been a "one trick pony" as a 3 point shooter. When he committed, it was never intended he be on scholarship, since he would have had free tuition as the child of a Liberty employee. His dad's "resignation" changed all that, and RMK could have simply said he did not have a scholarship for him, but instead he juggled things around to give him one. I think I can say with some confidence that there was no plan to renew it for another year. If he had stayed with the team, he would not have seen any meaningful minutes. In addition to all the scholarship players, walkon Brody Hicks has the same shooting skills and is stronger, more athletic and a better defender. He would have been ahead of Jay at the off guard as well as Cabell and Cuffee.
