I know we play at Memphis and Memphis plays at Tennessee.
Penny adds another
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
Just to recap:
6 months ago, Penny don’t matter. He’s not even a thorn in our side. UK eats first. BBN baby.
He only got Wiseman and Jeffery cuz they played on his team in AAU. He’ll be exposed.
Now, yeah he’s got talent but he can’t handle the pressure. He’s clearly paying for players.
This place is so predictable.

yup. rinse and repeat...and it's usually the same suspects posting the same stupid sh*t.
He ain't doing it without help. Goes from high school coach and AAU coach to head coach at Memphis. He is using his name and friends in the league and elsewhere to get this done.
They will make the tournament in my opinion as a 3 or 4 seed. AAC will be very weak this year. They shouldn’t lost more than 4 or 5 games heading into the tournament.
The only decent team they play is Tennessee. What a junk schedule. Penny will either look good for lack of competition or look terrible for losing to bad opponents.
You forget Memphis also got Tucker, who is a senior, has already averaged right at 20 points a game at the division ! level, and is a better athlete than any incoming freshman in Memphis or the Cats class.
No i didn’t forget. He’s a transfer not a recruit. And we also have Nate Sestina. But did you see me mention him? Tucker being better than their incoming freshman is funny to me. The lower ranked one sure possibly. Not the top ones. Ark Little Rock isn’t a the ACC, SEC or a power 5.
And this is why I trust you as a person and poster, brother. I love the consistency and I mean that.
Part of why I had wanted Jaden so bad. Now if we do miss on him, I'll have to see smug Memphis fans beating their chest about how "Penny's better than Cal".
Hope they crash and burn. Who in the hell voluntarily moves to Memphis anyway? Did some work there a few weeks ago. It’s pretty run down.
Penny took two guys away from UK and most here continue to claim he’s a scrub, can’t coach, etc....
He’s become a force in recruiting and even a small amount of success next year will increase his recruiting ability.
People better take notice.

How are these kids choosing penny over us?? This is ridiculously frustrating. We have track record
Yep. And it's largely the same people who were bleating all year about how Virginia and Tony Bennett's system could never ever win a title.
Sorry, but yes. But behold, Jalen Wilson de-committed from Michigan and is best friends with RJ. When one door shuts, another one opens. Also, Jalen doesn't have the stink of having handlers who were looking to get paid like Precious does.
Lol. Because we know Kansas would never pay anyone or do anything against the rules....
He was Wiseman and Jeffries AAU coach. Wasn’t hard for him to lure those two guys to Memphis. That’s the only reason. I’ll take Brooks or Whitney over Jeffries. What evidence is there that says he’s a good coach?
And those kids have probably been actively recruiting the rest of the class. Penny won’t sustain this, especially if he doesn’t win big next year. Good for Memphis. Your one shining moment.
Memphis used to be a wonderful city with culture, life, and only a few rough parts. Now, thanks to drugs and gangs, it’s become a cesspool of violence and crime.
As far as Penny is concerned, he will be a force to be reckoned with if he gains traction in the post season.
Kids really don’t care where they go to school anymore if they get what they want in return. Penny has a lot of connections.
Shame really. I used to like Penny. He’s now becoming a pain.

The good thing is this will happen this year when we are loaded. After Penny flops with top talent the luster will be gone and it will be business back to usual.
Not too worried about this. In fact, I hope we play them. Next yr. Penny is going to see it’s tough to make everyone happy. He probably won’t lose a game in his **** conference which is fine, but wait till he plays the bigs boys. Guaranteed if we don’t play them in the regular season we will be playing them in the tournament sometime. If penny doesn’t take that team to a minimum of an elite 8 it will be a total failure. I also don’t see Hampton going there because he wants to be the man and that won’t happen given the grad transfer they just got. I hope he goes to Kansas

James was born in Nashville & moved to Memphis to play for Penny. Penny is already heavily involved with some of the top ranked kids in 2020, so I wouldn’t count on this being a one year thing. Obviously, he’s going to need to prove that he can win big with this type of talent. Penny has a lot of momentum & Mike Miller is killing it with these kids. We will see, but I would not bet against him at this point.
Can't move the goalposts, just acknowledge they are doing a great job recruiting. I just wanted to see results before I gave credit to him and he's done a fantastic job on the recruiting trail this year. He/staff deserve all the praise. Can't worry about other programs getting praised/shine because it's part of the job. You earn your respect. Next step is toughest but always easier to contend when you have players.
Never understand when a UK or other Blueblood concerns themselves with other programs getting recognized. You have a brand that has sustained and succeeded over the history of CBB. It's not going to change unless UK/BBN allows/accepts it to. So focus on the great things you are doing. For instance, Memphis staff told several recruits this UK team wouldn't have 1 guy enter the Draft, they'd all be returning and they would be a borderline NCAA team due lacking talent. They won 30 games, made Elite 8. At Memphis they do that this year, it'll be a huge success story (and should be) but at UK it was a bit of a disappointment, even though this is thinnest team in terms of elite NBA prospects I've seen Cal have--but 3 are projected to be 1st Rounders. If that's the "down times"---you are living well.

It’s not just Penny but also Mike Miller is looking like he is a good recruiter .

You literally post nonsense in like 90% of your posts.
If you’re so sure the comment you quoted is accurate please cite names and examples. Don’t just piggyback off someone else and make a blanket and vague comment
Frank the Tank you've been on here all day and it has taken you this long to get enough 101 shots down ya throat to post more dumbness.
OH...almost forgot...
"Be Well"
He’s still affecting us.
Regardless of the reason, he IS taking players.
And the whole “he only got good players cuz he coached them in AAU” is officially out the window with a recruiting class like this.
There’s no evidence he’s a good coch. There’s also no evidence he’s a bad coach. Classic Message board spin to imply he can’t coach.
