re: Apparently Mizzou is offering Cuonzo Martin 3.5 million bones

He was post Bruce Pearl at UT, 32-20 with 2 NITs and a Sweet 16

Pearl was a great recruiter, so he had that to work with, and they were coming off 6 tourney's in a row. He missed the tourney the first two years and barely squeaked in his 3rd year and played in the play in game.

He wasn't good enough for Tennessee's expectations.

what has he done to say he should be getting paid that much? He's had NBA talent at Cal, and made the tourney once, and underperformed greatly that year they did make it getting their arse kicked by Hawaii in the tourney. If it weren't for LSU with Simmons last year, their pathetic season with the talent they had wouldn't get overlooked as much as it does.

If LSU hired him i'd be pretty irate, regardless of salary.
