The Memphis Tigers will hold a pro day for NBA teams on October 7
From the ESPN story:
Quote:The Tigers' pro day on Oct. 7 will coincide with a large group of NBA executives descending on the city for the Memphis Grizzlies' preseason game on Oct. 8 against RJ Hampton and the New Zealand Breakers. Hampton, the No. 6 player in ESPN's 2020 mock draft, will be scouted heavily in his matchup with Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr.

Take away RJs thunder. Don’t think Penny is happy with RIs actions during recruitment

See, stuff like this is the reason Coach Penny will keep us as a perennial title contender. It is things like this that helps the Duke's and Kentucky's of the world get the top talent in, and now we will too. The top rated players see things like this, and it let's them know that Coach is serious about getting them to the next level. Every year we will have some of the top players coming to Memphis. Get ready to become a dynasty y'all

Not sure how you make that conclusion. Sounds more like its a fit with when scouts would be in town anyway.
Penny has been pretty clear that he is supportive of guys going pro and getting paid.

What RJ did was pretty low-class. Penny may support guys wanting to go pro, but how RJ did left a lot to be desired. How much money do you think was spent recruiting a guy who had already signed a pro contract and was just lying to get freebies?

Agreed...
Just piggy backing on RJ being in town and also increasing his selling point to new recruits that being in an NBA town only increases your marketability if done correctly.

Tiger BB made same conclusion. Penny could have picked a different day a week later if he had wanted to. More scouts to see James and Precious than Hampton. And Hampton will have his lunch money stolen by the Grizz if they want to humiliate him.

It is honestly mind boggling how dumb you are; it is impossible to ignore. Penny would have to be brainless to try and organize a pro day when everyone is available, instead of picking a day when they already have plans to be in Memphis. That is literally the only day when it could have been scheduled, AND combining the two will probably lead to even more attending.
Someone would have to be brainless to think that Penny could attract even half the numbers if he scheduled it any other time.
Since Penny isn't brainless, he will probably take the opportunity to host recruits on official or unofficial visits that day. There isn't a better way for a potential player to go through the entire experience of playing at Memphis, having scouts pass through the entire time, on their way to the NBA.

Penny ain't worried about RJ Hampton.
Penny is all about advancing the Tigers program.
Has nothing to do with RJ, other than helping to leverage max attendance.

PennyWisemanShooters seems to think the Grizzlies care about RJ Hampton; which isn't (unfortunately) a joke. He really thinks that. Is anybody honestly worried about RJ Hampton? I can't remember the last time I thought about him.

According to PennyWisemanShooters, he is Public Enemy #1. Penny is planning a pro day for Wiseman, Precious, and the rest of the team for the sole purpose of stealing RJ's thunder.
The Grizzlies are holding closed door meetings every day plotting different strategies to humiliate Hampton in an exhibition game.
