I saw half of that Memphis East team play last night and WOW they are stacked. Wiseman is 100% a UK or Duke kid and future top 5 draft pick. Dandridge looked good too. Wasn't as impressed with Chandler Lawson with everything i've heard about him, he is good, but didn't stand out. Lomax is a real athletic PG and seems to be a good distributor/energy guy. Didn't see him shoot much. Also, thought Boyce was solid. Shocked UAB landed him.
None of those kids are going to Memphis....even with Penny coaching the team. That's how bad Tubby is at recruiting.
I haven't really been a "Hire Penny" guy...but this year? COME ON DOWN PENNY! Save us Penny!
I'm not really a hire Penny guy either because I saw what happened at Houston under Drexler.
But man, it cant get much worse than drawing 1,000 people to a Tiger basketball game.

Penny would be an interesting hire for Memphis, but i'm not convinced he would be a great coach. The history of great players that turned into great coaches is spotty at best.
He would certainly be able to recruit locally though and with a good X & O assistant he would probably do well.
Quote:Dressed in a black, long-sleeved Wichita State basketball shirt, Alex Lomax, WSU’s guest of honor for Saturday’s game against Oklahoma, was disappointed to see a hot shooting performance down his future team in a 91-83 loss to the Sooners at Intrust Bank Arena.
Lomax, a four-star point guard from Memphis and the prized final piece of Gregg Marshall’s finest recruiting class, is used to winning. He’s won everywhere he’s been and none more than at Memphis East, where Lomax is the floor general for the No. 1 high school team in the country.
So as Lomax headed into WSU’s locker room following defeat, he was curious what he would see and hear. He came away impressed from the experience.
The future is very bright for Wichita. So goes your PG, so goes your team. We had 4 years of a nationally ranked PG in VanVleet, then came nationally ranked Shamet, and now Lomax.
P.S. Lomax never comes to Wichita if he wasn't assured Marshall's feet were in concrete. The AAC is assured of at least a few more years of pain.

You act like we want Marshall gone. We brought you guys here to be relevant for more than one season. I hope next years rebuild/reload is a good squad too (if you lose Shamet w/ the seniors). Y’all lose a lot of experienced talent. We don’t need more “we used to be really good” in the conference.
I like Lomax. Needs work on his jumper though.
Shamet has been good, but has been inconsistent so far and with how our offense doesn't emphasis one player, I don't think you will see him shoot up the leaderboards. I'm hopeful for 1 more year of him and McDuffie to go along with our incoming class. It will be a step back just because the frontcourt will be entirely new, but having a solid backcourt will help.
I would love for ShamWow's stock to slip just a bit. I know it's selfish of me but likely won't come true. After a season in the AAC, I've got to believe he'll be on everybody's radar. He hasn't even shown the world much of his insane vertical. He's a SportsCenter top 10 every night if he wants to be with those hops.

Many on this board want Marshall gone. I would go as far as to say the majority of non-WSU fans.
Really? I don’t see why. As an SMU fan I love that WSU is good. Another chance for a quality win. Didn’t love last years situation, even though we won the conference. We want to be in a 4 bid minimum type league every year. Marshall leaving doesn’t help that cause. WSU is stacked this year, but clearly not unbeatable and we aren’t shaking in our boots to play you guys this year or going forward. Playing legit teams makes the season all the more fun and is better for us and this conference.

Jank is...

We shall see. Jank has come along way since Ill St and has much better teams.
Last time Marshall and Jank faced each other, Jank resorted to using such dirty tactics that Marshall went into a rampage and he accused multiple people of running a conspiracy against Wichita State. Rather than deal with the revenge ass whooping that was surely coming his way, Jank abandoned his home and job and ran away to Texas with his tail between his legs.
