So if one happens you lose?

Just making sure...

If I bet 100 dollars that one of those happens...You'll take the bet? lol

Are you forgetting KJ was Vitale's Diaper Dandy Dude of the year?

UN-FRECKIN-BELIEVABLE !!!

What an embarrassment for Memphis and the Memphis Basketball program. I know Tubby is cleaning house and a lot of folks are upset about it but I just don't have any support for Tubby at the moment. I think he needs to go.

That was just for the AAC. Not national - or B12 either, lol.

"Keelon Lawson tells @GaryParrishCBS that if Memphis had kept him in assistant coaching role, Dedric and KJ would be coming back to Memphis."

Sorry if his tweet has been posted already, but I have not seen the situation so plainly stated.

The genesis of the talent drain now and in the future can be primarily traced to Tubby's demotion of Keelon and elevation of the coach's son.

It will make Tubby's job to return our school to the NCAA Tourney and win games much more difficult, but he owns the whirlwind he sowed.

Good points. Dedric wanted to go to UK, but when daddy got the job, he came here. And they would both still be here if daddy still had the job - even though fans have been calling KJ the n-word and the h-word (halibut? I'm still struggling). But he's always done everything for the children - that and social security. He is truly all over the place. Between these revelations and Dedra, it's easy to see where KJ gets his personality. Miracle that Dedric is as laid back as he is.

And I'm not sure the talent drain started there. Seems like it started about 4 years ago, and continues unchecked. In fact, I think some of it probably can be attributed to the hiring of Keelon to begin with.

Regardless, you're absolutely right - Tubby owns it now.

I'm still ok with the lawsons leaving. I just read today's CA article by calkins.

It sounds like keelon is upset about losing his position. Those who are in charge and bowen are to blame for not keeping their word. The word was keelon gets to remain in his position regardless of who is hired. Those in charge should have made that clear to any potential coach before hiring them. Apparently, that was not clear as we saw when tubby first got here.

I haven't heard tubby's side yet. There's always two sides of a story. Maybe tubby was told he could do what he wanted and never told about keeping lawson at his current position.

I don't really buy the lawson's excuse to leave memphis. Keelon sounds butthurt, so he is hurting the u of m by taking his sons elsewhere. If he had remained in his position and told the bus had left, the lawsons would have stayed here.

Keelon is lying or just dumb when he says in today's CA article that he didn't know players would transfer from josh pastner. Players were already transferring at an alarming rate BEFORE the lawsons even signed on.

Keelon was just dumb to let his kids sign with josh pastner to start with. There is no way he can say that was good for his kid's bball careers. It was already proven at that point that josh was a clown coach. However, keelon got his job and the kids signed up.

KJ lawson is lying like his dad. His tweet meant exactly what it said.

The younger lawsons are not going to come to memphis no matter what the dad says.

You don't get the right to use "memphis born, memphis bred, memphis until i'm dead" when your services had to be bought. The lawsons kids will not have a lot of fans in memphis throughout their career. All because of good old dad.


I guarantee you kansas PAID something for keelon's sons to come there.
