Well to all other schools...there has been a wall erected around the Memphis Metro. Coach Penny can do quite well grabbing 2-3 kids a year from the Memphis area and supplement with players nationwide.

There are still going to be players from Memphis available. The top local players seem likely to stay home for at least the next few years but there will likely be more D1 level talent than roster spots for the Tigers.

Maybe even some for Wichita if Marshall doesn't act like a hardhead.

A few of our fans are stirred up. Probably due to Memphis fans rubbing the possibility of losing Lomax in our faces the last two weeks.

You made a comment in the other basketball thread that football is paying the bills so basketball doesn’t matter.

After you made that statement on your own accord, I’m asking you why are you spending so much energy talking about basketball and defending vacated wins when there’s more important spring football to talk about? Basketball is virtually meaningless.

Is this jogging your memory yet or are you still gonna wave the white flag and act like you can’t understand English?

Because I dont give a crap about players getting paid. It should be done above board but the NCAA is an immoral, corrupt cartel that uses unpaid labor to create billions of revenue. I dont give a crap if our wins have been vacated, or USC footballs wins were vacated because players earned money for themselves.

As far as you personal attacks, you take those in the smack forum. I dont have the time or care for them. And they have been reported.

Now, go away troll.

I don’t care for your deflection of your vacated wins. They don’t exist so why even argue?

I’m still perplexed why you’re here talking basketball things when there’s spring football to talk about. We were discussing basketball in the other thread and you swooped in and declared that football pays the bills, rendering basketball unimportant.

Personal attacks? lol where?

This isn’t an attack but a truth when I say you have come out looking like a 4 year old screaming that he can’t hear anything, while at the same time blabbering non sensible jargon, running to mommy to make all the meanies go away.

I'm not sure where I got personal attacks from.

Reported and on ignore list. Our time is up.

Next time, don't spout stuff you can't back up or don't mean. Lesson learned the hard way.

You seemed to be disturbed with Wichita from Day 1.

Get used to it.

Agree. Memphis historical advantage is that the city has always been a hotbed for local BB talent.

Larry Finch. Ronnie Robinson. Keith Lee. John Gunn. Lorenzen Wright. Penny Hardaway. Many more. Too many to list.

Probably ends up going to the draft, but nice to us mentioned with top 10 guys again so quickly.

The one sane Wichita poster in the smack forum is the first to show up. I'm not the least bit surprised.

I wish you guys nothing but the best. I take no glee in my school causing a recruit to ask out of his NLI (I only take glee in batting Fever and CB around a bit).

But as Marshall said, and as I tried to explain to the wheat trolls, this is a unique situation. Penny worked with Marshall to get Lomax there, b/c he didn't want Lomax playing for Tubby.

I don't blame him, now that I know some of the ins and outs. Just like any dad or legal guardian would do.

And Marshall did the right thing, just as Penny had done the right thing back in November.

Much respect to Gregg Marshall.

Btw, Lomax was telling those around him last night that Marshall had granted his release. How so many in the media (Jeff Goodman and local Memphis guys Jason Smith and John Martin, among others) got that wrong, is beyond me.

Aw, Memphis fans are so peachy now that they get everything they couldn't get on their own before.

This sellout hype hire is gonna come back and bite them. It'll be well worth this little blip on the radar.

Sorry skippy. I've been wishing this for a while.

Where the hell were you and your cronies at during the year? Yelling at each other and hiding under your rocks where your basketball program has been for half a decade?

03-lmfao 03-lmfao Ooh, what a tough guy. I actually have friends coming over here now to read your dumb*** posts and laugh at you. Congrats. I'm bored now. These Lomax threads are done.

Better luck next time.

P.S. To the sane Wichita fans, this is only directed at the two above and CB. The rest of you are fine by me. 04-cheers

I hate talk of reaching ceilings. No one has a damned ceiling! Wichita hasn't reached their ceiling. Memphis hasn't reached their ceiling. Tulsa has not reached it's ceiling. Talk of ceiling is a way to hide elitism. Stop with it. It's annoying.
