Hurt is big time. It would be awesome if Penny/Mike landed this kid.

Miller has strong relationship and has had personal workouts with Hurt. Memphis is currently behind though and will need to make up ground consensus has been that Memphis is in the running but behind the pack.

Yep. Being behind is based on timing of the Penny hire basically.

I like what I was reading about if any players are wanting him to play with them..
Good article, thanks. Big take away would seem to be Watford selling Memphis to Hurt. Pretty cool.
"You hear about guys who like to try and recruit a bit out here, is there anybody trying to do that with you?
Trendon (Watford) is, he’s talking about Memphis, Alex (Lomax) too, there’s different guys.
Your dad mentioned prior to the spring weekends that you have a long-term relationship with Mike Miller who is now on the Memphis staff, how has that relationship evolved now that they are recruiting you?
We were close before he took the job, and I think they are trying to build a new culture there and trying to build the program back up, and I think they will do that and in the next couple of years they will be a household name in college basketball. Me personally I’ve gotten closer with the staff there.
How much does the prior relationship with Coach Miller affect your thought process towards Memphis now that they are recruiting you?
Yeah he was at a lot of my games and he’s worked out with a lot of these guys before so he has that NBA experience and that’s my ultimate goal. I think with them adding Sam Mitchell also that if you work hard everyday, they know what that means because they have experience at the highest level in the NBA, and they could develop me well.
How are you thinking through that staff’s NBA background in comparison to other programs who don’t have the coaches with NBA coaching backgrounds but who do have experience in developing a lot of guys who have played in the pros?
Yeah I think Memphis has those coaches that have played or coached in the NBA at the highest level, so they have that. But I also think that there are a lot of college coaches who have great minds and can help you get to the next level too.

2019 is going to be good. That being said, Jonah Jordan crystal balled Watford to Alabama yesteday

RE: Watching Hurt
Will be very interesting to see how the staff is able to close on some of these guys. Not saying it will be entirely indicative going forward, but will be interesting to see.

RE: Watching Hurt
I think the formula that works best for Penny, due to his close connections to the Memphis players and respect they and their families have for him is to 1) sign the best players in Memphis that fit into his plans and 2) add a few players from other areas that will blend in with the Memphis players. The Finch, Robinson, Kenon recruiting formula may be the one that works best for Penny. I see Penny not having the same kind of problems with Memphis players and their families that it is alleged Cal had.
