Quote:
"I've been contacting them," Kessee said of Memphis. "In the process of setting up a visit."
Nothing in the article mentioned that we were not calling him.
Yes, and nothing in the article mentions that we are. That's why I put a question mark after that parenthetical phrase. Is he somebody we are actually after? You seem to know.
Another quote from the article:
"Coppin State graduate transfer Christian Kessee is working to set up a visit with the University of Memphis, he told The Commercial Appeal late Sunday night."

Just out of thin air *googled Memphis athletic department*, "I'm gonna call Memphis b/c they could use me".
Crazy
Even if that was the case, which is unlikely. There are literally thousands of recruits out there, it would be impossible to contact every single one. I am sure the staff is actively recruiting...

Haven't you heard? According to MTO, Tubby and the boys are sipping Mai Tais by the pool, celebrating their golden parachute, whereas every other coach in America is employing interns to ensure that every single grad transfer is called and begged to come play at their university.
I did a little research, and much to my sheer horror, it appears that MTO was correct. Recruits have been calling Tubby and his staff left and right. There are rumors of a video showing Tubby and his staff looking at the Caller ID, realizing it's a recruit, looking at each other, and then bursting out laughing. The video purportedly then shows the boys taking shots and wiping their mouths with $100 bills all while giving each other air high fives. An unnamed MTO source claims that Tubby is too old and doesn't have the fire in his belly for a real high five, so the staff agreed upon the lower maintenance air high fives.
Further research shows that Tubby and staff have now focused all their efforts on preventing this video from surfacing. Unfortunately, local sports media hasn't had time to look into this. Gary Parrish would have, but he was too busy talking about some stupid thing he did 10 years ago because of how drunk he was.
So the Onion sent a news crew to ask Tubby about his recruiting efforts, and here is his response:
I wish I had better news to report, my friends, but it looks like all we can do is weep and gnash our teeth.
