Yay, Tubby's about to resign!

Interesting...we'll see. 2 more years.

Seriously.

@_JonahJordan "We just couldn't get him through the NCAA to play this year. He trimmed down." Smith on Azab. Down from 265 from 300 and is a hard worker.

I wonder if Jonah just worded this wrong - did he mean "with" or "from"? The latter indicates the staff is just sitting around by the phones.

@_JonahJordan Memphis has had a couple of contacts from graduate transfers.

I do not see a lot of positives in this post. Markel possibly leaving, wasted a schollie on ineligible player. Keelon returning is blah, unless Chandler and compny are guaranteed to sign.....

Mama Lawson has said just because Keelon works for Memphis is no guarantee that Chandler will sign with Memphis.

Not sure if Mama Lawson understands how this works...
