No. 1 recruit James Wiseman joining Penny at Memphis

James Wiseman, the No. 1-ranked prospect in the 2019 class, committed to Memphis over Kentucky on Tuesday.

Wiseman announced his decision on SportsCenter, bringing out a unicorn wearing the Memphis logo. He's been referred to as a "unicorn," like other players with his unique size and ability. He's also part of the "Unicorn fam" with elite 2020 prospects RJ Hampton and Jalen Green.

Wiseman, a 7-footer from East High School (Tennessee), is the first No. 1 prospect to commit to Memphis since ESPN's recruiting database began in 2007. He is also the first top-10 prospect to pick the Tigers since Adonis Thomas committed in 2011.

Wiseman took official visits to Memphis, Kentucky, Florida State, Kansas and Vanderbilt, but this was always going to end up as a battle between Memphis and Kentucky.

Great for our conference. With Memphis and UConn well on their way back, the AAC has a very bright future. The question is where we fit in that future and who will be leading us...

Well that is not an underrated player with no P5 offers.

Memphis signs top 100 players and meanwhile we sign crickets.

Can we really afford to wait until the end of the year to make a major change??

SMU will make a great door mat for Memphis and UConn. Each get a couple of breathers during the conference schedule where they can play their scrubs and breeze to a 30 point win.
A long tradition of existence.

It’ll be ugly against UH, Memphis, UConn, UCF

It could get ugly against virtually everyone in the AAC this year. I feel like I'm watching the worst team in our league tonight. Tulane, WSU and Tulsa will beat this team. We might be competitive with ECU and South Florida...assuming Jarrey comes back, but my guess is that he will be nothing like the player he was surrounded by studs.
