Obviously you don't want seniors transferring.

Freshmen, sophomores, juniors?

By all means.

Read on Rivals yesterday that Nickelberry missed classes and workouts and was wanting out

Thanks mairving. The article mentions about 4 open scholarships now, with Lomax getting one and Crabtree in the running. No mention of Harris. Interesting.

Harris’s dad said to Jason Smith something about not wanting to go somewhere where there’s multiple QBs....That he wants Tyler to be the main guy. That pretty much means Baylor I’d assume.

Which is fine. You don’t want two sub-6 foot kids in the backcourt. Lomax and Harris are both good, but wouldn’t be good together. It would have been like Joe Jackson and Chris Jones on the same team, too much of a defensive liability. You need some size.

Other than J Martin, Tubby’s entire roster stunk as evidenced by no postseason in two years.

Who else is leaving?

"Memphis men’s basketball coach Tubby Smith stood in front of freshman David Nickelberry’s parents on Wednesday night engaged in a lengthy conversation once the Tigers finished off their 86-74 WIN at South Florida.

So Nickelberry’s parents drove down from his hometown of Orlando, Fla., and, once the 6-foot-6 wing logged nine minutes and scored his first field goal in more than three weeks, discussed what was happening with Smith.

'I’m one of those guys, I am who I am,' Smith said minutes later. 'You’re going to toe the line, you’re going to play the right way, or you just leave. I hate to say it.'"

I wish Nickelberry well at his new school.

From a practical perspective, his transfer is a problem only if Penny does not find someone to duplicate or improve upon his production or it harms the APR.

I’ll bet you Penny has a Grad transfer lined up

Thanks for the example.

Chris Jones and Joe Jackson.

Alex Lomax and Tyler Harris.

Kind of similar.

Chris and Joe could have played well together.

So could Tyler and Alex.

Joe and Chris were both good defenders as well.

Jones had a little more dog in him and Joe scored a little more.

Jones went JUCO and almost ended up back in Memphis.

Ended up at Louisville and did well.

It just depends on whether the last holdouts can adjust to the fact that Penny is our new coach; and thankfully, the old one is gone.

I'm fully expecting GopherTubby to ease on down the road at some point.
I haven't seen bcspiker since Tubby was fired.

What about the kid who was a Xavier commit who averaged 17 and 9 last year with 2 years eligibility left?

Hopefully you, the forum would benefit greatly by your departure.

Yep with Russ Smith beside him.

Always out of position Nickleberry...

Best of luck on your journey.

There's always somebody pissing in the Cheerios.

It's a shame that they're upset.

Whoa, now. Don't drag me into this. Think you got the wrong person.

We don't need anyone who isn't gonna buy into Penny's program.

I never understood some fans' fascination with him. He's not athletic, can't shoot, can't guard, and had a terrible attitude on the court. Glad he's gone.

I wish him well. I thought he would be a contributor moving forward.

It's hard to miss someone you never got to know.

He almost never got playing time, which means he probably wasn't showing much in practice.....? Or he wasn't a Tubby player...?

He had a cousin we wanted is all I remember.

OK I just did a search and this was on the front page. lol

Lay Off Tubby! Things you don't know right now!!!! - CSNbbs

David Nickleberry is gonna be a Major Showstopper at Memphis....He is a combo of Penny. T-Mac as it gets....He has MORE Game than D J Jefferies Truth....David Nickleberry is gonna be our next Major Star as a Tiger and His Cousin Josh Nickleberry is another great one.....Wake up and get a clue....#The World Is Ours Memphis.....
