Tarrant should be looking forward to our game with Tulane.

Please have reasonable expectations for the kid.

I agree, he is coming off of injuries is he not?

I hope you're right, otherwise, we need to put you on suicide watch.

Next year is Pastner's last regardless. If he wins big, he'll take a good job somewhere else. If he loses big, he gets fired. Either way, I do not believe he will be here in 2016.

It's no longer a issue. The medical staff here checked on it and he's good to go

No one seems to know if he had the knee surgery yet that was scheduled when he was shut down in Feb.

Hoping injuries were a factor, but in January (8 games) he shot 30% from three and had 20 turnovers and 18 assists.

It was a foot injury

ESPN Story

"Tarrant missed the last two months of the season after suffering a ruptured plantar fascia against Florida in January, and he also needed surgery on his left knee."

Haha.

He needed it. But did he get it?

Two different things.

We'll be in much better shape at PG next year.

I think JM was a minute sooner, but that's going from my Twitter feed. But whatever :) - no big deal.

Alabama transfer Ricky Tarrant told ESPN he has committed to Memphis.

I couldn't resist-I posted this on 4/18 in "How to improve Board" thread, post 50:

Problem is not the mods. It's the posters who "are saying the same thing over and over, in multiple threads." That's why I'm taking a break even though I have been fortunate in that I can sometimes provide inside info.

But past 6 months or so even a good post will get derailed by those repetitors. For instance, they don't care that I posted that Tarrant was very likely coming to Memphis yesterday which I consider big news. Left it up approx 6 hours without one comment but arguing about Pastner continued along with comments about Black (NTR).

I think I will not feel irritated, stupefied, etc when I stop reading this forum and same basic argument stated 1,000 different ways .

Adios.

We have 2 freshmen with 0 D1 experience, a wlak-on, and a transfer who has some question marks. Seems to me unless Kedren returns and is in shape, we are in the exact same shape as last year.

He's probably a shorter version of Penny.

We will? I don't know that this guy really helps us that much at PG. He looks like an inefficient gunner to me (5 three point shots a game when he shot under .300? Really?) when what we need is someone that can run an offense.

We'll see.

Bull$hit.

A taller version of Wagner.

With all due respect, that's not saying much.

Touché. He does seem to be a volume shooter.
