Not saying your wrong but there is no trusted source in this pathetic city if Memphis. Im sorry Ive lived here all my life and realized at a young age that mem is a one way in no way out kinda place. I hate to be like this but my hatred for tiger high is right up there with Alabama. Saying this I heard a trusted source here in Memphis that says he's all vol. So go to hell with your tigers you shouldn't even be aloud on VN. Its amazing you Memphis grads can even read

Now that is one you don't see everyday.

I also never said the source was in Memphis.

Nick wouldn't schedule a Memphis Madness visit, then turn around two days later and commit somewhere else without giving the coaching staff that has been recruiting him the longest the last shot.

The kid was never going 380 miles away when his family could get off work at 5:30 and be at the arena by 6 to watch him play. Nothing Martin could do about that. Tennessee should thank the Kings that they didn't get suckered into a long, drawn out, time-consuming battle when the final result was going to be the same no matter what. In the end, this one wasn't that close.

Not every kid wants to play games or make the recruiting process all about them and how much attention they can receive.

Ok guys I maybe crazy but I had a dream last night that Nick announced to play for the Vols and he quoted the reason for that is Coach Martin and how he was a great guy and he was very comfortable to be around. I know that is probably not going to happen but one can dream.

Coast2CoastHoops which is a recruiting service, has been reporting that they've confirmed nick king to Memphis. If he flops and goes UT, it'll shock the recruiting world.

However, we can definitely dream!

Let me just add my sore loser post...

The Memphis fans already have their excuse for if/when we get Nichols...Sarwar is training him and apparently he's funneling players to UT and Pastner wants nothing to do with Sarwar. Thats the consensus on te Tiger boards. Awesome.

K I feel better now haha

Espn #28 Nick King becomes a Memphis Tiger. The SF brings versatility as he can play from different spots on the floor.Tough kid /Huge get!

Well, I guess that's a done deal. No big shocker but a nice pick up for Memphis, one that Coach Pastner really had to get I think.

Are you saying that doesn't have anything to do with it? Honest question.

IMO, it has absolutely nothing to possibly the slightest of slightests to do with it.

I mean what are you suggesting Sarwar is providing Nichols with that'd push him to UT? That's the part that doesn't make sense to me, what can Sarwar give to Nichols that's gonna push him to UT, that his family couldn't?

Isn't he a UofM grad?

I remember his name being mentioned a bunch and the Memphis fans calling him dirty with stokes. I'm just trying to understand, what could he be gaining/providing by pushing kids to UT???

A chance to be somebody, get recognition when the kid goes pro, be his pro trainer, and/or be the cool kid for once instead of always being picked on.

Yeah man...it's over. King to UT was a LONG shot and the only tad bit of hope I had was when his parents came to Knoxville. I wanted him more than any other recruit but good luck to him.

And nothing you said is reason for pushing them to UT, which was my question.

Sure he can say, he Nichols I'll train you, but remember me when you go pro...now what does he gain by pushing them to UTK?

He's from Memphis graduated from UofM, so it really makes no sense why y'all are saying this, what does he have to gain? He can still be the popular old dude amongst high schoolers by pushing them to any school, so why UTK, that's what I'm asking?
