Hey UofMemphis, I have nothing against your Tigers. I grew up in Northwest TN and always cheered for Memphis when they weren't playing UK. My brother works in Memphis and he keeps close tabs on the team. He keeps me updated. The excitement for Penny becoming the coach is understandable. From a recruiting standpoint, he is a sure-fire upgrade from Tubby. The question that remains is his coaching acumen, which is something I would question personally. If he were a great coach, with his name recognition and recruiting edge, he'd have been hired as an assistant at a big name program and already landed a HC gig. But as it is, I have significant doubts about his ability to take Memphis to an elite level. But, he's the hot commodity right now and I say he has until maybe Christmas before reality sinks in. He needs to sign everyone right now and get them to Memphis asap. He will sign the Memphis kids but the best of them will bolt once they realize he can't coach. AAU ball won't work in D1.
