No hard questions about transfers.

About the hardest question he got was about James wiseman and whether it “hurt” our program for him to leave. Penny said he’s a great player and great kid and wished him the best.

Penny talked about autism charity he was working with slingshot since one of his sons has autism.

Down to earth and honest as always.

That's a strong eight around whom to construct a VERY good team next year. Now if Williams and Nolley both leave ... that would be very bad.

Add an elite point guard and that’s a contender. Don’t need to really “replace” any of what left. Lose Williams and we need a big. Lose Nolley and we need a scoring 2/3.

Agree that adding an elite point guard would make Memphis a contender for the AAC title and, say, an Elite Eight run. But are you suggesting a contender for the national title?

Am I hearing wrong about Cisse and Nesbitt leaving the team? Is that just speculation by fans or has something been said and we are just wait and see?

I've heard nothing but fan chatter on this board. Who knows.
