TXHoosierDaddy Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 Noticed all of a sudden Memphis received 7 crystal ball predictions in the last week. What gives? I get these so called 'prediction guys' jump on each others picks. Playing at Memphis and that conference....man that just wouldn't get me amped if I am a high school kid. Then again, they have lots of NBA star power with Penny and Mike Miller holding down the fort. It's clear who the best coach though is out of the the three so called finalists. The others can sell their NBA experience but that's about it from a coaching standpoint in college. Justin Kotter 1 Quote

Penny/Miller haven't even won a game as a college coach and they are still getting consideration from these kids. I don't get it. Justin Kotter and TXHoosierDaddy 2 Quote

That's all they can do with no actual wins to speak of. mdn82 1 Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 Trendon was quoted to be recruiting Matthew Hurt to Memphis. Info like that goes a long way for Crystal Ball picks. Memphis has a proclivity to cheating, and Penny’s AAU ties will make it all an easy perfect marriage. Then on the court results will speak for themselves but honestly many of these kids don’t care about winning, if they can be showcased. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
VO5 Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 Like mdn said, this is all about NBA experience. Nothing about Memphis the school, city, area, etc. all these kids want to hear is “NBA”. Imagine being a high school kid and being recruited by a former star player (Penny) and a guy who can say he won championships with Lebron. That holds a TON of clout. I know I wouldn’t be upset if they started recruiting me. Just how it is these days. Class of '66 Old Fart, Dalton26 and mdn82 3 Quote
JerryYeagley23 Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 Did my post get deleted mods? I know I mentioned political figures, but it was in context to the celebrity status of Penny at Memphis. Didn't mean to offend anyone. Quote

WayneFleekHoosier Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Christian Watford getting a summer league shot with MEMPHIS grizzlies. Claims being made Penny is behind this one. Interesting. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mamasa, ALASKA HOOSIER and Walking Boot of Doom 3 Quote
mdn82 Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Christian Watford getting a summer league shot with MEMPHIS grizzlies. Claims being made Penny is behind this one. Interesting. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Well he was on the Pacers summer league team twice. Does that mean we are twice as likely to get him than Memphis? The only claims I saw were random fans on Twitter that others laughed at. If Penny gets help from a NBA team I would call him The Godfather as Coach K and Calipari neither one have NBA teams recruiting for them. I file this under tin foil theory. When do they play though cause I would absolutely watch that? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app ElectricBoogaloo 1 Quote
