With zero evidence.

We currently have 10 people on scholly, including Jayden Hardaway, who is currently slated to go walk-on. Not counting Jordan Nesbitt who showed up this semester but didn't play much and didn't make the trip to Texas.

Of those 10, just one article today mentioned that the following could transfer out:

Boogie
Jeffries
Cisse
Baugh
Dandridge
Nolley

The only ones they deem "safe" are Lomax and Hardaway, lol. And "maybe" Quinones.

Then at the end, he mentions Williams could leave, too. Which seems to be the obvious one.

So 7 of the 10 on roster. Again, with absolutely zip to go on besides speculation for the other 6.

At least we have the #6 class coming in, but I think only one potential early impact player, Josh Minott.

So worst case, per the Daily Memphian, is we have 3 returnees off the current roster, plus 4 freshmen for next year, as of now.

We'll see. I wouldn't have such an issue with it if they had the slightest bit of fact to go on for the 6, but they don't.

Who exactly is "they". I'm 66 years old and "they" in Memphis is usually full of ****.

In fact I can't remember the last time anyone in the know in Memphis was right predicting anything.

Just a bunch of cackling geese hoping for a scoop or bad news so they can get a "I told ya so, or I was first, or I was right".

It will never change there. They drink that **** up.

"They" for this article is Geoff Calkins. He is a good writer, but gets major scoops wrong on a regular basis.
