If you can say anything about how Memphis (the city) enhances or hurts recruiting, I think it enhances recruiting more than nearly any other city in America.

Exactly! And, its on point. One reason people love Memphis is the grit and grind persona. People don't take **** and they don't back down. And we ball, hard. Go Tigers.

Can't think of a basketball player that was a victim of a violent crime while playing here, but remember when Taylor Bradford was murdered about 10 years ago.

Penny was shot in the foot.

Joe Jackson got a black eye.

Ok, Ok, enough already. It has been established, Memphis is not the heavenly city with its streets of gold. It is a normal urban city with a "town" complex, and with an incredible basketball heritage and filled with basketball enthusiasts who know the game and little budding sprouts who will be great players someday.

I don't understand how Penny is getting guys like this to visit. According to Rupp Rafters, Penny isn't in on any player outside of Memphis.

I mean, outside of already signing Isaiah Maurice (Texas), David Wingett (Nebraska/ NC prep school), and Antwan Jones (Orlando, FL), they are technically correct.

The environment on that Kentucky Board is like fertilizer for morons. Someone needs to go over there and spray.

Players are just giving visits out of the respect their parents have for Penny, none will actually want to play for him...

This is awesome. I keep trying to temper my expectations but if we beat Cal in a second head to head then it will mean we have hit a level this program has never seen before. Pretty pumped...

They just recently offered Jalen too.

Its not about beating Calipari. Its about Penny finding the right guys to put us where we want to be. Kentucky will get their's, we just need to get our's. There are 100 top 100 players and we can only get 2-3 of them every year.

Jalen talks about Memphis visit and possible reclassification. Sounds like he came away impressed.
