Yea if you think so. That is not most peoples opinions. It is yours. What about Hopson? Top ten consensus, top 5 on Rivals , 5 star many thought was a 1 and done couldn't even get drafted in the second round. Duke Crews 5 star not drafted. Chism top 40 4 star not drafted. Ramar Smith 5 star not drafted. Tyler Smith top 45 4 star not drafted. He came in to UT as a 15 ppg 5rbd 3.5 ast guy and stayed at that level. Lofton was already a Freshman AA 13 a game scorer and the best 3 pt shooter in the SEC when Pearl came. Never was drafted. You obviously know nothing about basketball like a lot of fans on the bball forum. Pearl was a better offensive coach than Martin no doubt. Developing players not so much. Who are all these players he developed so great? At least have something to back up your claims. I liked Pearl and he is a good coach but people have a revisionist view of his time here.
That's not true lol
I actually know someone is really close to Mcrae and he told me that neither Mcrae or Stokes liked Martin.
It's like people feel the need to try and make things up to further bury Martin, there's plenty of bad things, no need to make stuff up really.
Stokes was on the radio and was asked about the Tennessee fans, he said they always treated him well and thought they appreciated him, he went out of his way to mention that he didn't particularly like how "his coach" was treated though. Then went on to say that he will keep tabs on Tyndall and Tennessee, but will also be supporting Cal and Martin now.

I really think most development is a natural progression and on the individual.
