Predicting that a guy who's never been on a show will win a title is wishful thinking. No matter how much talent you have, a lot of things have to fall into place for you to win on the show. Just ask Patrick Healey, Jr.
I predict that Tommy Jones will break through this year; he has a ton of talent, and he's due. He's been to the show several times, and has come close. This is the year he gets his first title.
Barnes may or may not be cocky and arrogant; don't know, never met the man. What I do know is that he probably has the most effective release in the game, and a tremendous amount of pure talent. Win or lose, he'll be near the top for years to come.
