Precious pic with 4 schools' logos in corners: Memphis, Syracuse, St Johns, UConn
It also says just below it, "These are not his final 4 schools, but schools that have a good chance of signing him."
Haha, you're pretty fast for an old guy.
Thank you, all.

RE: Precious Achiuwa, #8 2019 National recruit, will attend Memphis Madness.
If we landed Achiuwa, reclassified Hampton, and Quinones.
I would think the stating lineup could look like
PG: 6'5" RJ Hampton
SG: 5'9" Tyler Harris or 6'5" Lester Quinones
SF: 6'7" DJ Jeffries
PF: 6'9" Precious Achiuwa
C: 7'0" James Wiseman
Backups would be Lomax, Harris or Quinones, Boyce, Thomas, Maurice, Dandridge, Wingett, and Baugh.
I don't know how we land Watford if Wade is still at LSU.

So, you think Watford is looking for some kind of handout?

I hear you.
Not knowing all of the particulars, I lean towards thinking he postponed the announcement on Saturday because the Jordan game isn’t being televised (which he wanted to make the announcement on live TV), not because they have decided to go to LSU because they reinstated Wade. But we will find out soon.
The new defense for some can simply be... “I didn’t do it”. And they get off.
It’s hard for me to believe that the Watford’s would want to play for Wade.
That said, if you told me Penny ends up with Precious and Lester with the decent possibility of also landing RJ Hampton, and no Watford, I will be just fine with that. I don’t think it’s a pipe dream that we get all 4.

If Wade is paying players...
Do any of us think he didn't offer Watford a package?
Do any of us think he didn't offer Lester a package?
I like Penny and think he is a strong recruiter but unless he is offering competing packages we likely lose these two if they are looking to get paid.

Don't know where 4th scholarship comes from unless we take Jayden off scholarship, but that would mean we have to ensure whoever comes here will be in good academic standing.

I don't think we're signing 4, but if we did, that's where it would have to come from.

I honestly don’t see taking 4 players with our current situation. 1 big and 1 guard. Just don’t have the minutes for all those players. Plus I think he really want to keep Jayden on scholly and give Boyce the other. Maybe add RJ as the 3rd if he decides to reclassify and come here. Just my opinion.

Precious Achiuwa, #8 2019 National recruit, will attend Memphis Madness.
So postponing b/c the JBC isn’t televised? Is there another event (I’m unaware of) that will be televised where he can announce? If that’s the true reason, then why not announce the new outlet and commitment date? Apparently he’s still trying to figure out where he wants to go.

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck.... he gone, IMHO.

Nope, I believe he’ll be a Memphis Tiger.
