MyBB Peach Jam: Nation's top prospects want Penny Hardaway to deliver on hype
sorry if pope

less than 50

Quote:The crown was replaced by a neon-orange pair of Nike Air Max 97 sneakers.

The throne was a black, fold-up chair beneath the shot clock.

The scepter was a leather Louis Vuitton backpack.

So, when the current king of AAU basketball and ruler of the land’s No. 1 recruiting class – Penny Hardaway – entered the Riverview Park Activities Center in North Augusta, South Carolina Thursday, he was recognized as royalty.

“He knows what he has,” five-star prospect Isaiah Todd said. “He knows he has to put on a show. He has to live up to the hype.”

Because never in all of history has Memphis had someone who assembled the finest group of sneaker-wearing knights in the country until Hardaway.

He’s the coach who dresses different than all the rest, who usually makes an entrance as soon as the game is about to begin and who can always be seen standing beneath the basket in extravagant shoes.

...

He’s in the mix for three of 247Sports’ top 10 players in 2020, and four of the recruiting website’s top five players in 2021.

It’s been enough to silence most of the critics but not enough to satisfy the Tigers coach.

“My ultimate goal is the national championship,” Hardaway said in May. “Nobody is going to be able to judge or critique me harder than myself.”

If we win at the level that we think we can, I think this class would be 4-5 guys and still be a Top 5 class.

Penny has succeeded at the highest level in everything he has ever done. It might be instant and come this year. It might not. If he coaches a few years, he'll get that national championship. It's part of him. He has to win. He has to succeed. He is the most driven public figure I've ever seen to be so modest and personable. He is a very unique man.

Moon children in the late cycle tend to pull in Leo tendencies, making them effective, empathic leaders. The month is named for Julius Caesar, who knew how to make a splash.
