He doesn’t have any Big offers! He’s probably got a hand out!
I’d wait until it happens before I declare him John Wooden.
You do know that it is factual that John Wooden bought players back in the day as well. Cal’s hands are not clean from any of his coaching stops.
Sean Miller still gets recruits and that guy can't coach his arm out of a wet paper bag.This is Penny's one shot...if they are piss poor next year he will never get elite players again.

Heck, he's under investigation, the evidence has been out there for months, yet he's still getting blue chip recruits.
I don't know what Penny is telling these kids, but they're buying in.
I'm thinking he goes 23-7 or so with the schedule Memphis will play and bow out somewhere around the sweet 16. It's not great, but not awful. Good enough to continue landing bigtime recruits.

Again the two big offers both are known cheaters Memphis isn’t a big offer hate to tell ya! UCONN lol they not been good since 2014!What a bunch of cowards. Penny’s got you Nancy’s wetting your pants. Love how dummies like this guy just states flat out lies. Precious has offers from Kansas, North Carolina, Memphis, and UCONN.

Clever.Add Lexington and Louisville to the list for two faced bigots, lol.
Memphis is # 4 in America as the most dangerous cities in America! 1750 for every 100,000 people! So don’t be slinging crap at Lexington or Louisville when you live in the 4th most dangerous city in America out of thousands of towns and cities! Now run along back to Memphis St!Add Lexington and Louisville to the list for two faced bigots, lol.
It$ not $urpri$ing to me at all. What make$ you rai$e concern?I looked on the front page and didn't see a similar thread. I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around Memphis landing all these stars. I mean, their potential haul is incredible.
Does this make sense to anyone on here? I mean, I know Penny was a star in the NBA, but it was short lived and before most of these kids were even born. I find it hard to believe that there isn't something dirty going on there.
The thing is, you guys are enjoying yourselves right now because you rarely get the opportunity to make national waves. I get it, but lots of programs come and go, come and go. And when those programs come, we discuss them, no one is upset or concerned with Memphis. You’re a mid major program who’s doing good on the recruiting trail for the second time in 40 years. Control your ego, Kentucky has 8 national titles, the most wins all time, and nearly more FINAL FOURS than Memphis has TOURNAMENT APPEARANCES. Let that sink in for a moment.
So not to be a bitch, but your program isn’t even the best in your own state. A lot of times, it’s not the second best program in your own state.
Kentucky is another animal.
Now like I said I understand Memphis is having fun right now and you should. It’s been a long time since people mentioned your name. I get it. But you should know that while you’re just now being allowed to enter through the revolving door, others who entered are now on their way out. And you will too, because Memphis cannot sustain success and that’s measurable by historical fact.
Memphis was left out of the conference alignments. That’s ballgame. Throw every gimmick you can, because that will depend on whether it lasts for 1 year or 2.
Yeah, but is he nuts enough to do it now while the microscope is in him? I mean, he's still landing bigtime recruits and he's on the lists of a lot if others. It's odd. Why would anyone want to play for that guy?We know how Miller gets his players, he cheats.
These kids still know about Penny though . His shoes are still very popular . He also is still fairly young and knows how to relate to the kids more than older coaches .
Add Lexington and Louisville to the list for two faced bigots, lol.
I think he's a below average coach. He certainly isn't good enough to be getting the players he has been getting.JMO, Miller isn't a bad coach at all, he is just a cheater.
I have no clue how/why people are still going there...it is insane.
He should be fired, but no way I would call him a bad coach- just some big Elite 8 losses.
In his prime Penny was a beast that can’t be debated and was one of the most exciting guys around . Some of you act like it’s impossible for youngsters to see highlights of some of the older guys .Do they? The last time he was an All-Star, none of these current recruits were even alive. The man averaged 15ppg over his career. Solid, but nothing earth shattering.

When you really look at the situation in Memphis from 30,000 ft., you find that a solid coach got fired, to be replaced by a former player with no college coaching experience. All culminating in a move to keep one local player from going to Kentucky. I mean wow lol!Penny is a legend here in Memphis. Obviously the verdict is still out whether he can coach when there is high expectations. He does have Sam Mitchell on the bench who was a head coach in the NBA. It should come as no surprise that he will be able to get recruits and will continue as long as they do well in the tournament and has players move onto the NBA. Time will tell.

And as I stated his shoes are still very popular .
Getting the players is one thing, coaching them and getting them to play as a team is another. We shall see.
Cal has proven over and over he can do all of the above.
Penny is like the new good looking girl at school. Gets a lot of attention until everyone finds out she's not all they thought she was.
Please quote where I said kids are lining up to play for him ? I stated why kids may know him . Penny was a very good player in his prime that isn’t very debatable .Impossible? Uh, no. You’re inflating his career. The only thing any of us remember about Penny, were his shoes and commercials. Speaking of which, I’d say his last commercial was in the 90’s. But keep harping on why kids are lining up to play for the dude. Comical.

Grant Hill career average is 16 let me guess he wasn’t all that good either huh
Yeah I know that they didn’t actually grow up watching him live . I’m just saying it’s not exactly hard to YouTube him and as I stated early his shoe is still popular so kids know about him somewhat .Penny was a stud when he was healthy, but it didn’t last long.
None of his players had ever seen him play. By their own admission they had to YouTube him to see him play for the first time.
Penny isn’t known for his playing days. He’s known by them from their time on the AAU circuit and shoes (which isn’t as big of a deal as Memphis wants it to be and they’ll see in time).
But his playing days weren’t that great due to injury and these kids do not know him from that.
We have a multiple page thread on Memphis and multiple threads on Duke. I'd say many here care about schools/coaches/players that aren't associated with UK but can potentially affect us.

Sure, the players may know him from the AAU circuit. However, their parents and or guardians know him well from his playing days and that alone will get him in 90% of these recruits homes. If he wins and sends multiple players to the league he'll be a threat for yrs to come.
Clearly you are correct, I just don't get the obsession.
Nah, we’re just mildly annoyed that Memphis’ athletic administration hired Penny to solely keep Wiseman from Kentucky. Anything beyond that will be gravy, if anything happens at all. We’ll know where this stands better, this time next year.Seems to be more Penny talk over here than Cal talk over there. Who's obsessed with who?
I think he's a below average coach. He certainly isn't good enough to be getting the players he has been getting.
His results aren't all that impressive to me:
2019 - missed the tournament with a 17-15 record while playing in an awful conference.
2018 - lost to Buffalo in the first round as a 4 seed
2017 - had a good regular season, lost in the sweet 16 to X
2016 - 8 losses. Lost in the first round to Wichita State
2015 - great season, 34-4 and made it to the E8
2014 - great season. 33-5 and lost in tge E8
2013 - lost in the sweet 16, went 27-8
2012 - NIT after a 23-12 record
2011 - Elite 8 appearance
2010 - NIT after a 16-15 record
So he's got a few E8 appearances, but a lot of early exits and NIT's. But his style of play is very bland, defensively they are very meh and they don't do anything that wow's you on offense.
I'm impressed with his recruiting ability, cheating or not, because I don't get the attraction.
UCONN has won a Natty more recently than we have. Please do a search on things first before spewing out something like this.

Hell, Rick Barnes made 3 elite 8's and a final four.He also took Xavier to Elite 8...
