MyBB La Tech commit reopens recruitment after Memphis offer
PG Jeremiah Martin out of Mitchell HS in Memphis

@BleedTechBlue: #LaTech commitment @_JeremiahMartin has reopened his recruitment. #Memphis recently offered the talented PG from Memphis. @Bryan_Rivals

Quote:Jeremiah Martin, who was named Class A Mr. Basketball after leading Mitchell to its second straight state title last month, has decommitted from Louisiana Tech.

"This has nothing to do with La. Tech ... but everything to do with guaranteeing that I am making the right decision for my future," Martin said in a statement posted on Twitter.

The late signing period for basketball begins April 15.

Can see both sides of argument. However, with Memphis basketball kind of a dumpster fire lately, LT seems safer bet to me. Up to him, tho

With Pookie Powell transferring, we now have room for Martin.

Might be a good move. I saw him as being our 3rd or 4th PG next season. We're recruiting too many guards. Hopefully we replace him with someone who is 6-10 240.

This kid needs to do what is best for him. I read the letter he posted and it was done with class. It appears he is caught in the middle of two sides pulling him in two directions. I pray he makes the right choice for him and not others, even if that means going to Memphis State.

RE: La Tech commit reopens recruitment after Memphis offer
Memphis didn't have a spot for him, so we didn't offer...he accepted an offer from La Tech (verbal, not an LOI)...Pookie Powell (PG) and Nick King (F) transfer from Memphis...Memphis now has room for him, and the young man reopens recruitment.

now everyone is up to speed.

Yes, after 4 straight NCAA tourneys (106 wins in 4 seasons), Memphis had a down season by only winning 18 games.

with the kids Pastner has signed, and his perfect APR, he'll get another season.

I don't think it's that simple..or he would've decommitted sooner.

#LATech PG commitment @_JeremiahMartin was recently offered by his hometown #Memphis Tigers but says he's still committed to Tech.

RE: La Tech commit reopens recruitment after Memphis offer
The player says he just received an offer, but I'm sure he knew one was coming. It's a double edged sword with Memphis players. Some do better away from the pressure of playing for the hometown team and others thrive on the rock star status. Hope he makes the decision that's best for him.

That was quick. Jeremiah Martin just told me he just now received an offer from Josh Pastner and Memphis. Big step in this process.

I just hope the kid makes the right decision based on what he wants to do and not what someone else wants. If that's go to Tech, great for us. If it's go to Memphis, I hope it works out for him and is what he wants.

I think Hamilton should start at PG since he's been playing there behind speedy. Let a young guy play behind Hamilton for a year. I figured that young guy would be Derric Jean or Dayon Griffin while Martin redshirts...I could be wrong though.

If Martin ends up at Tech he starts from day 1.

If Martin ends up at Memphis he starts from day 1.

He has tons of talent and is extremely underrated.

Boggles my mind that Pastner is still there. I can't believe the Memphis faithful haven't chased him out yet. He was given a situation on a silver platter.....and has been very average at best for Memphis basketball standards.

before this admittedly disappointing season Pastner took us to 4 straight NCAAs, 106 wins over those 4 season (26.5 Ws per season), all while running a clean program.

With the recruiting class he has signed, and his contract, he will get next season.

Dang. Well, either we missed on a Memphis guard or Memphis got a La Tech guard. Fine line. Good luck to Jeremiah!
