TY sir. Thought so. Looking back he wasnt highly ranked, but looked like he could have been a player. No development I guess.

A lot of people, including myself, were thinking he'd be serviceable because he was a Jaimie Dixon recruit. I still don't know exactly why he hasn't played all year. He's still on scholly, but doesn't even travel with the team on road games. He lives really close to me, and I see him all the time when they're on the road. Weird.

Dwight Miller not panning out sucks because I was really high on him. Even though he was a 3 star, he was still impressive. Before signing with Dixon and Pitt, he had only played 3 years of organized ball. And c'mon...not everybody works out with the great Olajuwon. I seen a smaller version of Brian Williams with more upside. Has a great body for a big man so ehh.

Had a lot of people and schools believing that too. Doesnt seem to have been anything said about his absence either. Would think a scholarship player not even traveling with the team would definetely be newsworthy.

That is strictly coming from me. I wouldn't report it here if I weren't 100% sure. The last road game that I know he missed was Ole Miss, because I ran into him at a convenience store right before tipoff. I assume he didn't go to Candy or USC, but I don't know for a fact.

Heck yeah, we all should. In fact, lets just cancel UT basketball until his 3 year show cause is up.

Look man. I'm not saying that he's coming back. All i'm saying is he's the one that put UT mens basketball on the main stage and he gave us some good times. Nothing wrong with reminiscing a little.

This is a pointless metric without factoring in other parameters, such as experience (year).

It's so pointless yet is almost exact? Hmm.

Now I will say, I've been racking my brain on how to build off this, becuse I think it would be fun. I do think players who are seniors (spent all 4 years at said school) get a .25 bump maybe. Juniors who are same scenario say get a .125 bump maybe.

Also, there's obviously a big difference between a guy like Richardson and Reese. However, both count as 3 stars...so, Richardson was a top 150 3*...so I'm thinking top 150 3* get a bump as well, and top 50 4* also get a possible bump.

Just brainstorming ideas where experience does factor in, and how to compensate for there being so many 3 stars.

IIRC, you work in the recruiting field?

how tough is this game going to be tomorrow guys? Tex A&M looks tough at home. Just beat ole miss and mizzou there. I know Ole miss has fallen off the map but mizzou is a good win. I think we pull it out, the way we have been playing is impressive. I think it will be a very close game though. Go Vols

Too close to call.
Can't have any let down in energy whatsoever.
