You're right, I'm the one in denial...you think a kid wearing a Memphis shirt to Memphis basketball event means he's a Memphis lock is beyond laughable. I'm willing to bet you now hell be wearing tennessee clothing next week, and auburn the week after that. Just like he was wearing duke on his visit there.

And no it's not a packed house, just saw a pic...but go ahead and post your pic of this "packed house" please.

Did I say he was a lock? No I didn't. Apparently they don't teach reading comprehension skills there at UT. But I can tell you that he is NOT a lock to UT either.

And yes it's a near packed house. That pic you say was taken more than an hour ago.

Alright, man. Well, go watch your team and have fun. We'll see you back in this thread after he picks UT, I'm sure!

Ok, well see. I'm simply saying...this is a Memphis hype event, if you're shocked by...his family being there, the student section chanted his name, or that he's wearing a Memphis shirt...then you seriously need some help.

I could've told you all 3 of these things would occur, I'll also tell you it's likely there will be some video message from a former player much like Penny did to Adonis. None of that is a shock to me, Austin or his family.

You are so full of it and living in denial. FYI, Jarnell was there last year and wore no school affiliation whatsoever. And as for Memphis Madness, there's a near packed house as we move towards the main portion of the event.

If I were UT, I would be really concerned by him wearing a UM shirt. You can spin it any way you like but many are now saying the same thing.

If I were you I would come here and talk before he decides to take a trip 15 min down the road because "it popped in his head". You are so in the know!! Lol get a life

I'm going to leave with this. Nobody here (yes, I'm talking to you BTO) knows Austin or what his decision will be. But from all indications and from what is being said around Memphis, he was a strong UT lean as of Monday. But then someone ticked him off when they broke that he had given a silent to UT's staff. He publicly corrected this on twitter and made it clear that he had not. Then, just a few hours later, told the UM staff that he was postponing his Auburn visit to attend Memphis Madness. Then called Auburn to inform them of his delay plans. Austin is VERY good friends with Memphis alum and beat writer for the Memphis Commercial Appeal who has been quietly in Austin's ear about staying home. Also, there have been others around town in strong high places doing the same. All of this is apparently having an impact with his final decision.

Tonight was UM's night and last time to win him over. They rolled out the blue carpet so to speak for him and it's up to him now.

UT can waive football's history and women's basketball in his face but that's about it. The men have nothing to gloat about. Memphis on the other hand has an extremely prideful history of legends and NBA stars. Penny Hardaway to Derrick Rose. And tonight the UM revealed all of it's legends on one stage. And unless you saw it you have no clue that the plan was to show Austin firsthand at what it means to come back to your alma mater in your home town years later and be idolized as they all were. Once they leave town they are forgotten. Ask Tony Harris how that feels. Lmao

Bottom line, Austin may chose UT in the end. But it's not because he already has because he hasn't or his mom wouldn't be pulling on him to stay home. And if mom gets what she wants then he will be a Tiger. But if he does chose UT over Duke then he's not that smart of a kid after all and would be better fit for your type of program.

Nice try with that little dig on the 'way out'. Memphis gets some very high profile recruits that choose Memphis over some MUCH better schools. So by your logic, what does that say about your roster.

If you get off to tweets like that then recruiting will always leave you satisfied. These kids tweet what they feel at the moment and what kid wouldn't be impressed by the show Tiger High puts on? That doesn't mean he is going to end up there though. And the comment about "your type of program", at least our recruits take their own damn SAT tests. Make sure and let us know what Austin tweets when the recruits roll out to the Gold Club later tonight. I'm sure the girls there will be, as Austin would say, craaaazzzzyyyyy!

Just got in from Memphis Madness and Austin Nichols was there and he was with some of the other signed recruits, yes in blue but I really don't think that means anything. I really went to watch Adonis Thomas and to just enjoy some basketball with some friends.I have stated a few times that Nichols is a lock, but Memphis is trying very hard to get this young man and if it was up to his mom he would stay home. I still think after tonight he is still a Vol even though a lot of people here are saying after this past week a few things have changed, I just don't buy it. I guess we will see very shortly which way he goes, I still say he is a Vol... (JMO)

Sorry but that "Tiger High" crap can no longer be used with us moving to the HIGHEST rated basketball conference in the country, the Big East next season. Even without Syracuse, WVU and ND it's still much stronger 1-10 than the SEC or any other conference is. Face it, we;'re now on a higher playing level than UT is in basketball.

Tiger high will never go away. The Big East is on its way down. Enjoy the sinking ship your school has joined.
