I love it.

Sounds very mature. I'm going to steal that quote.

I believe that quote was from Verties Sails at the end of the show, not from Dedric.

It was

Dedric interview on Fox...he loves him some Tigers

http://www.myfoxmemphis.com/story/260719...at-memphis

Article excerpt:
Dedric Lawson “officially” committed to play at Memphis after a weekend of rumors and reports at the Nike Peach Jam Tournament. Lawson is a consensus top 10 prospect in the class of 2016 and is the highest rated recruit to commit to Memphis in years.

Interesting - and going back and using the 247 Sports Composite Ratings by year, he is....here's the top 7, all post-Calipari

Dedric Lawson
Adonis Thomas
Will Barton
Joe Jackson
Austin Nichols
Shaq Goodwin
KJ Lawson

I know it's been a while, but I seem to recall Elliot Perry committing to "the University of Memphis State" back in the day. It happens.

He did say Tiger Nation a couple thoughts later...and that's what it is. He is committing to Tiger Nation. We extend way beyond the UofM.

For kids who grew up in Memphis and dreamed of being a Tiger, seems a surprising lack of awareness.

Maybe the surprising lack of awareness is more on our side of the fence....He was mentally and emotionally exhausted from 8 games in 4 days, a horrible call that ended their hopes and a 2 AM arrival back home after a long drive.

I watched some of the Team Penny game, hard to tell who was who without names on the back of jerseys. Some good ball players on that team.

Welcome Lawson boys.

Joining Will Barton on the illustrious list of national championship predictors.

"Are you going to bring the championship home to Memphis, son? " Some fool asks.

"No, not me, sir, " Player answers.



*shrug* The question only has one answer.

Especially since he just played for 1.

Part of the fun of this place is seeing some of the weird stuff posters get hung up on...
