Nichols committed to Memphis?

My understanding is Memphis loss out on a recruit Devin Williams and now the primary focus for a big is on Austin Nichols.

Wow go home to take a nap and wake up to this...didn't see this coming, happy for Austin though. He was hearing it from everyone croon and was very torn, glad its over for him.

I will say this though, if he doesn't sign there's a reason for that, and it's far from over...could very well come down to another decision in the spring.

I'm floored that he didn't pick Tennessee, but even more shocked that he picked Memphis. Despite Memphis being his hometown, I didn't think he would choose the Tigers. Perhaps his family pressured him into it? Either way, he's a solid player and I hope he does well for the Tigers.

C'mon guys Memphis is the logical choice here...
Family is here
Better tradition
Better facilities
It's like telling a kid from Knoxville who plays football to choose between Memphis or Tennessee, what choice would you think that kid would make?

Memphis has a football team?

If I were a big time college basketball player Tennessee would be my top choice, Duke would be my second choice and there would be no third

Logical would be choosing Tennessee football/basketball or Memphis football/basketball.

Choosing a school that's top 10 all-time in football and another school that's one of the top basketball schools is bandwagon at it's finest. Especially when you're blending into two fan bases that hate each other.

Sorry, but hopefully Nichols enjoys losing. Memphis loses in CUSA, they're going to get smoked in the Big East. 9-10 losses all 3 seasons with their schedule? It's going to be bad in the Big East.

P.s. Memphis is not a great city and the people saying it is must not travel.

Calm down with the butthurt. This is what happens when you try following recruting too much. All the insiders, subscription services, and tweets are meaningless when it comes down to it. A hometown kid stayed home, good pickup for Memphis. Move on....

At least use proper grammar when trying to insult someone. It's "you're" not "your". So yeah, YOU'RE the one that looks like trash with no education. Way to go for looking like an idiot.

Or maybe you don't travel to the right parts of Memphis. And yes, I am a UT graduate and big supporter.

The city argument is trash. The college experience argument? Now that's a different story.

No you are going off on UT fans being upset on a VOL forum. The language wasn't good either. Just calm down. We understand that you are a Memphis bball fan and UT football fan.

End of the early signing period.
May just be wanting to end all the hullabaloo.
If he doesn't sign by the 21st I wouldn't add him to any one's roster just yet.

Memphis will be fine in the Big East especially with this talent.

And I agree with VolGee that there is no basis for saying Memphis isn't a great city. Definitely doesn't have the same college experience but that city backs UM and there is a lot of character outside of sports in that town.

Btw not a UM homer I'm a UT grad and VFL I just can't stand ignorant posts...
