He is very self confident but I didnt get the feeling of arrogance at all. I love some of his quotes. |

| This guy can't drive 55. He is a pedal to the metal type player and that is why he is not at Oklahoma any longer. If and when Pearl puts him on the floor the Vols will shine. This could be real scary for the rest of the SEC.

These guys could be a dream for an ESPN analyst. | Do you write for Chris? Could you put in a good word for us over there at ESPN?  |

| there's been "thugs" on the team that have done some pretty bad things. this kid isn't going to make things any worse. at least he does something constructive and time consuming with his rap/video shoot career. |

| I haven't read the entire thread, but this article doesn't paint a flattering picture of him. Forgive me, if it's already been posted: Quote:
No more details were offered, and Maze could not be reached for comment. However, sources close to the program said that Maze's freshman season was marked by immaturity and poor decisions, and that pattern continued into the first weeks of OU's offseason.
As one source put it: "Bobby was given opportunities here, not just an opportunity."
Sources said Maze's problems were never legal and rarely academic. Rather, they reportedly involved practice habits and overall attitude.

| I think you have to consider that while he has a little bit of a past, he has also had the opportunity to grow and learn from it. I seriously doubt Bruce would have brought the kid in if he thought he either A) he couldn't handle his attitude or B) he hadn't grown up some. Also, I would be more concerned if he left his past team for illicit substance abuse, which is apparently a problem around here. |

At this point I think we just have to trust Pearl's judgement on this.
