More Chris Jones news

When Memphis fans have a more logical take on something than our fans do, it makes me question many, many things.

Believe me, it would be much different if they were recruiting him.

I'm not gonna lie, part of the reason I want CJ so bad is to see him match up against Joe Jackson. I think Jackson would get the best of him, but it could be a helluva show.

+1 to all posters on this page, the most logical posts I have seen in days. I am tired of seeing the stupid posters saying we don't need this kid, he's immature, duh he's a kid in high school. We have no idea what's going on behind the schene. People act like this kid is pulling a Terrell Pryor or something. He doesn't seem like a glory hound to me. Just a kid who was recruited by pearl and then left with a coach nobody has ever heard of except for a few. Not bashing Martin.

all this board need is mindless drones that have no opinions,,they just agree with everything every coach,AD and anyone at the university does.Its all good we are UT!!

There is absolutely no question that we need Chris Jones badly.

However, mindless drones are not limited to those who agree with every decision a coach or AD makes. There are also mindless drones who disagree with every decision a coach or AD makes. I'm no Mike Hamilton fan, but every decision he makes is not wrong. Even if he were trying to make 100% bad decisions, he's not smart enough to pull it off.

Get your academics in order and come over to Knoxville. The PG position is flat-out waiting to be filled by kid with your talents.

For all who thought CM was stupid, uncaring, disorganized or whatever, you need to take a look at yourselves and how it is possible to conclude what you do. He has played this just about right.

I disagree, it seems to me that his first priority should have been to recruit. The fact that he was more interested in getting to the tournament does not bode well for UT.

You are joking right? He has a staff to fill which is vitally important. And perhaps mos importantly, it was a dead period in which he is allowed one phone call WHICH HE MADE to Jones.

Not to bash CM for the Jones situation, but I'm not sure that the no-contact applies to kids that have already signed with the school.

My understanding is that you are considered a prospective student/athlete until you are enrolled at the university; therefore, the same rules apply.

Thus, the reason Harris did not talk to Ware last Tuesday.

If everyone on here was smart... than some of us wouldn't look so brilliant. Look, the dull in life makes the shiny stuff that much more vibrant if ya feel me... I think you stand under me if you don't understand me...

Yeah, you never get your words turned around. Here's a gem you just laid in Zasnow's thread.

"We have five 4* players who could start next year. I don't think that should be not having anything to start next year with."

What the hell does that line even mean?

subparagraph b is of slight interest here.. all i can find so far on a signed guy.. deals with signed athletes participating in summer bb events.. but one can infer (dangerous with the ncaa i know) that some contact by mail is allowable... dont know when ncaa thinks summer begins.. is jones playing in any type of league now?

13.1.7.2.2 Additional Restrictions – Men’s and Women’s Basketball - In men's and women's basketball, the following additional restrictions shall apply:

(a) In men's basketball, contact shall not be made with a prospective student-athlete at any basketball event during the academic year that is not part of a prospective student-athlete's normal high school, preparatory school or two-year college season, or any event that is not approved, sanctioned, sponsored or conducted by the applicable state high school or two-year college association, National Federation of State High School Associations or the National Junior College Athletic Association.
(b) In men's basketball, all communication with a prospective student-athlete (including a prospective student-athlete who has signed a National Letter of Intent), the prospective student-athlete's relatives or legal guardians, the prospective student-athlete's coach or any individual associated with the prospective student-athlete as a result of the prospective student-athlete's participation in basketball, directly or indirectly, is prohibited during the time period in which the prospective student-athlete is participating in a summer certified event. However, printed materials (e.g., letters, recruiting brochures, questionnaires) may be sent via regular mail (see Bylaw 13.4.1) to a prospective student-athlete's home while the prospective student-athlete is participating in a summer certified event. An institutional coaching staff member may communicate at an event site with a prospective student-athlete who has signed a National Letter of Intent only if the prospective student-athlete is not participating in the event and is not associated with any team participating in the event (e.g., travels to the event at own expenses not under the authority of a coach at any time, does not participate in team functions).

I only want kids that have bled orange from birth, and have never even considered going to another school.

The kid must be vfl, and if they attempt to visit another school they are done.
