No he didn't, da. You stated, implicitly, that he was a public school kid. He, currently, is not. And people don't just magically change from one to the other. Take it from someone who boarded at a private school for high school and went to a public for elementary.

Nichols dad sure doesn't sound too positive about CCM's system and how his son would fit in. Hopefully CCM can convince him he will utilize Nichols talent and fit his system around him.

How come all our threads get high jacked by Memphis fans. For a team that supposedly can't hold a candle to there school we sure get a bunch hanging out??? :loco:

Confusing post is confusing. I'll assume either you take exception with his use of the word "implicitly", or you don't know the definition.

You can state something (say it "explicitly") or you can imply something (say it "implicitly"). You cannot state something implicitly. Explicit and implicit are antonyms.

The interest in the others I'd presume would be a backup plan...even you should understand that.QUOTE]

--- Again, Nichols was not coming to UM.

EVERYBODY got the news; while Josh did not stop the process, UM continued recruiting BIGS.
Regarding recuitment of Bigs: Nichols is not considered a BE-type BIG. Memphis will sign one/two BIGs, now or later, with or w/o Nichols. From the UM standpoint, Nichols is the backup plan due primarily to his recent increased interest starting just before Madness and right after you gave out the "secret commitment".

Of course you won't believe that, but past events and the recent timeline of activities will give it creditability. Even your buddy Quinn's article today casts some doubt on the situation. Everyone in Memphis is thrilled to have the second chance @ AN.

--- Don't see AN making his decision til November per his dad's statement. Going to Auburn out of respect for his old coach, and then the family powwows. If we get Devin Williams and it sours AN on UM in the meantime, that's his decision. Or, in the words of BTO, "we'll take BOTH!!!" Either way, AN sees UM in a different light NOW; we had "no chance", now we do!!! Good Luck!

What exactly do you mean by this? BTO --- don't lie to your faithful

You include this religious cult type reference in almost every post. Is there something your trying to say or is it just more of your obvious trolling and thus has no real meaning at all.

My point is John Martin singularly does not represent the term "Memphis Media" in BTO's quote. BTO is stretching the truth, misrepresenting facts, lying, etc., to embellish Nichols' perceived historical importance in order to "supersize" the "get" if he commits to UT.

"faithful" and "minions" are not necessarily biblical words, religious cult type references (funny!). They may be in the eyes of the beholder (you). Troll? why would I troll? Said repeatedly, I come here for recruiting info from BTO.

And how do we not know you are doing the same to scale back the importance of the commitment for Tennessee as to make Memphis not look so bad?

I don't agree with BTO's original point, but it goes both ways.

I didn't say biblical. I said religious. And just as I suspected. Nothing but a troll.

Edit: I looked it up for you. http://i.word.com/idictionary/faithful
Seems you might want to quit using the word if you don't fully understand its meaning.

Your phrase "make Memphis not look so bad" is telling for both sides. UT (mostly BTO) is trying to make it into the "Second Coming" (sorry, Zansdad). Since early August, UM knew it would be very difficult to sign Nichols. Hubbs/UM never clicked from Day 1, it seems. That's two down, and King, J.Johnson, Markel Crawford, and J3 to go. And that's pretty much how it has played out.

With 6 top-notch recruits, UM was only going to take a few (most believe). Pastner kept recruiting, but Nichols really took himself out. UT was in a good position to get a Memphis kid; looks like it will be Nichols or none (Hubbs excluded, obviously). That's why it's WAY more important for UT to land Nichols than UM to worry about missing on him. BTO's "Memphis Media" can cry over Nichols; not me.

To summarize, I'm not trying "to scale back the importance of the commitment for Tennessee"; it is important to UT. Just don't like the way BTO was trying to market it to this board's posters. The only ones in Memphis that will be whining are that core group that feels EVERY good Memphis kid MUST go to UM. Relative to the above group, there are two I'm glad we "whiffed" on. 'nuff said.

plural faithful or faithfuls: one who is faithful; especially: a loyal follower, member, or fan
<party faithfuls>

Sounds exactly like BTO's faithful followers!

And, if it was true, why all the UM interest in other bigs? Nichols was history going somewhere else; our priority was King/Iverson/two real BIGS. Snatched King away from UT at the last second per BTO/followers.

Pat yourself on the back when/if you get Nichols. Just don't build it up like it was dog-eat-dog and UT won. Ha!

just go back to that awful tigers website were they all say they dont want nichols anyways and that if he goes to UT he goes into obscurity.atleast we are not totally downgrading memphis like there fans are UT we realize memphis is pretty good team and that they have had a strangle hold on conference usa naia.

Honestly, I'm not interested in debating the English language, and your attempt to do so seems like a poor, half-witted attempt to deflect attention from the fact that you indeed misrepresented the ACTUAL truth in an effort to strengthen your argument, implicitly or explicitly.
