LOL. Exactly. You got me. I've been watching and waiting on every game Leron Black has played in order to post that. It's been tough watching all that Illinois basketball, but it was worth it. Seriously ? Honestly, I just saw the tweet and decided to post it. And, yes, if he had killed it against MSU, I would've definitely posted it. Is anyone confused on that ? You are obviously aware of exactly what I'm doing. I'm not making any bones about it, and never have. Have you and others been erroneously drawing some conclusion that I was posting all this randomly for fun ? These are guys we were in on that are having various degrees of success that could've helped us. But we didn't get any of them and now we have a team of jucos and walk-ons; hard-working jucos and walk-ons, but nonetheless. I thought everyone knew this. Apparently not. So there it is.

Heaven forbid you would ever bring up a recruit we miss on, that isn't doing well. Has that ever happened? Nope.

Funny.

You mean 4* recruits from Memphis that Pastner misses on that don't end up doing well?

Stokes?
Leron?
JW3?
Chiozza?


Actually, Markel is much better than JuJuan Johnson. So there's that.

And stokes could not happen. You had a family that refused to listen to TSSAA officials who said move schools and you will not be eligible. Moved anyway and could not play. Memphis could not sign him mid year. UT could. So off to Knoxville he went.
That and other rumors we won't discuss.

Black chose another school. Happens.

If he chose Crawford over J3 I'm Ok with that.

He missed on evaluating Chiozza.

Completely agree on Chiozza...Chiozza appears to play the way Josh is trying to get the rest of his point guards to play.

IMO Josh should know what he recruited and allow the players he recruited to play to their strengths instead of trying to fundamentally change their games.

Pathetic even by your bottom of the barrel standards. You can't think of a single whiff that didn't turn out to be really good?

I have no idea what you are getting at?

The players I listed were all the Top-100 guys from Memphis (that didn't sign with the Tigers) since the 2011 class. I noted that Memphis won on the Markel vs. JuJuan decision.

Why couldn't you have just replied with a mature counter instead of the "bottom of barrel" standards comment?

Just calling it like it is. Your entire list is Jujuan Johnson? He is the only player that we missed out on that didn't turn out to be really good?

Go find top 100 players from the 2011-2014 classes from Memphis who went elsewhere.

List them.

Oh, never mind. I already did.

What "list" are you looking to provide?

Or would he play the 3 (which we are also loaded at)?

He might not have too .
