Maybe if he wouldn’t look completely lost he’d get more than 2 minutes.

Everyone on this team (possibly not Azab, but it’s clear he’s not ready) has had an opportunity to show their skill. It’s obvious we need another guard so Martin won’t have to play 40 minutes/game. If Rhodes was effective, he’d get a sh!t ton of minutes this year.

Maybe he’ll get more opportunities, maybe not. Sort of reminds me of Nickelberry. Just doesn’t seem ready to play at this leve, yet.. Fortunately for Nickelberry, he’s got three more years to get there.

One thing is for sure: Coaches always keep their best players on the bench....just to show that they are boss

I do not know. It is a bit odd. I thought Parks looked like a guy who would not get minutes at some high schools for the first half of the year but Tubby stuck with him and let him develop. I watch Thornton and am not impressed at all. I am not sure what he brings to the table other than a player who does not have to be defended but Tubby sticks with him. Given that, you might as well give Malik actual minutes and let him see if he can develop...

Yesterday, the Memphis athletic dept reported that one of our walk-ons ...walked off.

Graduated.


No biggie. We just need enough for practice purposes.

Welll...the fact that Rhodes tweeted that 'message' makes him look like a nonTubby kind of player.

I guess Tubby will never know unless someone tells him, though.

Does this EVER Work?

Can you name one time where complaining about playing got more playing time?

I can think of several cases of the opposite happening.

Now his mom is saying it’s a Fake account

She seemed confused, saying he doesn't have a twitter account. Except that the tweet is by someone else showing lik's IG account.

Not like Tubby uses twitter or IG so this will fall on deaf ears.

If it's Rhodes, he has nothing to lose by doing it--or so he thinks.

A head coach otter not let his players fall into that hole.

For the record: Malik Rhodes has the highest turnover percentage, lowest FG percentage and lowest 3pt percentage on the team. He may deserve another chance to prove himself, but there's a reason he's "in the dog house."

There were 408 high school prospects ranked higher than Rhodes and he was the #62 ranked juco...the last juco ranked on 247. So, what you have in Rhodes is the #470 player in his class.

Tubby was highly criticized by most for signing Rhodes. If you sign Rhodes you need to develop him the same as you would any other first year player. He is taking up an important spot on the roster the same as Azab, who wasn't ranked at all.

If you want the team to be better, you have to play him at least a bit more to take some of the load off of Martin. Rhodes isn't a horrible ball handler, but he is much too aggressive and erratic shooting and passing. Reign him in and get him to play as mistake free as possible and he isn't a disaster.

Rhodes was a freebie. He didn’t cost Memphis anything. My guess is that he’ll move on after this year.

Pretty much everyone has had a chance to prove themselves. When you get your chance and don’t produce, you get a seat on the bench.

Hopefully, Rudd and Bowen will take this approach with Tubby, or Tubby will take it upon himself to leave.

The staff was better off not taking Rhodes if they figured that he was not going to contribute, and the same goes with Azab. We would be much better off having the two extra scholarships.

Also, Rhodes' stats per minute and shooting percentages are pretty close to Thornton, Nickleberry and Johnson's.

So when you say he was a freebie and he didn't cost us anything, of course everyone here can just assume the exact opposite is true based on your sterling track record.

Rhodes wasn’t signed on athletic scholarship. Do some research, it might help you not look so stupid.

Azab? Can’t explain that.

Nick and Johnson are freshman players getting experience. Rhodes really isn’t a player that will be a big part of the team.

Tubby needs to play Nickelberry more. He may not be there defensively but he has the best court vision on the team.

Malik unfortunately just isn't good.

I think Nickelberry might be a good 4 year player, he’s a real liability out there now.

So we sacrifice talent for “Tubby guys” ...who aren’t really Tubby guys.

Gotta play somebody. At least he's a freshman with potential.

What's going on? Either make something happen NOW or build for the FUTURE. I don't see much of either.......
