2013 F Austin Nichols (Memphis Briarcrest)

I believe the term you used was "cherry picked" actually.

If you have a scout or rivals account then you can read this it was on one of those iirc, it may have actually been a video. As I said, maybe they cooled recently, but for awhile they were hard after him.

Quite convenient.
 
This is why Pastner needs to be very careful on which local kids he brings in. Kids with good families (like Adonis) are one thing. When you have an uncle of a player running down the steps to get physical with the S&C coach who was breaking up a near fight, then you have issues IMO.

Yup. Joe is going to turn into a great pg, but his family has turned Josh off of recruiting a bunch of Memphis kids. From the transfer drama to the relatives coming out of the stands, that stuff simply messes with team chemistry.
 
Quite convenient.

No comment that you indeed say pastner "chery picks"???

And I'm sorry that that's where I read this interview or saw it, I'm just relaying the message I could care less if you believe it or not. As I've said pastner was all over him in the beginning, he may have cooled recently and that could be the reason for them no longer being in his top schools. But to suggest that pastner didn't want him is asinine.

You used the term "cherry picks", not me.

I never suggested Pastner didn't want him. Again, those are your words.

I said that you 2 said pastner hand picks his guys basically and you said I've never said that, well you actually said "cherry picks" his own players. It's the same meaning my friend.

Go back to your original disagreement with me...I said Memphis was all over him in the beginning and definitely wanted him. You started asking for links to where this was said... Then when I told you what the interview said now you're saying tell me where I said memphis didn't want him.

This was my original statement you had an issue with

"If you're really going to act like pastner wasn't beating down hubbs door an begging for him then you don't have a clue." you replied what's this based on...


I told you what it's based on and now you're trying to turn it into something different. Maybe Memphis isn't on him anymore, I never suggeste they were if you read this quote I said "Pastner WASN'T beating down the door" that word is past tense, if I was referring to now then Id have said "Pastner ISN'T".

No, I didn't.

From the parts of that post that were understandable, it looks like you're simply making things up.

Hubbs' family scratched Memphis off because they thought Pastner wasn't paying enough attentiong to Robert. I don't know where you get that "Pastner was beating his door down" (other than a mystery article you read on Scout/Rivals which you conveniently can't post here.)

Just stick to the facts, ma'am.

You never said pastner cherry picks his players, or "will continue to cherry pick" his players????because I'm pretty sure I know exactly where this post is that you made that statement...

Yes that is the interview I read/heard, from hubbs mouth that Memphis was recruiting him very hard. As I said maybe that's changed I haven't stated otherwise but in the beginning pastner was on him hard. By the way I seem to remember you claiming Memphis as the leader for Hubbs within the last few months????

But please tell us all how UT isn't one of the top schools for Nichols? Or how chievous was/is indefinitely suspended and will be gone at years end???

We can't sign em all out of Memphis. More power to you. We'll continue to cherry pick our favorites, though, and Martin will have to deal with it. We're willing to deal with the loss of Stokes when we have a McD's AA coming in that plays the same sport. We're willing to deal with losing a player like Nichols when we'll wrap up King and maybe JW3.


If you'll read sentence 3 aloud please sir...

Go ahead though, you're a lawyer so I'm sure you'll use some sort of play on words here and finagle your way around this.

It's this thread, page 24, and I never said anything remotely close to "cherry picking players". You're making stuff up, again.

Memphis was a leader for Hubbs a long time ago. I'm not going through this again, just go back and read what I've written. He was high on Memphis a few months ago doesn't mean jack right now.

But please tell us all how UT isn't one of the top schools for Nichols? Or how chievous was/is indefinitely suspended and will be gone at years end??? The old change the subject routine. A staple of your repertoire.

Nice, going back and getting something from January or so.

Why don't you refer to the conversation we had last week.

Would you like to deny that you never said this some more?

Gimme a break man, that post was from a long time ago.

Several months (and over 7000 posts, in your case) have passed since then. I am somewhat flattered that you remember my posts from months ago, though.

Just man up and admit that you were wrong.

You're sitting in here blasting me telling me that im making stuff up saying you said that when Infact you did say this. The reason I remembered it was ecause it was an idiotic statement when you made it an stuck with me. Then I mention it today and you completely deny ever saying it telling me I'm making stuff up..only to be proven wrong.

Just admit you were wrong and that you did indeed make this idiotic statement.

Priceless.

How long ago was that? We had a completely different conversation about this in this very thread last week.

Do you just bring stuff like this up to take heat away from the fact that you don't really know too much about basketball recruiting? From Fabyon Harris to Charles Mitchell to the next guy, you obsess over these kids and when they go elsewhere or turn out not to even have an offer from UT, you look ridiculous.

I may have made some statements about who is leading at a given time for a given prospect, and they were true. But recruiting changes and a favorite one day isn't a favorite the next, necessarily.

The two commitments that I've predicted on this site I have predicted 100% correct though. Stokes and Duane Wilson.
 
Another classic diversion tactic from MC.

Who didn't have an offer that I said they did??? Harris did it was apparently rescinded though.

Please tell me more though about how Memphis leads for hubbs and jw3 and UT isn't a top 3 school for Nichols. Those were all real winners...

Better yet tell me more about chievous broken nose and jaw and how he was indefinitely suspended yet practicing with the team??? Oh and how he was going to be dismissed at the end of he year as well I believe you said.

I love how every Memphis recruit turns into a UT vs Memphis thread. Goes right along with death and taxes. :birgits_giggle:

At the time I said all of those things regarding the recruits they were true. Even someone with a menial grasp of sports such as yourself must understand that recruiting changes quickly.

As for Cheivous, he had his jaw fractured by Stokes in a physical practice, and Cheivous was taken to UT Hopsital that night. They were arguing over Memphis v. Chicago stuff and Stokes was repping Memphis, like a boss. Cheivous started the fight and was suspended indefinitely for it. He was not seen, even at basketball games, for several weeks after this fight, even VN posters confirmed this. Cheivous' suspension was lifted at some point and by the SEC tournament, roughly 3.5 weeks after the fight, he was practicing with the team again.

Now tell us all again how UT "has a chance to get to the tournament" or how Charles Mitchell is a UT lean (which you were corwing up to the time he signed with Maryland). The other UT fans on this site undertand that you go overboard with this stuff.

Do you have OCD? This is an honest question.

You mentioned Memphis as hubbs favorite about a month ago or so, that was false.

Actually no you're lying nobody on thi board confirmed that about chievous, they simple said I haven't seen him. Infact, one poster who's seats were in the LL endzone said he was present at every game. Also, a few posters who are students said they saw him that same week with no marks. This includes thesame student who informed me of Stokes wrist injury, before anyone else knew of it, so he has no reason to lie. Also, Youve been disproven multiple times bu the posters on here with medical backgrounds about the recovery and process Of this injury. It's funny you're the ONLY person saying your version is the true one.

UT did have a chance to make the tournament as an at large up until they lost to ole miss. Please continue saying they had no chance at an at large though, you're really cracking the rest of us up.

Also I don't remember saying Mitchell was a UT lean right up to his committment to Maryland. Care to post where I said that??? Although I'm sure you won't so I'm not sure why I even asked...


Just more BS you're spewing, yet you say I put words in your mouth. Pot calling the kettle black huh???

I will say I find it hysterical that me proving you wrong about your dumbass cherry picking comment has led to you wildly freaking out and typing paragraph after paragraph trying to make yourself feel better. Please continue,..

You are truly a lunatic.

Another classic response when once again you're proven wrong and have nothing else to say.

Just like how you never said chery picked, then we're proven wrong by your own quote, you can't admit you're wrong. It's ok I get it, it literally is impossible for you to admit you're wrong, it's cool bruh!

The word is CHERRY! And I probably said that 4 months ago in an infuriating argument with you. It's not how I feel now (although what I posted in there is still pretty accurate), but I said it at the time.

I gave you too much credit, assuming you were referring to the recruiting conversation on the topic of Pastner and city kids we had a few days ago, not at the turn of the new year. I won't credit you that in the future.

The reason you get under everyone's skin around here is your fixation on a given subject. First, you're gloating that UT was going to the tournament when it wasn't set in stone yet (and about which I tried to warn you). Then, it's the Nichols recruitment. You act like he's already signed an LOI with UT. Now, it's Hubbs and an obsession with him, even though his recruitment is wide open now and UT isn't the favorite.

Is it just because these are Memphis kids and this falls in line with your Memphis/Pastner obsession?

You're either high or have a serious reading comprehension problem:

1. I NEVER said UT was going to the tounament, if I did I'll wait for that link???

2. I've not said Nichols is a UT lock one single time, if I have I'll also wait on that link???

3. I've yet to be "obsessed" with hubbs recruitment and have not one time said that UT is his favorite. Once again I'll wait on that link???

Please don't respond until you can back up those 3 statements you made, because YOU are the one that apparently has the issue with putting word in people's mouths.

Side note: the reason you get on everyone's nerves is your constant false information...Nichols leaders, hubbs leaders, jw3 leaders, chievous situation etc etc etc you've posted more false info than true info bruh!
