Did you not learn anything from Mike McDermott from Rounders?
"You can't lose what you don't put in the middle. But you can't win much either."
WORM: Just like the sayings says, you know?. In the poker game of life, women are the rake. They are the ****in' rake.
MIKE: What the **** are you talkin' about? What-what saying?
WORM: Well I don't know. There oughtta be one.

I have no problem with cherry-picking a guy here and there whom you think you can get. But for Tennessee coaches, generally targeting Memphis as an area of priority is like invading Russia during the winter. You'll win a few battles here and there, but overall you're going to get bogged down in a mostly losing effort, wasting valuable time and resources that you desperately need to be deploying elsewhere. Every Vol coach talks about locking down Memphis and it never works.
