Massive 7-0 280# C Russell Tchewa showed great improvement for the South Florida Bulls last season and even more is expected this season. He recently returned to his native Camaroon to help care for his Father who had contacted Covid. Now he is having difficulty getting a student visa to get back into the USA. He is taking his courses online this semester while this problem gets sorted out.

2022 6-4 205# SG Jacob Wilson from Baron Rouge, LA, who had committed to Wichita State will be transferring prior to his Freshman year. He previously had offers from a number of mid-low majors including UNO, Nicholls State, Southern, and Northwestern State.

I'm still not sure if Albert is on scholarship for us. The sites I have seen show him as a walk on. Several people here have said he is on scholarship. If we do have the open 13th spot, does Tulane have any interest in this kid, the Houston kid that just left or the Memphis kid that left? The Houston big man would probably make the most sense.

Wichita State has churned players at nearly the pace of Memphis the last few years so maybe this shouldn't be so surprising, but I don't remember this being so prevalent in the past.

I know we lost Kipper Nichols before he ever played for Tulane. I don't recall the timing, but if I had to guess it was in the middle of the summer.

It is my understanding Braelee Albert is on scholarship, but I could be wrong.

Here we go again….. 6-10 post Jahmar Young Jr, who transferred from SMU to Memphis, then decommitted about a week ago, has now recommitted to Memphis.

[doc]

PG Alex Lomax who was a starter last year at Memphis, then left to go pro, has now announced he is returning to Memphis as a 5th year player. Penny is scrambling to fill out his roster.

Penny is running Memphis like he has a G league squad to pull from.

Memphis basketball more transactions than an NFL team in August.

Even as schools are going into fall session, players are transferring. The most notable recent transfer is all-Horizon League senior combo guard 6-3 Damaria Franklin from the University of Illinois-Chicago. He scored 17ppg last season and also lead his team in rebounds and assists. He is a slasher with a good mid-range game. He announced he was transferring 2 days ago and schools began contacting him immediately. It is no surprise Memphis got involved and is doing a zoom call with him today. Arizona State, Iowa State, Mississippi State, Kansas State, DePaul, Alabama, Murray State, Tampa, and Oklahoma are also involved.

I believe he is, so we do not have any remaining scholarships.

UIC SG Damaria Franklin is transferring to Memphis. Penny Hardaway filled his roster. He still might have one more scholarship as his son is probably considered a walk-on.

USF C Russell Tchewa has received his VISA and will be returning to school.

2022 Baton Rouge, LA SG Jacob Wilson who committed to Wichita State but then decommitted, has signed with Louisiana Monroe.

I presume Dalen Davis, one of the finest guards in Chicago, will be visiting Tulane this weekend.

Did Davis visit and how did it go?

Davis will announce his choice (between Tulane and Princeton) on his birthday, Oct. 15.

SMU has finally signed the paperwork to allow AAC POY PG Kendric Davis to be immediately eligible this season at Memphis.

Pete, you need to send him your rationale back in the day!

All he really needs is to see the average temperatures from December to February in New Orleans vs. Princeton, NJ.

Plus Princeton had really restricted COVID attendance policies for basketball games. It may be Tulane actually draws more fans than Princeton (at least last season)

He's from Chicago, I don't think temp is going to matter to him too much.

I dunno man, being from cold weather is MORE impetus to go somewhere warm. Probably more than guys from warm weather being afraid to leave it.

That's why under Smith we got some really good O-linemen from the midwest.

Schools have begun contacting him including Memphis, Kansas State, Mississippi State, Rhode Island, Alabama, Oregon, Wake Forest, San Diego, U Mass, Nebraska, and Clemson. Perez had previously been at Marquette and Gardner-Webb. Perez has stated he expects other players on the team to transfer.

Who doesn’t Memphis contact? They seem more like a football team than a 13 man basketball team.

Good point about Memphis

Reading Doc’s posts you sometimes think Hunter offers everyone who walks. Hardaway seems to offer anyone who can breathe.
