Nichols, the Saints standout junior, finished with 22 and added 15 rebounds to lead Briarcrest to a 58-54 victory that gave them the regular-season title in Division 2-AA West and a first-round postseason bye.

If you don't mind to keep it updated who will be making it to Murfreesboro I'd like to get out there to watch some of the Memphis teams, like briarcrest.

TIA

I think we get Nichols and he will be outstanding. Things are looking better every day.

We've got a very good chance. I'm hoping duke brings in another PF before Nichols decides, that'll help out chances.

They do have the 3rd plumlee on the bench as a frosh this year too so...

Good call, I completely blanked on them being private. Would you mind keeping us updated on if they make it there and when the games will be. Also, the public schools as well as to who makes it to Murfreesboro.

I'd really like to go watch the championship games if some of our recruits are in them.

TIA

This is an interesting twist. Nichols doesn't seem to fit Pitino's system, and I can't remember the last time Pitino went after a Memphis guy. Interesting timing to say the least.

 

[Shaun1985]

hmmm. I don't see Nichols playing for Pitino so that probably means he goes there because these recruiting battles just get plain weird sometimes.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Still feel very good both his parents are UT Alum, and that they come to UT frequently to attend games.

Austin was added to the USA Elite National Team that will travel to Germanybin April.

Congratulations Austin hope to see you in orange soon.

He also received a call today from the North Carolina coaching staff. FWIW

Calipari was at Nichols practice yesterday

Boo

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Why is that not surprising?

I really don't think he'd consider Kentucky too much with all things considered, but I could be dead wrong.

Calipari was at Nichols practice yesterday

Calipari wanted Tobias and Jarnell too, look how that turned out =)

Calipari wanted Tobias and Jarnell too, look how that turned out =)

He actually didn't really pursue either, but ok.

 

[Stoked]

Yeah sure he didn't. Memphis wasn't going hard after Jarnell either, right?

 

[MemphisCanes]

Yeah sure he didn't. Memphis wasn't going hard after Jarnell either, right?

Not since November, but yes, we wanted him.

 

[golfballs]

lol

 

[golfballs]

"didn't want him anyway"

"can't wait for tarik black to meet him over the middle"

 

[AlexHay13]

Not since November, but yes, we wanted him.

He never seemed to come after to Tobias hard, but he definitely made a run at stokes.

You going to tell me idkwtf I am talking about in regards to Nichols again?

Or do you want to go on another bs rant about a supposed fight, fx jaw and hospital stay for Chievous?

 

[MemphisCanes]

He never seemed to come after to Tobias hard, but he definitely made a run at stokes.

Cal? Not really. If you mean by a "run at Stokes" that he reached out to him to gauge interest, then maybe.

But then you can say Cal has made a run at about 75 players in the 2012 class, which is disengenuous. Cal is/was after bigger fish in the 2012 class, and is holding scholarships for Nerlens Noel and Bazz Mohammed. An undersized, 270 lb 4 man doesn't necessarily fir into Cal's scheme.

What are you talking about re: Nichols?

As for the fight, seems like everything was pretty much confirmed, right down to Cheivous' mysterious disappearance for 3-4 weeks. But like I said, it was handled internally and everything seems to be ok. I never made a big deal of it, nor insenuated it was.
