NBA caliber recruits have a pretty consistent habit of going to play for guys with a history of putting guys in the NBA. How many of those guys has Bruce produced in his coaching career?

Nope, that seems to be the norm on the other end of the state...

That is very impressive....since LSU and Florida have each been to a final four, and Florida 2 National Titles....That just shows you that Bruce knows how to win, he just has gotten unlucky down the stretch.

You people wanting him fired are idiots....we wouldn't find anybody better, and we would be giving away a man who works extremely hard for this university on the court, with the players, and in the community. Think about what you guys are saying, this isn't Fulmer were talking about, Pearl is still on top of his game.

Tell us again how good DePaul's players are.

I never in my life said Verdell Jones was 1 and done. I said the coaches at Indiana think he will go pro and be successful in 2-3 years.

And if you want to put me on Blast for saying Depaul has had talent in years past, but not coached properly.....Should I bring up that you stated Providence had zero chance of making the tourny, and that they would barely make the NIT or something along those lines.....Now we both look stupid. Although you did correctly predict LSU and SC's success this season so props.

Who do you think we could get after we FIRE CBP in Knoxville? After the success he has had, regardless of how "bad his coaching is", don't you think coaches might be scared of the recent standards we put on our program? I doubt we could get anybody better at this point.

Also Verdell is getting 10ppg, and 4 assist per game in the Big 10 for a terrible team. He has been promised his starting spot next year, so my original statement of having Verdell over West isn't looking too bad at this point is it?

Remind me on Selection Sunday where Providence is at. It will be encapsulated in 3 letters. N...I...T.

If you've been told Tom Crean promised anyone anything, you're talking to flat out liars.

you don't know anything about Tom Crean.

I'm sorry Hat, but I am going to take the words of a Division 1 athlete, who routinely talks to his head coach over your opinion on the matter.

I could care less. I guarantee I've known Tom Crean a Hell of a lot longer than Verdell Jones has. Crean has promised him squat.

You know him on a Personal Level? If so I'd somewhat respect your opinion on the matter, if not I could care less what you have to say. Other than this silly argument I take what you have to say very seriously, and you are one of the smartest people on this board....but something about Verdell makes you extremely hard headed and tough to reason with.

could be the fact that Crean demands maximum effort for 40 minutes and isn't afraid to put his player on his ass if he's not getting that.

This team has too many problems to get out of the 2nd round and maybe the first of the tournament. This team's personality isn't the same as last year's and honestly it will take this team a year or two to get closer to what we had last year. One thing is for sure though, if we can't find players who can hit free throws on a regular basis we are doomed until we do.

Hat, I'm curious as to why you like Gillispie so much better than Pearl. Both have been responsible for regular-season turnarounds, but neither has gotten past the Sweet Sixteen in the tourney. Is it just the different styles of play you see in their teams, or what?

1. BCG's style of play is one much more likely to attain continual success than the ratball Pearl believes in so fervently.
2. I know BCG a little bit and think very highly of him. I know Bruce Pearl a little bit and wouldn't push him out of the way of a moving bus.

Get off the high horse. We have next to nothing to show for it. Visit a final 4 and minds will change.

Considering that Tennessee has never been to the Elite Eight... let's get there first before expecting Final Fours.

I'm petitioning for a sweet 16 and Elite Eight bye, since our style of play isn't conducive to winning at those levels.

What are you talking about? Look at all the Final Fours Tom Davis and Paul Westhead reached.
