Sounds like a PG we really need next year. Can't believe all the other posts earlier about him being a ball hog. Everyone should know Bruce won't allow that. Let's put this in Pearl's hands and whatever he says goes. I guess everyone forgets if it wasn't for Bruce we still would be missing the NIT every year.

hmmm, 15-18 pullup, attack the rim, assists, steals.....nah, we don't want that, he might not be 'our kind of kid'.

I'll put it this way: you want your pg to be confidant and skilled. If this kid has that, and wants to be a star, Bruce can make him a star. At a lot of other schools he'll just be one of a slew of kids. At UT, every player on the roster can be a FEATURE player.

If we don't get him can we get the guy that finished first in the league in assists. If Bobby finished second with 6.7 assists that other guy must be pretty smooth too.

I think he sounds way too "me first". I much prefer that recruits say things like,
"I don't want to really play that much."
"I'm not really that good"
"I'm not interested in pro ball."
"I just like to watch from the bench"
"I wish I could play for the Lady Vols"

Is that the kind of "team player" you complaining morons want as well?

marc_ash-

You sound pretty confident. I hope you are right. Is Maze elligible to play next season or will he have to sit out a year? I don't know how that works when a kid is leaving a juco to go to D-1.

I wonder what "rap video" he was in?

I have to agree with some of other posters here. If he likes to play up tempo then he'd hate playing for Billy The Drunk. The Cats aren't even allowed to shoot the ball until the shot clock's down to under 5 seconds.

Posted by knoxvegas75 on May 6, 2008 at 6:45 p.m. (Suggest removal)

Yes he would be able to play this year that is why he is being sought.

I hope he does come here and contribute to the team even if it is for just one year. If Bruce plays his cards right we will have a lot of one and done (until its two and through (that sounds horrible i know)).

CBP is a good enough coach to let a young man know his role in a team and still be able to showcase his talents to move on to the next level. I hope we get Maze..

Posted by Phowell23 on May 6, 2008 at 6:55 p.m. (Suggest removal)

I agree with knoxvegas. We need a proven point guard, while giving West time to get use to the rough SEC play. If Maze signs with us and plays one year then moves on to the NBA, not only does it give us something else to sell to recruits but also gives West enough time to be huge his sophomore and later years. I just don't like the idea of West or Prince being our #1 point guards next year.

Listen, you people are reading a little too much into this. Bottom line, we need this guy. I would prefer not to have to start a true freshman in West, so I'd take a solid experienced PG. If he doesn't work out, we'll have West and maybe JP. But he is a perfect fit for our biggest need.

There is a guy named Marc Maggard that is a basketball recruiting guru and he has reported that Kentucky will not offer Maze and most likely he will end up at Tennessee. You can go to KentuckyInk.com for lots of recruiting info on Maze and other top college prospects.

No doubt the kid has some great skills, but I just wonder about the chemistry issue. Of course at this point, we need an experienced point guard for next year so it might be worth the gamble

Yep, i'd say just in looking at his pic and reading about him he does fit in pretty well with this program. Don't think any vol fan should ever criticize the Memphis players with a clear conscious. In reading about the Vols team lately I don't think i'd be talking.

On a more pleasant note. The praise just continues to roll in from last seasons incredible ride. One day, if Bruce works hard and is able to get better at his recruiting skills and you guys finally began to attract some top quality players, the story below could be about the Vols. Never stop dreaming. There is always hope. No matter how bleak it can look with pothead players, players not very smart, gang type recruits, a team across the state that always stays a few steps ahead of you.. etc..etc.. You can still dream. Never stop dreaming and one day the Vols may have a program as incredible as your big brothers on the other side of the state.

A kid that averages 21 points,7 assists and 5 rebounds is a great point guard. He may be the last piece of the puzzle that Pearl needs to get to the Final Four. He obviously can score but to have that many assists averaged per game shows that he gets everyone involved as well. Seven is a lot of assists. As a bonus he can shoot from 18 to 15 feet...just what we have been missing. Sounds like a one and done if he's as good as advertized. He and Tyler Smith together could drive defenses crazy.

I think so too. His reputation is as a guy that wants the ball in his hands. He sometimes takes some really bad shots. Only real knock I've heard is that if he get's out of sync, he loses focus. May need to go to the Bruce Pearl camp of work your @ss off for a few months to tier that.

He should be a good fit for the Vols. At this point, they need a pg (at least with some experience). I can't see Prince being the popular choice going into the season at pg.

Well boys, glad you checked out the CA article. As for the measley 5 comments, actually we have just had so many of these types of honors/celebrations etc. that most fans have gotten a bit used to it now. Most just skim thru the sports section looking for any info. on recruits and we constantly see all the praising so most have stopped bothering to read it all. One day you guys may understand. Bush even made some nice comments about the team recently to a tenn. congressman commenting on what a great team they were. ..yawn.. Anyway, yes most of us are more interested in recruiting info at this point. That explains the lack of comments. This site is much more interesting at this time of year. Vol fans can't get along with each other and so there is always the infighting and squabbling that goes on over here. Heck with DSAVol posting on here I may be able to stop. He seems to iritate much better than I can. The memphis site is mostly articles on praise from last season, updates on all the players in the upcoming nba draft, star recruits coming in..etc..etc.The good news can just get boring at times. At the vols site we have player suspensions, health issues, insults flying between posters etc etc. Also it's enjoyable to see how you can take a situation and if it involves a vol player, turn it into nothing but positive, and if it's a player from another team, listen to you butcher the poor fellow/team. Fun to read all your praise for Pearl knowing that if this guy was a coach anywhere else you'd be merciless with him. So, all in all, this site is just more fun this time of year when there aren't any games going on. Also some Memphis fans formed a 'by invitation only' board where they post. It seems so many Vol trash talkers have continued to post on the CA board that some have had to create a way to post to keep the Vol people away. One more point i'd like to make....Tigers will beat the Vols next year.
Even brownie knows it in his heart.

Maze may very well sign with TN but to come on here and state it as a fact like you actually know what's going on before he even visits is nothing more than a guess that you HOPE you can look good on. But hey, it's a habit with you so we should all expect it I guess.

An invitation only board hu? Wow, now that is funny. That is the problem with memphis fans, they can't handle the idea of someone coming in and questioning the "greatness" of memphis basketball.

I think the reality of it is you really have nothing to discuss on your site because you have nothing to look forward to. memphis doesn't have any other team to be excited about. Football isn't even a sport in memphis, and the basketball team doesn't play until next year.

I do buy that the CA site can be boring at times. I mean, how many times can you talk about a player hitting his girlfriend or selling drugs. Yes, UT has it's issues as well...but don't try and suggest that memphis is immune from this type of behavior.

Nobody cares about memphis, but obviously you care about the Vols. Great, welcome to Big Orange country. It is great over here. We talk about basketball, football, and all other sports that UT excels at.

I love the second to last sentence you leave us with...the tigers will beat the Vols next year. Well, if that happens you may have some room to brag. But the reality of it is....for the last 2 years, you haven't. Nice effort though, maybe you'll get em next year.

DSaVol,

Marc_a$$....GOOD ONE. Like I said before child, do not respond to my posts. If I want your opinion, I will give it to you.

Secondly, go back and do some research. Brian Williams did make an impact this season. Some would even say he was more of an impact that your buddy Ramar Smith. Impacting a team doesn't just mean scoring 18 every night. If you don't think B Williams helped this team, then you are sadder than most already think you are.

As for knowing some information, I do. I...unlike you, don't say things unless I know what I'm talking about. And as far as trying to look good, who gives a sh!t. I could care less about looking good and care even less of what you think.

Like I said before kid, find something to add to the conversation, your script is getting old and boring.

Marcy, Memphis fans don't mind people questioning our greatness. I believe most every so called expert in the country did it this year. You know those people that come on your tv and try to make you believe they are on a higher plane of knowledge than you and boldly tell you how things will play out. Yep, we listened to them all year say we were only good due to being in a weak conf. and we listened in amazement as we saw what we saw on the court. How could these people be such idiots. Who cares about the conf. Don't you see what we are seeing out there? Either you are stupid or us memphis fans are stupid cause we are seeing the absolute best team in college out there and you guys are constantly overlooking them and even when they beat good teams they were overlooked. In the final 8 nobody really picked memphis to be in the final 4. In the final 4 Memphis was the only team to not be picked to make it to the final 2. As it all turned out, the 'experts?' were the idiots and the Memphis fans could now laugh at what they had heard all year long. Never again will I put much faith in these wonderful espn analysts. They are simply guessing and they are going to pick their favorites. So, anyway Marcy we had our greatness questioned all season. We got used to it. Even the clowns over in Vol land wasn't able to recognize one of the greatest college basketball teams in years. You thought it was the conference also. I remember a post from you Marcy just before the tourament started and you said that you hoped that Tenn. would end up in the same bracket as Memphis because Tenn would win by double digits. Hhmm..remember?? In reality you know what would have happened had the vols met up with Memphis in the tourney and it would not have been pretty. 40 point win.. 50? Largest ever in tourney history???
No U. Memphis fans don't talk much about football. Why should we? We have nothing there. We admit it but it sure kills Vol people to admit Memphis superiority in basketball.
Also you couldn't resist your usual.. player insults..the gf incident. You were full of those last season. In a week where you have had 2 players kicked off the team you still bring up an incident with a Memphis player. Such a habit you can't resist. Better watch out though.. it seems the Vols are going to dethrone us.. at least when it comes to the thugville title. Wouldn't matter what happens with the vol players..marcy will still bring up only the memphis player incidents. Too bad there is not an ignore button on this board. Marcy would be a good one to filter out.
Brownie, i'm going to look past your attacks. I realize you got that promotion to shake master at the brownsville diary queen last month and you haven't quite come down off the mountain yet. So, it's ok. I'm just glad the worst nba teams season has ended. Can you believe they have decided to keep the coach and team doctor. Unbelievable.

Posted by marc_ash on May 7, 2008 at 6:18 p.m. (Suggest removal)

overatedvols,

Memphis was picked by a lot of people to win the title. They were preseason #1 if I recall (or top 3 at least) and even during the final 4, many were picking memphis to win it all. If I recall, the media was picking memphis to beat UT also. Get your facts straighter than your spelling before you post a flat out lie.

I wish memphis and UT ended up in the same bracket. I don't remember saying that, but if I did I'm sure I meant it. So, what is your point? We will only know that UT beat memphis on their court...AGAIN. This is becoming a trend, don't you think? memphis vs UT with the same outcome.

I don't know what all of your boasting is about...you haven't won a title. Man, you sure were close..but the biggest choke in NCAA finals history came calling. What was it...a 9 pt lead with 2 min left?

OK....I'm going to ask you a direct question (and lets see if you dodge it yet again):
How does (and let me quote you)"the absolute best team in college" have the biggest choke in NCAA history and blow a 9pt lead with 2 min left? IF um is the "absolute best team in college", how can they choke so badly. The answer...they weren't the best team in college. They MAY have had the most talent, but were far from the best team.

YOu might be able to have an argument if your team would have ever won a title in something. Quite a shame that you haven't. I know you think your team is superior...but man, you sure come around a lot. Like a little brother, as some have stated. When you can beat the Vols in something, let me know. So far, it isn't looking too good for lil bro.

How can you have superiority over UT when you have a losing record against them?

Maybe if Memphis wasn't prone to CHOKE in big games, they would have been picked to win the NCAA tournament. I know Ashley's Furniture was sure betting against them with their FREE furniture if they won. Go boycott them (Ashley's) or hide in your kittycat den and lick your wounds...you are not wanted or needed in Big Orange Country.

My, my, my little Volgirls, how your jealousy does show? But you do have this little setting wherein you can share your delusions of superiority, don't you? I guess the uthugs' mark of progress...will be the advancement to "big games" where they would have the opportunity to "choke"? As they did against OH ST after being up 28? Longtime, the Tigers continue to advance to the Elite 8..which is rather a prerequisite for a shot at the title. That's why the Tigers are "HIGH" as in rated, considered, and perceived. The only way your uthugs can be "high" is on weed. Your highest basketball achievement ever? Beating Memphis. You properly measure your program by...MEMPHIS. Yet, you don't have staying power. After beating Memphis, the uthugs deflated like little girls...barely beating American? Please. Of this you can be sure: Memphis is and will continue to be an Elite program. Calipari is making more money than 4 knoxville zip codes, just hired 2 assistants away from other elite programs, set a 3 year win record, 3 consecutive Elite 8s, the Final Four, the title game, sent 8 to the pros in that period, sent 4 assistants to be D1 head coaches, and will have the #1 recruiting class. Your jealousy is measurable and palpable through your pitiful posts. Go Volgirls!! The only elite program in knoxville.

ITS - You too are out of your league. Way to avoid the issues..you must be a Hillary fan as well. If I remember corectly, the mighty Tigers of Tiger high BARELY beat an unranked UAB. Did UAB make it to the NCAA Tourney? No, that is right your JR CUSA Conference only sent 1 team...and they choked! You can not deny it, everyone saw it and everyone knows it....except you Tiger High folks that are in denial. So, don't give us any crap about barely beating American....at least they made it to the tourney.

In case you Tiger High folks don't remember, YOU LOST to UT at home. Case closed! Come back and see us when you grow up.

Yes longtime, I am out of my league; yours is a league that has little education, less logic, and less basis for your pittering arguments. Most of us will indeed be proud to advance to the Elite 8, the Final Four, and the title game again this year...or any year. You little volgirls have yet to advance beyond the 16; and when you reach that level, you generally are dispatched like the organge-haired stepchildren that you are...because you don't belong in elite circles. Pot smoking, academic non-qualifying: That fits your team, that fits you little volgirls here.

ITS - Again...way to avoid the issues. You should call Hillary and give her some pointers.

Go Tiger High....Go away that is.
