Currently they have signed 4 top players.

James Wiseman - 5 Star #1 Center
DJ Jeffries - 4 Star #9 PF
Malcolm Dandridge - 4 Star #22 Center
Damion Baugh - 4 Star #20 Combo Gaurd

They will probably land the below players before signing day...

RJ Hampton - 5 Star #2 Combo Guard
Precious Achiuwa - 5 Star #4 SF
Lester Quinones - 4 Star #8 SG
Boogie Ellis - 4 Star #6 Combo Guard


Penny must have some deep pockets huh?

True True.

I know LSU was going against Memphis for a few players, but had no clue they were landing this sort of class. This class will have Memphis back at the top in a year or two.

Not to mention Boogie Ellis as well, who is getting an LOI release from Duke.

I'd imagine they are gonna have to have a number of transfers seeing as they are wanting 7-8 players in one class

Memphis, formerly Memphis State, invented the basketball bagman.

If they have the coach they want, the money will flow right along the river.

So they expect to sign an 8 man class? Either they had a shitload of seniors that graduated or a lot of transfers.

This is probably the wrong time to be going ‘all out’ for this many top recruits

I’m not sure what’s so tough here.
Aren’t sports scholarships renewer every year?
They get this 8 player class then they tell the crappy players, sorry your scholarship isn't being renewed

Hardaway (aside from being a Memphis legend and former NBA star) was well connected in the Memphis HS ans AAU scene. He was brought in for ONE reason, to sign the Memphis hometown talent. He is doing just that.

Whether than turns into big results on the court or he underachieves with big talent (ala Johnny Jones) is TBD. But nothing about his signing class is surprising

How many of these guys are Memphis area players?

Penny ran an AAU team in the area and was pretty much hired to try and bring all these guys to Memphis.
