Moussa Cisse's reclassification and subsequent commitment to Memphis gave the Tigers a nice jolt after a disappointing 2019-20 season. Cisse, the No. 10 overall player in the 2020 class, is a shot-blocking phenom who is the preseason favorite to become the second straight Memphis player to win AAC Freshman of the Year. If he does that, this could be a special team. Last year's Freshman of the Year winner Precious Achiuwa is gone, but four of the six players who comprised the nation's No. 1 recruiting class in 2019 are back. Third-year coach Penny Hardaway also landed a couple of key transfers in Landers Nolley from Virginia Tech and DeAndre Williams from Evansville. This looks like the most-talented roster in the AAC on paper, and if the Tigers get a little offense to go with what figures to be another stifling defense, the program will easily make it back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2014.

Thanks

Penny's team needs to break his bearcat jinx.

I bet the player of the year in the AAC wears a Memphis uniform. Just not sure what number he's wearing.

I think this team is better defensively than last years.

If Boogie and Lester can shoot 35%+ from the 3 and Alex and Baugh are competent outside threats we could be dangerous.

I read somewhere that Toppert said that this was a really good shooting team.

Yeah, I hope so.

But right now I see those as Drew Barham stats...They gotta hit them in the game.

DBhooper could make 'em in practice

Thanks for the link.

Frankly, if Alex and Baugh can just cut down on their turnovers in the offensive set, we could be very dangerous.

Agreed...That was also a problem...

But if we don't have shooters to spread the floor guards are going to struggle to penetrate.
