Some news: Keelon Lawson will remain at Memphis in a support staff role, Tubby Smith says. Lawson confirms. Story posting now.
I imagine he probably got a good bump in pay
All's well that ends well -- win / win.

Does this mean they got a waiver?

This!!!
But the AC he hires better not be Saul...
Damn...It appears to be Saul.
WTF
Saul got a nice promotion from video coordinator. SMH.
Not one recruiter on this staff.
CA >>>
...As the father of prospects, NCAA rules appear to prohibit Keelon from working in a support staff role within two years of the enrollment of his sons. But Memphis athletic officials are confident they will be granted a waiver on that rule by the NCAA, allowing Smith to move Keelon into a support staff position.
"I'm cool because it ain't about me. It's all about go Tigers. It's all about Memphis-born, Memphis-bred and when I die I'll be Memphis dead," Keelon said this afternoon. "And my boys love being here in Memphis. Never once did I say that I was gonna take them away from here. I was just trying to figure out what's going on. Just tell me what's going on so we can move forward. My boys want to be here and they want to be Tigers."...

Did they threaten HIM with a mid-season firing next year? What a peculiar change of heart, huh? Everybody's got a price, and it sounds like they found his.
Better Call Saul.. what a great lawyer!
A lotta Lawson haters need to apologize.

Like any business deal with most any employee --- it's a mutual benefit.
Awesome! Now, let's get some more bodies that can shoot and play defense.

Who's going to recruit them?
Tubby wins. He looks like the man in charge and gets what he wants, Dedric and KJ(possibly Chandler) but also Keelon's Memphis connections.

The Texas Tech people will tell you that Pooh is the recruiter.
