Shocker right? Not to give any premium information away, but this is actually really really good news in regards to our chances with Wiseman.

 

[Blueblood22]

Great news.

 

[JerseyCat84]

Hopefully you’re right. I’m my opinion it won’t affect Wiseman either way. He’ll start anywhere.

 

[Robcatt24]

Tigers on their way back to their Memphis State glory days of Keith Lee and William Bedford.

I think has more to do they don’t want to play together

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

As predictable as Jim and Pam eventually getting together on the Office.

Put Penny and Jeffries on this cover, with flowers in their hair. It would be just as appropriate.

Is this true ? I have never read or heard this.

Oh ok I wasn’t aware of that. Unless they put their differences aside then yes it is a bit of good news for UK.

True.

Some of you need to pay up and get HOB the info is top notch

 

[ReturnOfOakboy]

Good get for the Tigers

Some of us saw this coming from miles away. Many of us even. But we still heard "he's not even a lean for Memphis just cause he left kentucky"..

Gotta see the forest.. And same goes with Wiseman. Don't see any way he doesn't go to Memphis.

 

[shaudyshaud]

This is my first time hearing about them not wanting to play together

Yes...this was all just an orchestrated show by Penny from the beginning

I'm not sure what "it" is. Although def a possibility.

It just has Wiseman to Memphis written all over it. Not sure about reports those two don't want to play together. News to me.

Regardless. His coach, his state, his chance to bring Memphis back into the spotlight, just one year, free reign. I'll be amazed he goes anywhere else. Honestly, I'm not sure I'd blame him. If I was Wiseman, I'd probably pick Memphis too.

 

[RondoBaller21]

Wiseman ends up at UK imo.

I hadn’t heard that either before very recently. But Sisk doesn’t post fluff. Again, I don’t want to just give out paid info for free, and I’m also not trying to wave HOB membership in peoples faces either. But suffice it to say, I haven’t felt this positive about Wiseman since before Penny was hired.

I would LOVE to be wrong. Feel free to wave this in my face, honestly.

Jeffries must have been impressed with the 800 or so fans who showed up for the first Memphis exhibition game.

Number one basketball city in America.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I love Penny's methods. He "mentored" DJ while he was a UK commit. Wonder how he'd feel if another man "mentors" his wife the next time she and Penny have marriage trouble.

 

[westerncat]

I have felt for a while that we will get Wiseman and Carey both at UK.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

If Wiseman doesnt want to play with DJ.... then whats the play by him announcing his decision during Wiseman's official visit to Memphis?

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Those two on the way plus a title would put the Commonwealth into a state of ecstatic joy, unparalleled in our collective history.

I’m trying not to get my hopes up but it’s looking more and more possible as time goes on. It would be the best frontcourt we’ve had since Towns/WCS.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. If that’s true of them not wanting to play together then why in the hell would Penny have DJ announce today unless DJ went rogue and did it to piss off Wiseman.

I think he was more impressed no one got killed or shot at the event. Because well, you know, Memphis

I almost wonder if Jeffries has been wanting to play for Penny but Penny was holding off because he didn’t want it to cost him the #1 player. If Memphis was making his big push for Wiseman on his visit and they could see it wasn’t looking good, he may have gone ahead and called Jeffries and said “let’s do it.”

Pure conjecture on my part but there’s so much going on behind the scenes we don’t know and it seems to make sense. Plus, believing this makes me happy

As long as you’re happy, man.

It would be good for sure but it would be hard to beat the total production we should get from PJ, Travis, Montgomery, and Richards this year. Now if pulls off a couple more with them then it’s definitely possible. I just think PJ and Travis will abuse teams this year.

Can you imagine banking your college basketball career, and chance of making millions in the NBA, on a guy that's never coached in college? I ain't hitching my horse to that wagon, but best of luck to the kid.

 

[BlueBloodKyFan]

I would say the longer Wiseman waits to commit it would be good for us. If he chooses UK he would have to deal with backlash from school/team mates and the community. Again he is a young man so no telling what these kids will do today.

This is why you need to pay up for HOB

Amazed at how split this thread is on whether this is terrible news or fantastic news lol

 

[Roxamora]

Who?
