Word has it on the Tennessee message board that Anthony Passley is in Knoxville for a visit to possibly join Pearl and the staff there to play basketball.
I sure hope BP knows what he is doing...that kid is a trainwreck not waiting to happen...but in progress.

If passely goes to UT than pearl is seriously hanicaping his recruitment. If he is going to take players that signed with UWM, why would a recruit want to play at a school in a powerhouse conference like the SEC with players that were recruited to a mid-major school? Not smart bruce.

I know BP does not think highly of the players there already. Besides it being so late in the game, I think BP is trying to show the high and mighty UT folks that there are good players outside of TN and even the south. Those people have some serious complexes down there. I am fearfull that if these players dont work out that they will be calling for his head early, because even though we (UWM MBB) are more successful than they are right now, they still regard us as inferior.

Passley left without an offer...
People in Knoxville are up in arms at the signing of Childress over Thomas.
From what I hear, BP offered Thomas a scholly, and he said he needed to wait until his mother arrived. She never did. That gave BP time to reevaluate his offer, because as good as Thomas is he does not handle the ball well. A quick call to Childress solved the problem, but left alot of people pissed. Add in the equation Desmond Yates, a TN prospect who everyone thought had been offered a scholly, only to learn it was a "miscommunication", and you have a PR nightmare. TN folks want TN kids-they think they are the best. Most think BP is in over his head...time will tell.

I will retract my statement...
From what I hear, don't be surprised if Passley lands a scholly. He did very well in the tryouts and the other kids on the team want him.

itsasekritt,
I would stick with your original quotes even though I did hear Passley played well, The only way Passley gets a scholarship is if BP releases Smith. At the current time UT has zero to offer. Although it wouldn't be a media nightmare because BP wouldn't even have to announce that he is releasing Smith, but Smith would be free since if he decides to go to UT and they don't have a scholarship at this point the LOI would be void.
As for Thomas, this is the 4th school he has verbaled too. Sounds like somebody has a fear of commitment.
