He's convinced SEVEN 4-5 stars to come play next season. Hmmm.

Plus the #2 transfer on their list.

And Memphis fans rail on Wade for cheating to get Watford

I mean, he is probably cheating like everyone else but this was what he was brought in to do. It really isn't surprising with his connections.

Some guys are really really good recruiters. Penny Hardaway is no slouch and neither is Will Wade, they both know how to get shite done.

With how busy the NCAA is gonna be with Arizona and then LSU, Memphis will have a few more years to keep cheating their balls off before getting chopped too.

The money in Memphis is flowing more freely than during the Calipari days. Honestly never seen anything like it

Out of those 7 commits, only 1 is outside the top 100 and he is the 108th player in the country lol. He isnt even kindve hiding it. Were these kids even alive when Penny Hardway was good at Basketball?

Why wouldn't I wanna go play for a college basketball & NBA icon like Penny?

Memphis is a cool little city, Penny has had AAU teams, middle school and HS championship teams. He's gonna build a juggernaut there. Watch.

There is more to it than what he did as an NBA player. His connections within the AAU circuit are bigger than that.

I bet it's more likely he underperforms this year, loses a ton of these kids, and ends up like Avery

What's in place to prevent programs from running freaking wild? Just lay it all out there, wheel and deal with the runners/agents/financial advisers, etc. get momma paid and gather as many studs as they can, right?

Let's also consider Penny took what was a decent Memphis team from last year and did basically nothing better with this past season.

2017-18 Memphis = 21-13, 10-8 AAC, didn't make tourney
2018-19 Memphis = 22-14, 11-7 AAC, also didn't make tourney

They returned 4 starters, and had 5 senior starters on the team this year.

We'll see if he can coach as well as he recruits.

He'll have no excuses for his 12 loss AAC season

Obviously he needed to blow it out in recruiting, he has to show improvement and it looks like he's loading up on weapons.

Ehh, if he keeps collecting that kind of talent his bosses will give him some time for it to translate to the hardwood.
