Memphis has come up a lot lately in a number of threads.

Everyone believes we should put a fence up around Tennessee, including Memphis. Seems we gotta have those top prospects from Memphis.

Alabubba got nailed (via Fulmer) for buying recruits out of Memphis (Melrose High)

Auburn is now under investigation (again) for a kid from Wooddale High who's gym teacher and guidance counselor actually helped him cheat to clear the NCAA to play for Auburn.

There are several other decent recruiting centers closer to Knoxville than Memphis. It just happens to be in the same state.

Our probation just got extended two more years. Is it even worth it to take a chance on a prospect or two a year from Memphis when it could spell disaster for our program if we find out later that they are not clean.

Serious question, looking for serious discussion.

If there are 2-3 out of Memphis that want to join the Vols...great!

If not, it isn't a major issue. We have a history of hit and misses out of Memphis. However, I do hope that we can hang onto Mister Carr who is committed as part of the 2013 class

I would be down with putting up a fence around Tennessee, but definetly excluding Memphis.

Ohh... this is a figurative recruiting fence, nvm.

When it comes to instate recruiting Coach Martin and Coach next in line for football will recruit the Memphis area heavily. For Basketball if Pastner keeps coaching the way he does and if CCM can get more signature wins recruits will want to leave and go else where. If Knoxville seems like a fit Memphis recruits will leave. Football UT should be pulling two to three recruits out of Memphis each year.

Just don't deal with crooked coaches or teachers. Continue to recruit Memphis the right way and wind up with kids like Stokes. GBO!!!
