    Bates to Memphis

    Memphis and a few other schools are learning to change with how kids are thinking. They want NBA people teaching them how to be ready for the NBA. Penny, Larry Brown, and Sheed Wallace are all NBA blue bloods and Cody Toppert is an NBA development guy. We play in and NBA arena. We have NBA...

    Bates to Memphis

    Wiseman only played 3 games, Jeffries and LQ were hurt. It was a team of young players led by a really good freshman Prescious Achiuwa playing out of position. No matter the circumstances coaches have to win but facts should be part of the story.

    Memphis

    Kentucky is a blue blood. Kentucky has a great basketball history by any measure. Kentucky has the SEC and a blank check to support the program. Kentucky has very devoted fans. Memphis is not a blue blood but we do have a history of success. Memphis will be successful again, and I think it will...

    Gary Parrish moves Memphis to pre-season #5

    We had trouble scoring last year against better defenses because we were less talented and very one dimensional. We had virtually no inside game and mostly undersized freshmen out top. Oh, and we destroyed UCF twice. Were we anything close to Duke? Of course not. But Duke also was very one...

    Gary Parrish moves Memphis to pre-season #5

    Not if you look at just wins. Schedule strength was was way up as were every measure. No knowledgeable fan would look at the two years and call them even. Go read my posts and show me were I said national power. I expect great things but other than recruiting Penny and program have not done...

    Gary Parrish moves Memphis to pre-season #5

    I think you shifted some things in my comments. Why would you question his work ethic? It was silly when people said it a year ago and ridiculous now. I'll give you some room on building the program but I started my post as saying he still had to prove it. Still his production is on...

    I'm sorry. What lane is that?

    Gary Parrish moves Memphis to pre-season #5

    Parrish is honest about his bias. Doesn't mean he is wrong.

    Gary Parrish moves Memphis to pre-season #5

    He had a bunch of left-over junior college kids Tubby brought in (you remember Tubby?) mixed with a few 3 star undersized, underdeveloped freshmen. He played a chaos style game because that's about all he could do to win. His first season was very comparable to Cal's first season at Memphis...

    Gary Parrish moves Memphis to pre-season #5

    I agree that Penny still has to prove himself at the college level as a coach. But so far he has deflected every claim that he could not do the job. People said he didn't have the work ethic, that he wouldn't give up his golf time. That was wrong. People said a rich NBA...

    RJ Hampton reclassify to 2019 and updates list

    Naw, that's fan talk. You guys spend a whole lot more time thinking and talking about Memphis while Penny is trying to make Memphis the best it can be. There are plenty of 4-5 stars out there for Ky and Memphis. Last year was survival since Penny had to create a roster in three weeks. His real...

    Memphis with ‘GOAT’ coach Penny falls again

    Not sure what crazy fan shared that thought with you. Speaking for the sane and mass Tiger Fan Nation, the general consensus on Tubby was that it was an awful hire, a bad fit, a guy with past success but too old and was still trying to apply a coaching style and recruiting style that was dead...

    Wiseman announcing decision Tuesday

    He is already recruiting beyond his AAU contacts. Nothing is certain or guaranteed but I thought Tubby was a terrible fit and I think Penny is perfect for a successful, long-term run.

    Nashville was a different conversation.
