NCAA Men's Basketball Thread

Although UT is not remotely a "blue blood" basketball program, I guess that is always a possibility because it's his alma mater.

Oh ****! I don't see how Tech stands a chance against his alma mater if UT gives him an offer

I'd put Memphis in the top 20. They have the #1 prospect in the 2020 NBA draft and a few other future NBA players.

Loaded incoming class and more next year.
Penny knows how to recruit!

The American conference (AAC) is already top 4 or 5 in baseball, but they really are the bridge between P5 and G5 in football and basketball.

I'm concerned b/c Pastner started out like a ball of fire recruiting as well. He just couldn't coach. I think Penny is better but hard to tell based on last year. Can't wait to see what he does with elite talent.
