Vols preparing as though Maymon will be eligible for Pitt...

Like myself, a lot of people back here in Wisconsin are curious to see how he pans out. For those you who don't know, you have two Maymon's on scholarship...Jeronne and his father. Past history shows that the father speaks more than the son, a lot of the time. You guys want some excitement, find out where the old man is sitting at your games and sit nearby.

Jeronne was a manchild in H.S., hardly anybody could stop him. Obviously college is different than H.S.

Someone felt he wasn't getting the minutes/use he should have at M-Q. Word on the street is that is was the old man's idea to leave town.

Bo's probabaly happy he passed on Jeronne Maymon, this weekend we'll see how the Vander Blue situation plays out. (Blue played with Maymon on the same H.S. team and verbal to Bucky, only to back out later)

Maymon's beginning to his career at UT is just one of many reasons to be excited about UT vs PITT in a couple days. I, for one, see much more value in having him on our team after watching our team play this season to date. All indications are that he is a solid defender and has a pretty darn good mid-range game and a soft touch around the rim. If this is true, and I see no reason to doubt what the other guys on the team have said about him he is exactly what we needed and can fill about the only hole we have on this team. That being of course, the lack of a true scorer in our 2nd rotation of the hockey subs.
Trae Golden can score at times, but doesn't seem to have developed much faith in his ability to score at this level of play yet. McBee scares me every time the ball goes through him as he just doesn't seem to have the best awareness and rushes things at times and puts himself and our team in bad situations too much. Woolridge has been an adequate defender and his length has seemed to bother his man and his lateral quickness seems to have had a marginal improvement from his sloth-like electric slide from last season. Pearl, while we all know is going to give 100% effort, 100% of the time is not the most talented player to grace our program but his heart, determination, and ability to frustrate the opponent is a great asset to this team, but lets be honest... the kid cannot score unless he is unguarded within 5' of the rim. John fields and Kenny Hall are both shooting @ or above 50% from the field, but neither are a solid offensive threat at this stage although I do believe that Kenny has the potential to be a really good inside scoring threat in the coming years. Maymon "should" give us exactly what we need. Someone that can keep the score at a similar margin while that 2nd unit gets a blow and give the opponents defense tired legs down the stretch.

GOD I LOVE THIS GAME!!!

GO VOLS!!!

Ryan knew exactly to stay away from Maymon. Jeronne doesn't fit the Bo Ryan mold.

He also left before conference play ever started, but he "played center in the Big East."

Come on Hat, he was on the team. The fact that he never actually played a Big East game doesn't mean that he didn't play well in the "Big East". Technical facts such as this shouldn't really be considered when you are providing such valuable insight to this forum.

I hope he doesn't play in the pitt game, any other game i would be fine with it. but let a team that is on a roll play some people with some PT when we play pitt.

I honestly don't know how some people on here claim to be "fans" of the University of Tennessee. (cough, HAT, cough, SMG...) Certain people do nothing but bash all things that have to do with UT Athletics. IMO, a fan is simply a person who wants positive outcomes for the team in question. Constructive criticism is one thing, but to claim yourself as a person wanting positive outcomes for UTK athletics, all the while doing nothing but bashing them, is ridiculous.

I know this is an open forum, but isn't it safe to say that MOST people here actually DO like the Vols, correct? Heck, I even respect the ones who don't as long as they ADMIT IT and don't have a Tennessee Icon under their names. I for one appreciate the FREE information that I get on the Vols and MOST of the opinions about particular events/situations pertaining to our beloved team, but couldn't their be a separate forum for the "Pseudo-Vols"? I just don't understand why people still even acknowledge their existence at this point, my orange blood boileth over....

The ignore feature is flawed because their posts are still shown when people quote them. I know everyone is entitled to their opinions, but if you hate the Vols and every decision that is made on their behalf, go cheer for the Gay-tors or another wretched team.

I just heard that he isn't on the team bus so I guess it's looking like he is NOT playing.

Inexcusable why we can't get a decision made on this guy's grades... the professor has to be held accountable for not posting the guy's grades before now.

Grades aren't due yet. The professor can do him a FAVOR by posting early, but by no means is he required by his job.

That's what is being said on Basilio's show. This is why it is ridiculous.

What makes that anymore ridiculous than if it were any other class?

It actually makes sense. Would you expect a professor who probably teaches bowling part-time at UT to be hasty with posting their grades? I sure wouldn't expect much.

It makes no sense... It's bowling.

I understand it is one of the less academically-challenging classes, but my point is that any professor can take forever in posting the grades. And we're not even sure if it is this bowling class he's waiting on. Are you saying you'll be less upset if it's a different class?

OK, this is what happened. He probably has all of his grades posted by now, since that's what he said in this morning's article. I'll assume he's talking about his official grades that would be posted on CPO/MyUTK, and NOT on BlackBoard, because he knows they're unofficial anyway. From now until late-mid-December, the professors can alter or modify each students' grades until that specific date. Sounds like UT isn't taking a chance with anything, and is going to wait until his official grades are finalized, not just posted.

It's not his profs. His grades are posted, and he has emails from his profs that they won't be changed.

The university is acting a bit odd about this, to be honest. A prof can change a grade even after it's finalized, with a change-of-grade form. This is a semantic hoop, and if they were going to play that kind of game with Maymon the university should have warned him.

all my grades are officially posted on CPO now - and I'm taking all EEngineering classes and differential equations - and my last final was yesterday - so it's a bit ridiculous if the teachers don't have the grades up - especially if he talked to them about trying to get his up asap.

OK, maybe he'd be in the same boat with you if he were an engineering student, but being a student-athlete in D-I basketball, we know he's not. I don't see why people are getting mad at the professors, all of his grades are in while MOST people don't have any. I have one of 6 posted right now, but all of his are posted, and the university is not letting him be eligible until his grades are finalized, which is just a few days before Christmas.

1. His grades are up, so it's not the profs.

2. It's not ridiculous. There is a deadline for the grades to be posted, and it hasn't arrived yet. The professors are not obligated to go grade your final as soon as you finish it. They might be working on research projects, which is actually a part of their job. Or, god forbid, they might have a life.
