Crazy. Big pressure for Penny but I’m not sure he can mess this up if he tries.

Memphis will beat up on the crap teams on their schedule, lose to the quality teams, make the tournament as 5 seed and get upset by a 12 in the first round. Memphis fans will say they’re back, Penny will say they’re just getting started, Bates and Duren go pro, several guys transfer, they will be worse the following year.

I get the early appeal of Penny.. but how has it not waned? He's underdelivered in team success and I've yet to see him do anything special to get these kids to the next level.

Anyone want to bet $100? Memphis makes the Final Four you win. Memphis doesn’t, for any reason, I win.
I'd bet the same about Kentucky.If NCAA doesn't step in,Memphis will go farther than Kentucky.After only winning 9 games,Cal has to have a good season.

With Cal getting older,Coach K and Roy Williams gone.Have to think Penny and the staff he's now assembled will keep getting the big name recruits,especially with players getting paid now and Fed Ex leading the way for 5 star players.Play for coaches who have actually played at all star levels,these players are wanting to get to same level.Its a new sheriff and program in town.Even in future years,if Kentucky still gets their studs cause of the Kentucky name,Memphis will continue getting 5 stars now cause of the players getting g paid.Too many 5 star players now and Kentucky can't get all of them.
Watch out guys, the program who hasn’t made the NCAA tournament in almost a decade is the new sheriff in town. Is this a washed up post from 2008?

Been known for over 2 weeks.

Big NIL deals to both.

Not gonna spend a lot of time repeating myself but unless UK is gonna come with some big offers through the grapevine then we will never touch one of those again.

Pre NIL era
Post NIL era.

Better get used to it.
