You know as well as anyone no players were bought. Penny wasn't the coach and Wiseman wasn't a recruit when this happened. Your comment is an example of Memphis living in your head. Let it go.

Penny's name had been thrown out there when Tubby was hired. Penny knew that it might come up again, and James Wiseman was a key to him getting the job. I initially said that him just being the AAU coach at the time didn't mean he knew what was happening in the future. But it's been openly discussed, and I do believe the fact that Penny wanted the UM job was a factor.

Penny was lobbying for the job for a couple of years. You are correct - Wiseman helped seal the deal with admin. I live outside of Memphis and unfortunately the only sports talk is out of Memphis. This had been in the works for several years.

True. It wasn't a good look for Schofield to strut around saying Memphis was our town though. Caused a lot of bad feelings. Probably going to cost us a beatdown next month.

Sounds like you’re a Penny apologist. He got caught lying and starting a fued with a well respected future hof coach for no reason. Quite frankly, Penny is a low life with a lot of money that will be unsuccessful during his stint at Memphis. This is step 1 in his demise. And we will see about that supposed beat down next month. I hope Tennessee sweeps Memphis and never does business with the school again.

Basilio has been making a pretty good argument to set Wiseman free. The NCAA just let some Ohio State football player that took money have his eligibility back. The NCAA looks the other way for Bill Self, Roy, Duke, LSU, Auburn, and others and hammers guys like Bruce and Donnie.

Wiseman situation could have been exactly the same as Chase Young's situation. They chose a different path.

What a truly stupid take. The ascendency of our program under Barnes and the perennial Memphis little brother syndrome are more than enough to light their fire, so forgive me if I don't think Admiral Schofield's actions are going to have any effect on this year's game. The motivation will always be there.

I'm sorry your team lost last night.

Unless I missed something, Hardaway moved the kid and his family to Memphis to play for the high school team he (Hardaway) was coaching at the time. The TSSAA thought it looked shady at the time. Not saying it affects what the NCAA can or will do, but it does affect our understanding of Hardaway. Which is to say, sure sounds like buying a player.

Can you believe all the Memphis apologist in this thread? At this point it’s the lesser of two evils. I question the NCAA as much as the next guy and if this were an NCST or even Miss St, I’d say heck yeah, stick it to the NCAA. But it’s not, it’s memphis and I’m “rooting” for the NCAA on this one.
GBO!!

I have read message boards from North Carolina, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas. It is interesting that they, like basically the rest of the country, is supportive of Memphis and Wiseman's efforts but that we are so antagonistic.

Memphis really lives in our heads doesn't it?

We own them in football, basketball, and in life. Why would you say they are in our heads. We laugh at them as we should and they have NEVER won anything ever. No titles. Nothing.
