Business decision, huh? So he's getting a real job?

RE: Stokes: "I don't want to turn my back on my city, but it's a business decision."
I said this much a few days ago, and of course the typical sunshine people slammed me and I became a troll hahahhaah but whatever I say my opinion and what I hear.

Last is UK out of pic because of scholly situation and father said UK has backed off not Stokes, maybe because of Shabazz situation and everyone knowing UK is leading on that deal.

I heard Tenn 1st Ark 2nd, but did get a text early saying Ark is making a late strong push but Tenn still in lead.

Was told UM was out of picture a couple weeks ago and they new it

Hopefully Josh takes a long look at this transfer out of Pitt, sounds like a good fit and with Damon and his ties to Canada just maybe that hire will produce something now.

No offense or nothing Miss J, but I didn't think that spoke volumes, because the last known game he was at was Austin Peay(if i'm not mistaken), since then we have had 2 other home game, Murray State and Lispcomb, that being said I still think it's UTK.

I don't think he was @ the Austin Peay game. This is one of several shots I got of behind our bench and he isn't there. I certainly could have missed him though.

Jackson State not there ?

Belmont game he was there.

Maybe I am Crazy, but wasn't he at UT for one game and another visit for the other weekend game against Murray State...That could explain why he wasn't at our games.

I don't think people will hate him - he just won't be remembered dearly by the city. The Tigers are the darlings of Memphis.


Unless you are NBA bound, the best "business decision" is to stay home. He certainly won't be remembered dearly. He will be remembered as the first new generation of home bred talent to leave the city. Some will wish him well, some will hope he fails and most will get to the point of not caring one way or the other.

No...Unless you are sure fire NBA, the best decision is to go where they have a scholarship for you.

We don't

Are all you experts sure it isn't Ark? That would be worse than UT in my opinion.

Last week I thought it was UT....then UT-Memphis 50/50...hearing Florida making a late run.
Billy the Kid is one of the good guys in college hoops...UF would be a good place for him...especially this year....good team and only one big that plays.
I think he changes his mind a couple of times between now and Thursday and ends up playing for Memphis

Maybe he just wants to get away from home for a year or two. I did when I left for college. I do think he's a drama queen however.

Am I the only one who realizes what a complete clown show this has been? I have never before seen such self aggrandizement from a future college athlete. Maybe it's just access to more media sources. I'm the best player in the city, but I have no championships to show for it. So I have to take my talents to Oak Hill. I could be the King of Memphis and have all the girls if I wanted. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

With the way our big men have been playing, I wouldn't want to come here either.

Just in case you forgot here: http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/...ony-harris

Also 1997 McDonalds All-American, from East High School, in Memphis, Tennessee, help lead UT to 4 straight NCAA tournaments while he was there, and also helped UT beat Memphis 4 years in a row, has his number retired at East, along with Former U Of M player Cedric Henderson.


Yet, he says he wishes that he'd have stayed home and played for the Tigers.

Hes just been makin a big buttshead of himself for the past year. Maybe he 'll finally wipe his butt off and come to Memphis. If not he can take that smelly butt to someone else.

This really stinks too.....CJP needs to get it together.....I suspect it's Arkansas......Once that door opens for Hogs....Anderson will grab'em by the boat load.....As long as the "perception" is that CJP doesn't know what he is doing it will begin to hurt CJP.....HS coaches and people that know the game see the product on the floor...

Getting Stokes.......you had to get him.....period....you are MISSING A STRONG POST.....they made Black skinny and it is hurting him in the post.....you need some size.....to lose him to UT.....Cunzo Martin or Anderson is pretty bad.....to lose him to Florida or UK is tragic.
