Who's Buzz in Memphis for?

[dw3dw3dw3]

Twitter - Tweet From Gary Parrish (In Memphis)
Marquette's Buzz Williams just ruined his diet @CentralBBQ. He's looking good and slim these days. But we just had a setback.


Nick King is the only guy on Scout from Memphis we are after  - 5 star 2013 Lefty Wing 6'6" 210lbs

[boyonthedock]

so, uh, guess its that guy.

[ibechillindoe]

I wouldn't mind us landing him. 6'7 athletic forward. Sounds like classic Marquette switchable.

#15 in 2013 class per Rivals.

#12 on ESPN, though they don't have us listed with him.

We do seem to love lefties.  DJO, our flirtation with Kendrick Nunn, and now this guy.

[ibechillindoe]

Looks like he is 9th on ESPN now.

Could be checking out Jonathan Williams III from Southwind H.S., 6'8" 210.

[Skatastrophy]

Could just be hungry for some real BBQ

He'd be in NC if that were the case!

[MattyWarrior]

He's welcoming them to the BEast

WHAT??!!??

[Dawson Rental]

This would be my guess.

[Blackhat]

Didn't want to create a new thread but anyone know the current deal with Cinmeon Bowers.  Word is he's back in Milw after not lasting long in NC.  6'7" 250 lb big man, one of the best big men still available.

Probably going JUCO is my guess.

[muhoops1]

Elvis, Keith Lee, the West Memphis three, the ambience.  Plenty of reasons to be in Memphis.

[4everwarriors]

Penny Hardaway got any eligibility remaining?

Buzz don't do ambiance, especially during the season.

Saz's is okay meat+sauce, but it's not really bbq.

[AZWarrior]

No.  K. C.   

[Brewtown Andy]

Maybe he's just dropping off a "Welcome To The Neighborhood" cookie bouquet to Josh Pastner.

[PBRme]

No.  K. C.   

+1 Hands Down ..... and Memphis is better than the mustard based BBQ they have in NC as well.

I would guess you are correct, and we didn't seem to be all that interested anyway.

[Avenue Commons]

Best college basketball player I ever saw live with my own two eyes. Wade is a close second and that's not a homer opinion.

Because of injuries people forget how all-around great Penny was for Memphis State.

I'm just a dumb yankee when it comes to BBQ, but the spicy, old-school TX-style BBQ is great on wings and brisket.  KC is perfect on grilled chicken.  A smoky, "wet" Memphis sauce is heaven on ribs.  And I'd put any of those three on pulled pork.  But I still haven't figured out why the world a vinegar mop or mustard sauce appeals to so many in KY and NC.

[Henry Sugar]

When I make pulled pork, nothing beats North Carolina style bbq.  The focus for me is on the meat with a little tangy flavor on the meat and coleslaw.

Honestly, debating BBQ is like picking the hottest Victoria Secret model.

Meat!  Meat!  Meat!  Meat!  Meat! 

[wadesworld]

Haven't had too many real BBQs in my life.  Was in Austin a year and a half ago and I found it amusing that they were almost offended when we asked what kind of sauces they had/offered.  They basically told us the meat itself and the smoke-grilled making of it is too good to ruin with any sauce flavoring.  That and they just serve it by the 1/2 lb. on wax paper and give you some white bread with no utensils.  Needless to say, it was insanely delicious.  Definitely a new experience for me.

That would be South Carolina.... North Carolina is either Vinegar based or Vinegar and Ketchup based....

NC should come in dead last on a BBQ contest. Yeech.

This is true...similar to dowsing a wonderful filet, rib eye, or prime rib with A-1.   I will occasionally put a little bbq sauce on some barbecue just for a change of pace.  But the real and best bbq has needs no sauce whatso ever and if it have sauce it is never put on while still cooking , only after.  A little pork fat, smoke and slow heat are all the ingredients needed.

Don't forget the dry rub.

doesn't that hurt though?

[El Duderino]

When i read these threads about how Buzz was in so and so city or state to watch a wide variety of different recruits, i wonder how really really hard working coaches like Buzz get any family time and sleep?

Between all the time Buzz has to spend on practice, game prep, making sure the players are handling their academics, media responsibilities, dealing with boosters, flying/driving across the country to visit a myriad of recruits that in most cases will choose another school, and i'm sure a wide array of other things i don't even know about, it's seems like he'd rarely have time to be at home.

[real chili 83]

No.  K. C.   

Nope, Speed Queen.....back in the day.  If you didn't get shot!

[chapman]

Yep, never had mustard-based, actually wouldn't even try it since I don't eat mustard.  Ours is vinegar and red pepper, Eastern NC style.


 

[Benny B]

You have to be gentle... as though you're working with a soft bubble, not a piece of raw meat.

[T-Bone]

Speed Queen is pretty awesome, especially at 2:00 in the AM. 

Austin has the best BBQ I've had.  Texas style doesn't particularly rely on a sauce.

[hairy worthen]

Yes, but crean rarely went off topic, in fact when comparing crean to buzz, buzz was off topic at least 70% more often than crean over the first four years of his coaching tenure. Of course we will have to give buzz the full five years before really knowing, unless of course we are talking about recruits in which case we will compare creans 11 years to buzzes 4

You can only go so long with Buzz in Memphis OR What UCONN boards are saying.

This is why I dropped my Scout premium subscription.  Never have this type of funny smart*ss commentary on Scout.  Nice touch Hairy.

[4everwarriors]

Ya gotta take the Scout board with a grain of salt. They fly off the handle too much. Besides you won't get banned over here for sayin', Crean farts in the bathtub.

An almost perfect summation of what was to be the next twenty posts.  You forgot the mandatory accusation that someone was Chicos posting under an alias.

[ringout]

I think I'm going to try it.

I did it. (posted "Crean farts in the bathtub")  I am so damn immature, but it made me laugh.

Whats Buzz doing in Racine today?

Says the guy who ended up hijacking a discussion of barbeque.

[MarsupialMadness]

Hitting up the A&W... that's about the only thing to do in Racine.  That and go to court.

What the he!! does this have to do with the best BBQ in the nation?  Stay on topic!!

[hairy worthen]

sorry,  I vote Texas barbeque, like someone previously said, its more about the hard wood smoking, (pecan and live oak) than it is the sauce. Plus it is where buzz is from, and I am sure they never had barbeque where crean is from.

Probably not, but I bet he's confused his tanning bronzer with BBQ sauce, and vice-versa.
