Please. Playing in an NBA arena is a huge draw for recruits.

Obviously, you haven't been in the Finch if you're dismissing it as well.

Green isn't a good look for you.

I'm from Memphis, cowboy. And Finch, when compared to Pratt and Tennessee's facilities, deserves to be dismissed.

The House that Pat built isn't shabby at all. When you guys bring recruits through, which NBA players do they play pick-up games with?

Oh my I didnt take time to read the post you responded to but if this kid is comparing Finch center to Pratt P. he OBVIOUSLY has never been inside of Pratt...and by most national commentators TBA is on par or maybe better than FEDEX Forum....been to several games at both...Finch Center a drawing card???? Goodness

This is pretty irrelevant. Memphis is a commuter school anyway so being on campus wouldn't change much.

LOL, "really dangerous area"? The Finch is on Memphis' campus, and Memphis' campus was found to be the safest college campus in the State (That's including UT's).

Yeah, The Forum is downtown on Beale street. You act like that's a detractor. Are you kidding me? We get 18,000+ there for every game. We've sold out our season tickets this season. Has UT?

You're right. Recruits hate going to the Finch I bet. They have to wait behind the likes of Thad Young, Zach Randolph, Elliot Williams, Tony Allen, Penny Hardaway and Andre Igoudala to get a pickup game.

Sucks for the kids man.

lol. Comparing facilities is stupid. Both have decent facilities. But as for overall city....Knoxville > Memphis and it's not even close.

The verdict is out on this great coach at Memphis. Being Cal's assistant and sharing all the glory because of another coach will only last so long. He will have to start showing results soon or these great HS Memphis kids are gone. Maybe not to Tennessee but for sure not Memphis. I'll give you youth as an excuse last year. The amazing recruiting class he has and he can pretty much pick and choose who he wants means he better do some winning or you'll be starting all over just like us.

That is the problem. They have to wait. Pratt has plenty of room, and if that isn't enough because Catchings, Holdsclaw, Parker etc are playing pickup, TBA is right there. :p

Pre-season top 10. Expectations are high. Memphis fans understand that this team needs to deliver.
