memphis roster was built on the presumption it could make 1 and done players and that a few of your players would go unto draft boards... memphis has flopped, no one on memphis is getting draft buzz and memphis has recruited over them

your premise about baugh, thomas and boogie transferring , nolley and williams declaring was my point that memphis has to figure out how to lose players, you are over the limit, something has to happen.. everyone in Memphis cant decide to come back even if they wanted (ps Nolley is only 20 not 24-- and has draft potential even if he came back if he was successful)

Stokes is no longer suspended. He was kicked out of school permanently and his scholarship was revoked. He will not be readmitted. That happened after Penny's last public comment. There was an admin meeting, and Penny wasn't running it. Two days later, Stokes was out.

Beyond that you are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Jayden can easily come off scholly and be a walk on. With Stokes and Rand gone, that only means we have to make room for one more person.

When I said turn pro, I didn't say NBA. Nobody on our team will ever play in the NBA, IMO. But I think Nolley and Williams will leave.

I guarantee at least one of Nolley, Williams, Ellis, Baugh & Thomas won't return. We rarely have a year where nobody transfers out. I can't recall the last one.

So, there is no issue at all.

What's ironic is, I didn't take issue with your bottom line prediction, only the idea that a lot of people have to go. Nope. Only one more has to go.
