Avery Diggs from UCF in the portal. He barely played so it frees up another spot for us.

Add another to the list of SMU transfers.

You mean they aren't??? Lol

We are pretty lucky in that regard!

informative and very knowledgeable about basketball is unique/rare with eldridge

not being fair minded is unique and rare with memphis-- most beat writers are fair and tend not to have an obvious side when doing stories... memphis is unique in that their media are blatantly bias and dont even show even try to hide it

this is a salty tweet by one of the main media people in memphis, this was after we beat them in the conference tourney

That is because he didn't think Memphis was very good, not because of hate for Houston.

I'm so happy we finally got some great news!

tulsa and smu have a chance to be good depending on how the rest of the offseason goes

Kendric Davis*- Top 2 for AAC POY
Zach Nutall (transfer)- southland POY
Tyson Jolly*- All Conference when healthy
Emmanuel Bandoumel- respectable starter-double digit scorer
Yor Anei* - elite level shot blocker

with 6 free ships

davis, jolly and anei arent confirmed returning but if they do...and use those 6 ships wisely, they could contend.

We have incoming freshmen PG Zhuric Phelps and PG Jalen Smith. Isiah Jasey is coming back too. Jahmar Young Jr. may take up one of our scholarships and Darius McBride is still on scholarship. We need small forwards and power forwards to round out the roster. I don't know what Jolly is going to do. By my count we probably have 4 scholarships left to give. I'd like 3 forwards and possibly one more scoring guard.

i accounted for those players.. returning seniors dont count against your limit. jolly and jasey do not affect the 13, you have 6 ships

Memphis freshman Jordan Nesbitt is in the portal.

Bye. We hardly knew ye. He didn't make the NIT trip to Texas.

But he was the #2 recruit in the state of MO where they play pretty good BB - leaving after one semester after leaving HS early. Isn't the thinking of 2021 college BB recruits grand.....

Sorry, now I have Toy Story stuck in my head...

Nutall mentioned friendships with Davis and Jolly. He referenced playing WITH THEM next year. That’s a positive sign even though Davis will test pro waters and Jolly has been a rumored transfer.

If those three stay and you add Band and the two high school commit guards SMU is solid out front. The bigs are another story. Anei could still go and Jasey hasn’t made a layup yet this season. We’ll need some size that can contribute immediately.

Lots of talk that Memphis will lose either Cisse or Dandridge. Given their individual limitations, surprisingly both have multiple options.

Right now, I think Cisse stays. If so, then maybe Malcolm leaves. But we are bringing in Ayomide as a likely backup, and the portal has centers, too.

Omar Payne chose Illinois...

Penny lands a big one.
