Not a problem. This is a message board and none of us are perfect, just saying.

Some on here think they are the basketball god that they may not always be right, but they are never wrong even after being pointed out that they are wrong.

Yes I did. I have no problem with media communicating with recruits. That's what they do. You aren't them. You are a maniacal fan of the program and CM. Are you not able to understand the difference?

So if Austin Price quit working for VQ, you'd have a major issue if he still talked a couple times to a couple of guys he conversed with while working for VQ?

I see what you're saying, but just don't agree.

You are right Bto. Nothing wrong with it. Keep doing it. Its not weird in the least and is perfectly normal. Comparing yourself to Austin Price is a perfect comparison as well.
Just don't be surprised one day if a kids dad or mom tracks you down and tells you to gtf away from their son.

Guess what, try this. Text yourself, save your number as Michael Jordan. Now go back and delete the double texts to look like an actually conversation...

Guess what, you just had a conversation with MJ.

Point being, a screen shot showing their name proves nothing, and it's not about proving it to me. I don't really care whether you believe me or not, there's a reason I knew Cofer was committing before anyone else, same for Larry Austin. And I also know exactly where we stand with Peyton Allen, so believe me or not, doesn't matter to me.

I'm not arguing that you can't fake it. I'm saying a screen shot doesn't give away a number. I couldn't tell you my wife's number cause I simply see her name every day. Your arguments change to fit your agenda. You've gotta be Cuonzo as much as you run to his rescue. Didn't expect a D1 coach to be so sensitive to message board criticism of his performance.

Thanks for posting BTO. I want Pearl back but as long as Martin is the coach I will support him. I think our fans saw the level of success under Pearl and expected some of the same (at least making the tournament IMO). I will give Martin a pass for year's one and two, but this year is just pathetic. This will probably be the most talented team he will have in his tenure (not matter how long it is). Just think how bad we will be next year.

Typical reaction. Like I said, hs and college coaches hate hangers on like you. Older non athletes latching onto recruits and trying to be involved with their lives. Guys like you have been around for a long time. And honestly, all of them think its ok. You are no different.

Don't worry, I think he's made the whole thing up. Very, very sad. If it's not made up, then you are right... it's creepy. I hope it's just made up sunshine pumping for the coach he worships though.

...and Coach Pearl is the best thing for Big Orange Hoops. Bruce's teams ran through walls for him. Cuonzo's teams are as laid back as he is. When the game is on the line, no one ever makes a winning play. I still support them, but I've grown to expect late-game letdowns.

You think wayyyyy too highly of yourself.

1. I'm a former athlete, just don't feel the need to tell everyone about my great HS days like you. Must be a sad life if you have to constantly revert back to the trophys you won in high school lol.

2. Nobody is trying to be involved in anyone's life, but funny coming from the guy who got involved with the Berry's and swore they were going to greyshirt or some other moronic idea.

This post is gonna fall on deaf ears, or blind eyes, but I feel like posting it and really don't care the backlash I'll undoubtedly get from some. As some of you know, I know a couple of the guys in the 2014 class, and we keep in touch...this was part of a text I just received.







All 3 of those quotes are from different members of the 2014 class. I just thought I would remind people that recruits and commits do read these boards, and do pay attention. They're well aware of the struggles, but they're determined to come in and compete. All 4 members of this class are the type to fight you for 40 minutes, and who hate to lose more than anything.

Like I said, I know some of you will bash and feel free to do so, but I just figured I would let some of you know how the current commits feel.

Is that the 48th rank class you speak of? Also, high expectations and poor results merits criticism, regardless of school or sport. I find no redeeming quality in his coaching or recruiting.

1. You are a liar. You didn't play anything. That's why you are sniffing teenagers jocks and texting them. Because they are what you never were. Like I said. I've seen guys like you going back to early 80's.
2. I never tried to contact the Berry's. Never would.

Keep digging. You look like a damn fool. Again. Its like a daily occurence.

Yes it's me that looks like a fool, while you claim to know my life history, as if that's not creepy or anything lol.

These recruits better get a thicker skin if they choose to still come to TN if CCM fails to make the tourney this year. We are barely in now and most of the fanbase wants CCM fired today. If we are filling out an NIT bracket this year, then the 10K fans that will be at the games next year will be screaming BBB like you have never heard.

You can be in denial if you want........but if your program is a losing program the fans will always let you know. It does not matter what team it is....Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss, etc.

Man, can you imagine the criticism if we were Kentucky or Duke and we had this coach with the same exact past two and a half years? The stuff Vol fans are saying now is child's play compared to the latter scenario.

I can't believe I missed the beginning of this thread. Any chance to ruffle bto's feathers is a great time.

That being said, what color panties did their mothers have on?

I want to know how someone has the time to post 30k times in a little over a year? That's a lot of VN'ing going on. I guess Cuonzo has had a lot to defend the last few years. Hence why the post count is so high and the product on the court hasn't improved.
