Just saw their recruiting class. And they're still expected to sign a few more 4-star players?!
Exactly. If you look at the final four team they had in 1984ish. It was all Memphis kids minus one kid from South Carolina. Kind of like Miami in football back in the Miami hayday. It was a bunch of kids from Miami and the surrounding area. They had a couple non Miami kids but it was mostly keeping the kids from that area and getting them to go to school there. The Hawkeyes are using the same approach in basketball.
Just watch the movie Glory Road on rewind starting at the end.

Boy those $$$ are rolling in Memphis..Anyonr who thinks it isn’t is incredibly naive..Not that it matters.. When you have testimony in federal court of coaches paying for players and said coaches and programs are rolling along like nothing happened is a disgrace..
Well that’s that. Hope we get Bolton whether he sits out or not.
Who's laughing now, gentlemen?
I don't know. He's hasn't posted photos on instagram of all the schools he's visited that say "Not Committed" and then committed to the remaining school.
So a guy who played at arkansas little rock and is transferring to try and improve NBA stock picked a team loaded with talent in a crap conference over a power 5 team with tons of playing time available whose games are all on national television. Sounds like a great decision to me.

Memphis is going to get lots of attention this year. He's already on the NBA's radar, so the size of the stage doesn't really matter at this point.

The exposure angle is overblown. Ja Morant is going to be selected in the top 2 or 3 picks very shortly, and he went to Murray State. If a guy is on the NBA radar, they will find ways to watch. And if Memphis is as loaded with talent as people think, the pro scouts will be there
Obviously a guy like morant is gonna be found no matter where he plays. I would say you have a better chance of being found on ESPN though. Im guessing about 75% or more of the united states had absolutely no idea who JA Morant was before the NCAA tourney started this year.
