You must be in permanent hibernation with your head stuck in a lower cavity.

The only explanation for your odiferous and intellectually vacuous ruminations

Finally, a sentence I can understand.

Dedric cannot play the three spot in college so that lineup isn't even possible. Kj can

That's what I've been wondering, which of them could play the SF slot, I haven't seen them play. Better have quick feet, a soft shot and put the ball on the floor.

As for the Sweet 16...I'm not even gonna touch that one

Kedren was never All-SEC tho...but your point is still valid.

I heard one of the assistant coaches on 56 for just a second this morning, he said they were after a PG, goal #1. Someone who could distribute the ball and score. He also said they might take a 2 guard if they could find what they needed. I got out of the car after that so I didn't hear the rest of the interview.

You guys are funny with your basketball "knowledge".

I don't think it takes much knowledge to know that Dedric is a four or five and not a three. KJ is the three. Not that it really matters but there are plenty if people who know basketball and have played it watched it and coached it for their whole life. Just to dismiss people because they have no official titles. Memphis fans know basketball and are well informed. It's pretty much all we have had our entire lives and many live and die by Tiger basketball. Silly or not it's the truth. I don't think it matters if he plays the three or four as long as he's on the court. He does t have the handles to be a three though. Will be one of those stretch fours like a Taggart prob a better player though obviously.

I thought Broddie was reclassifying to the class of 2016.

I thought it was the other way around, he was class of 2016 and reclassified to 2015 just like Detric.

I guess he is 2016 with Nick Marshall. We have broddie coming in but a three star freshman prob won't be able to start or contribute heavily I wouldn't think but I guess u never know. We got a great front line next year sad we have no guards to play with them. We could be really big next year Kedren and Markel are both good size guards. KJ, Dedric, Shaq and Austin all have good size and King as well if he stays. I don't think King plays over KJ though. Our front line is our strength just need a capable guard to run the show. I don't know if there is one out there though. Kedren is average if he would just be more consistent.

Not sure we ever get anything out of Marshall. Marginal player who is 7 ft and has marginal grades.

I think you've got it bass ackwards

I saw the Lawsons on Friday, they are as advertised, KJ is better than I thought, if you all think Austin is skilled wait to you see the Lawsons, one the most impressive things I saw Friday was the point guard for Blackman was hurting Hamilton in the first quarter, Todd day put KJ on him, locked him down defensively, Blackman was done after that, hard for me to say this but KJ is better than Nick he will be starting by the middle of the season or be our top reserve and Dedric is going to be a PRO!!!

Temper expectations.


The Lawsons are good players, but they'll have to adjust to not being the tallest, most skilled guys on the court. I have my doubts about their ability to play the 3 right away
