Kid wants attention. All programs need good PR. Maximizing those isn't pointless to me. Glad you aren't in marketing!

The product on the floor is your marketing...Maybe we should hire Vince McMahon as BB coach... oh wait we just went through that with Pearl.

You win. All sport information departments should be fired throughout the country. Terrible idea to have one.

Didn't know our SID was coordinating with the Stokes' family to promote his announcement. As a matter of fact, I didn't know that was part of the SIDs duties.

CD says the only marketing a program needs is on the court or field. My statement was in response to that. If he feels that way maybe he can be an AD someday and save some money by firing all the Sports information department employees. It had nothing with an announcement being their responsibility.

Announcing Thursday, the 22nd at 6:30 p.m. (central) Bodes well for the Vols. Memphis has a game on ESPN2 that starts at 6 central.

Unusual amount of bickering. Well maybe not so the usual amount..... at no surprise

The VFL program is an example of an off the field program that is marketing....

I just think that some enjoy the game of taking things out of context....

If Stokes commits to UT on Monday......Then yes it will be a coordinated event with the UT SID. The decision has been made not sure who it is but he will have made it several days before because of deadline requirements....If it is UT he will have been enrolled at UT for 5 days before the official announcement....

I don't like the word splash but used it earlier...Stokes commitment to UT does signify and validate some things about the program and the Coach, Staff one being the direction it maybe headed.... A player of his caliber that feels that he can immediately contribute to the success and it does give this program some recognition on the front....

Recruiting is tough....for anybody.....and you have to sell yourself out sometimes....Stokes has been different and CCM has been too....It took Pearl several years to get a HARRIS type player here....

Take it for what it is worth, if he comes to UT it will be worth it....It will be good for him and for the program...He will be here for only a short status but it will be worth the period having him play here....With his success on the court it can be a catalyst to future recruits and to a quicker recovery.....
