No mention of a Tn visit yet. Specifically said UF on 8/1, followed by Illinois then Memphis. Memphis is going to get back in this just like the did with Nichols. Maybe Tn gets one of the last two visits.

I've personally never thought we had a legitimate chance, but Rob Lewis constantly mentioned/s black and saying that he thinks we'll get a visit. I do think Memphis will come back into the picture, but in the end I think he likely ends up at UF.

at this point i really don't care anymore, Black seems to have new a favorite each time he's interviewed. I wouldn't be shocked if he were to re-commit to Baylor.

Thanks for the info. Keep sayin I'm gonna get a Scout sub. but still havent. I think it will be us and Uconn that get his last two visits. Agree w/ BTO that he will likely end up at FL tho.

He has seemed a bit of a drama queen from day 1, which mixed with being from Memphis should be a red flag.

Personally, unless the staf knows something, I would stop wasting my time on black and focus on others with legitimate interest.

Black has talent, but I'd rather focus all our attention Looney/London instead of this guy. He will burn you.

Black supposedly taking family with him on UOV to UF this week. May just be vacationing....or may be on a mission. UF insiders seem to think it's down to UF and IU. With family going and Chiozza there, got to be a heavy, heavy FL-lean at this point.

This thread may be overcome by events come Monday or so.

Not sure what that's supoosed to mean. I don't think any Tennessee fans really ever felt like we were really in it. On the other hand Memphis fans seemed to really think they were back in it, and the Memphis staff was spending ALOT of time on Black the past month or so.

Memphis starting spending time on Black again once Kirby joined the staff. The family really likes him. I think that's what got Memphis back in the picture. I still think he will sign with FL. Just my opinion. He could commit as early as this weekend. I personally wouldn't mind seeing him off the table so everyone can move on.

Lol I agree with this 100%

I've been saying Florida too, but I'm just ready for him to commit wherever so our staff will stop wasting their time.

Exactly. I really don't care to seem him in Memphis or Knoxville. The hype reminds me of Adonis Thomas coming out of high school. He'll be a primadona where ever he goes.

Has he done things in the past to make you think this? Or is it based off of his recruiting?

Just curious, thought you might know his or something.?

So close to spelling "prima donna" correctly the first time. So close.

I would also like to hear why. The kid is taking his time figuring out where he wants to go. I don't see how that makes him a drama queen.

Black's UF visit was a little underwhelming; no commit and no UF follow-on buzz. Tend to agree with bwings opinion on Black. Could easily be next headcase for Pastner should he commit.

FWIW, Memphis CA writer J Martin just dropped a CB for Leron Black to Illinois.

Is there any tangible reason you guys are saying this? Just blind speculation?

Thomas was never a prima donna. He was a top honor student who had academic offers from Yale and Harvard. He was a first class kid from a great family. We actually had a shot at him until the stuff hit the fan.

Honor student too!? Impressive. Hard for me to think of a kid who publically said his faith and his future coaches faith will be his ultimate deciding factor, can be a prima donna.

This is why I think we have a shot with this kid. We can say what we want about CCM, but if I'm a parent the number of coaches I would trust to look after and be an example for my kid, could fit on one hand. IMO

So when you post, it's an opinion; when the Memphis guys post, it's blind speculation?

Personally, don't like some of his interview responses; I get a "me first" feeling. He will fit in fine at some schools where he is The Big Dog. If he is truly a "team first" guy, ready for him to be a Tiger today. Also, at this point in the recruiting process, I'm undecided on the "Memphis kid" syndrome; Black doesn't strike me as a Nichols, King, M. Crawford "anything-for-the-team" type. Plenty of time to change my mind if he commits. JMBS

If I were to go as far as calling a kid a prima donna, I would at least explain myself.

I know this is asking a lot, but care to offer any examples of his me first attitude? I ask because everything I've seen doesn't scream "me me me," it's typical recruit talk.

You're profiling "Memphis posters"; I never said "prima donna".

If I run across pertinent quotes, I'll post. Otherwise, you've got your opinion; I've got my blind speculations.

You agreed with the guy that said prima Donna, you said he has a me first attitude, and you didn't provide any evidence.

I'm not even saying you're wrong or I'm right; I'm just asking why you think that. I understand if you can't find the source right now brahctopus.
