| CM is a over-comer. He's a fighter. Life's lessons have taught him to never give up. Not all, but I say most kids would love to play for him. From what I've read and have seen, He is the real deal. Integrity? no problem. Honesty? Yes. He IMO has qualities that good men strive to have. He is a leader. Respect for him comes naturally. Tennessee basketball is on it's way up, and I'm thinking way up. God bless the Vols.

| The biggest thing hell have to overcome is the negative recruitment from others saying he hadn't put anyone in the league. You know K will be mentioning that to hubbs and Nichols.
If CCM can put stokes and then a few others in the league,coupled with his attitude and mindset, I think well see very good classes from him consistently. |

| I have liked this hire since the beginning. Coach Zo has the background, understanding of the game, work ethic, and character to be extremely successful combined with the facilities, fan base, and SEC brand. The better players are going to be attracted and as he lands his share the performance of the team will rise to even higher levels.
I am an unashamed sunshine pumper for Coach Zo and staff. | |

Too many pieces and not enough room for error to turn a fb program around in 3 or 4 years.
Bball on the other hand. Can't wait!! | |

I thought his was so telling how three or four of them said "I would do anything for Coach Zo."
