Classy move by WSU and Marshall.

"I have a lot of respect for Alex Lomax and his family. When they chose Wichita State in the fall, over several other very nice offers, my staff and I were honored. Obviously, we take commitments to the Shocker program very seriously, but this is a very unique situation where a young man’s mentor and coach since the fifth grade has become a Division I head coach. Allowing him out of his NLI without any kind of penalty is the right thing to do at this time.”

What background does Miller have recruiting? What connections does he have.

It's huge. Mike Miller also has strong relationships with recruits through his AAU team.

"M33M was founded in 2005 with an intent to provide young men an opportunity to develop and showcase their skills on the basketball court as well as develop their character and standing in the community. The program was created by NBA star Mike Miller and Mike's cousin Ernie Kuyper. Mike, who spent time playing for the Memphis Grizzlies, is the founder of the Mike Miller Foundation and is still involved with the program today, encouraging M33M players to strive to be their best on and off the court."

It looks close to a done deal.

Nice. A strong Memphis is good for the AAC and they shouldn't eat into our recruiting area too much.

Hell of a win for Dunleavy and company. Had been committed to Tulane but took an OV to Memphis after Penny was hired. Tigers went after him hard but he’s sticking with the Wave:

That is, easily, the right move from a educational/campus/city stand point

They're going crazy on Memphis twitter. Tigers should be decent next year. Their backcourt looks set. Next year, they're in the mix for James Wiseman, Malcom Dandridge, Chandler Lawson, etc

4*, #92 ranked, Antwann Jones is in Memphis right now.. and the visits gone so well he's already changed his twitter picture.

Penny would have the #25 class, with 2 more open schollies, with Antwann's signature.

Penny has impressed me with how hungry he is. Hopefully he makes this last assistant hire count. Good bench coach to learn from

What are your thoughts on the Wiseman reclass and the chances of Memphis landing him?

Who else is a top 2018 target? You have 1 ship left if not mistaken. It looks like 4 or five seniors/holdovers plus this good 2018 class right?

Wiseman is going to Memphis. He isn’t going to reclassify though. We have 2 scholarships left and we are currently the favorites to land sharp shooter Keonte Kennedy who decommited from Xaiver.
Keonte Kennedy, Westlake, Shooting Guard

We are also working on Jordan Brown and seeing if their is a chance with him

Penny has a very narrow window of opportunity starting with the recruits he has built a relationship with in high school and AAU. If he doesn't win immediately he'll lose all his pull and the choice for local Memphis talent to make will be an easy one. THEY GONE!

Does anybody know of a coach with zero DI experience that has succeeded at a high major program?
