The one area CCM has yet to address in his short stay has been the point guard position. At this point he may need to go the juco route. Not sure if Landry can contribute immediately this fall. Not ready to throw the towel in on CCM as most are. His talent assessment is going to have to improve if he is going to compete. Based on this season things are not going well, but CCM is only in his second year with one of his main players out for the season (Maymon).

Sly, I don't believe that most people are ready to "throw in the towel" on CCM; I think it's a vocal minority on this website. Everyone obviously is aware of the impact of Maymon's injury, but I'd be willing to bet that over half of Vol "fans" don't really understand the nature of McBee's injury nor do they even remember who Dwight Miller is. Throw in nagging injuries to Golden and Hall, plus Reese's delayed debut, and you have no recipe for consistency or chemistry. What coach could win faced with those problems?

Similarly, I think it's a vocal minority that thinks it's a good idea to rehire Pearl. I was as big of a Pearl fan as anyone, but he brought shame and embarrassment upon himself and university by lying to the NCAA and instructing others to lie, and there's no possible way that any university officials would want to re-invite that level of scrutiny and negative exposure by rehiring him. If they did rehire him, could you imagine how easy it would be to recruit against Pearl?
