Hey everyone! Been reading these boards for many, many years and always enjoy everyone's input. I am originally from Maryville, and all family still live there, but I have lived outside Peoria, IL for a long time now. Anyway, I remember Cuonzo back from high school at East St Louis Lincoln. Back when ESL was winning 3 straight IHSA titles. LaPhonso Ellis got all the hype, but CM is a winner! He will have UT playing harder, more physical basketball than you have ever seen at TB Arena. He had an outstanding career at Purdue playing alongside Glen "Big Dog" Robinson, and his coaching style mirrors Gene Keady. If it wasn't UT, he would end up at Mizzou or Purdue.
It won't take long, and you will all be praising Cuonzo Martin for what he brings to Tennessee!! Go Vols!
