admit that Martin's abilitly to market the program isn't an issue for him. I understand that he is opposite-Bruce in that area. Like any group of people that get accustomed to a good thing, once again I'm talking about how Bruce marketed BBall, any change that has uncertain results is not always embraced. I am not suprised by his ability to sign Stokes, but I'm not jumping up and down in jubilee. I will also say that we did have the fortunate luck of the draw with other top schools not having room to sign him either, but hey Martin did land him at UT regardless and my hat is off to him.

Once again, you were right and I was wrong when it came to how Zo's "Non-BruceLike" marketing would go. Now its up to Zo to land some more good recruits, then its up to the staff to coach them. That is how we can fairly grade Zo's coaching abilities.

Thanks, God Bless and GBO

It's all good. CCM doesn't have the marketing ability Bruce does, but good basketball will draw the fans regardless.

He did have an inherent advantage with Jarnell - whether he can translate that into more high level recruits will tell the tale of his tenure here.

Agreed. Just ready to see how Cuonzo is going to do as far as W/L with his players.

Just wondering, why does it make a difference what you thought that you have to apologize for in that your opinion matters....Did I miss something.....Are you someone, we should be aware of......Not to be brutal but did your opinion warrant a thread.....to justify it.....Don't think so....Coaches are coaches....not marketing managers if you want someone to market the program hire an information director....the program will market itself in due time.......

So Sudden Impact, you have never said anything to someon and then you were proven wrong? I don't care what you think of me. Why do you feel I have to be somebody or someone important to issue an apology? Your not a judge, jury or any authority figure over me. I'm not trying to be a dueche or anything. Yes, you have missed something to answer your question. There were a few threads in which me and UTCVol have butted heads and strongly fought for each end of the spectrum on various topics about Bruce compared to Cuonzo. But, back to my main part: I was proven wrong and after strong words against UTC, I have to admit he was right where I was wrong. Its called being humble and not being ignorant. After all, I'm glad I was wrong because we landed a Helluva recruit. Its an early Christmas present for the Vol Faithful. Sudden, Merry Christmas and have a great New Years. Hope its a good one for you guys on here. GBO.

thanks for the explanation and you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year....as long as you are a Vol fan I don't care.....but I will say this......It is a msg board and this has been a very tough year on all of us....It is going to get better but only after giving these coaches the latitude and space they need to operate....CDD and CCM are professionals doing the best they can....They knew what they were up against when they accepted the position.....Its going to take time and patience both programs were at ground zero and the old way of doing buisness is what caused the mess to begin with....Lets not go back to those days and wish for them either....CCM is his own man and is not a CBP type..Let him stand for who he is and not what we might want him to be....
