Post by dcpony »

I believe Hampton's father played at SMU. And I'm assuming SMU has no shot at him, right Hoopmanx?

Don't need to be Hoop to answer this, no we do not. He has a top 4 of KU, Memphis, UK, and Tech. KU & Memphis are expected to be the favorites.

I am hearing Memphis - so we will get to see him play at Moody...

Probably right. Amazing what hiring the right coach can do for a program.

I can easily see some of those games getting out of hand.

We will see about Memphis and Hardaway. Recruiting is only half of the equation to success. Pastner was a pretty good recruiter but could never maximize the talent he brought in. Hardaway has shown that he is a good recruiter, still has to show he can make them play good basketball.

I thought his team improved significantly as the year went on

Can't imagine Hampton choosing Memphis as they are loading up. They might just be the best in the AAC next year with a FR dominated lineup.

So the kid pulled a Mudiay on all of them...and is going to go play in New Zealand.

Grade or test score issues?
