Avery is a reason he isnt coming but the main reason is they outbidded us. We probably were only willing to go so high....if those relationship$ were really that strong how did LSU take the lead before the Wade scandal???




Money.


End of the day, we could drop major money and he would be here. It's probably smart that we aren't willing to pay the money it would take at this point though because without a doubt the Watford's will shop every offer.

Bro that shite is totally different. Kid has a chance to go to the league and a lot more options. Lets just be honest. Penny was supposed to be the next Jordan before injuries and they have Mike Miller an NbA vet on the staff. We have no nba ties on our staff.



I don't disagree with any of the facts you state about Memphis. My only point is that everything you mentioned above is the PROBLEM with college basketball. It's foolish to act as though because this kid was a "fan" of a school growing up he's going to play ball there. The very spirit of college athletics, especially in the sport of basketball, is being gutted.

Yeah I hope Mack stays, he could have a big year under Oats and improve his stock a lot.


Definitely in agreement with that. I think he'll look a lot more like what he was at Texas. I wouldn't worry about the NBA thing, he's a solid player, but he won't get good enough feedback to see it all the way through. I don't blame him for testing it though.

I was really more worried about him being a guy that was going to graduate early and go somewhere else. I'm glad there's been no noise about that.

Well...none that have a relationship with Trendon.

Charlie Henry was an assistant with Fred Hoiberg's Bulls and also the HC of the Bulls G-League affiliate.

Nah,Watford is a 5* but he aint a 1 and Done. Probably a 2 year guy.


Watford upside potential is probably arpund Dedric Lawson from KU (via Memphis)

While that's a damn good CBB player, that also is a 4 yr player unless he accepts not going lotto

Before One and Done became a thing around 2003, all types of players declared early----folks that had no business declaring. Shea Cotton, anyone? H3ll, Gerald Wallace barely made the first round (and ended up on arguably the best NBA team to never win the title.).

If the Watford kid doesn't want to be here, next up. We will be fine.

Exactly. How many five stars played in Monday's night game? Maryland won an nc in 2002 w/o five stars, the list goes on.

Pearl signed a 5 year extension with AU

$3.8mil + annual $125k raises as the base. I'm guessing addtl performance incentives too. Buyout is $8mil both sides.

Looks like Pearl & Oats will match up in the thunderdome for years to come

I see a lot of 92-88 type games in the future of the hoops Iron Bowl.

I was at the 49-37 game. That was a test of my fandom of college basketball.

Not only was that not exciting, it was absolutely trash basketball

If we miss on Watford and land Bolden AND Rojas, I’m still gonna be VERY excited about this season. Even tho we can’t put too much into Juco stats, Rojas was a Juco All American and Bolden is a legit PG who has a career high 43 points in a game

I agree. Bolden, or a player with his skill set is a must get imo. I hope he commits tomorrow.

Once met a dude from Cullman when I was in college. Didn't sound like a place I would want to be at.
