Folks in Lexington think James Wiseman might be Karl Towns 2.0, and he loves that idea. We talked Kentucky, what happens if Penny gets a college gig and whether a reclassification is on the table. https://www.seccountry.com/kentucky/kent...at-big-man …

I wonder how many minutes Tubby Saul and company invested in recruiting Wiseman?

Folks that really think hiring Penny will bring Wiseman to Memphis are quite wishful.

Just reminded he's a Nashville kid, so ...

BTW - will Tubby and the boys finally get their first Memphis area player this year?

Yeah, it's not like he's a homegrown Memphis kid.

If Penny can’t get Wiseman why hire him? Not trying to be an *** but I any coach who took this job and gave a crap could close the other kids. It’s the kids like Wiseman that would potentially change the program overnight.

Penny the Memphis head coach?

Jeffries, C. Lawson, J. Lawson, Dandridge

Getting players like that would be great, but IMO, the aim should be kids between 50-150. We should be in the game for any of those recruits.

Right. Are we even going to get Harris?

Penny isnt a college coach right now so its not like that idea can be on his radar. He wouldnt have any choice but to atleast listen if he were hired.

It is like some of you didn't even read the article. Wiseman said that Penny would make him reconsider if he became coach.

No, I read the article. Hiring Penny would simply not make UK 100%. Doesn't mean he still won't go there.

And that Momma Wiseman adores Penny. Always good to have momma in your corner.

If he is and it's only one year that's fine. Cause finally other top recruits will see memphis as a destination again.

If he reclassifies, he will have to spend 2 years in college due to his age.
