BREAKING: Ashton Hardaway - son of Memphis HC Penny Hardaway - is returning to play for Memphis next season, he tells me. The former 4⭐️ SF has grown to 6’9” and has been putting in the work this offseason training with NBA players everyday. Ashton told me this: “Coming back to Memphis and playing for my dad is a special opportunity that I’m truly grateful for. But what I’m most excited about is the chance to show how much I’ve grown as a player. Im ready to put my full game on display and prove the work I’ve put in. I’m ready to win and make an impact.” Ashton showed lots of flashes the last two seasons, and I have no doubt that he will take full advantage of this opportunity. I think he is poised for a breakout season this year.

I saw so many goyim this week thinking USF would beat Louisville… didn’t have the heart to tell them 💔 It’s 2026… Louisville spent 50 million USF spent 50k The days of Cinderella stories in the month of March are long gone Unless you’re watching the Bachelor or something

@scottgrant2 Yeah I saw that. What Ed described has been available for multiple seasons already on Barttorvik. I’m curious to see how their product differs from what’s already available because the available resources are sufficient to what Ed described

NEWS: Memphis HC Penny Hardaway is targeting current Alabama State HC Tony Madlock to be his associate head coach, per sources. Madlock - who already spent three years on Penny’s staff as an assistant - led ASU to their first ever NCAA tournament win in 2024-25. Known as a bulldog, Madlock has legit head coaching experience under his belt + Penny knows he can trust him, which makes him an attractive hire for Penny. Fits the mold of what you every HC wants at the associate head coaching spot. Nothing is finalized yet, but a deal could come together soon.

NEWS: Memphis Assistant Jermaine “Freaky JJ” Johnson has been FIRED, as expected. Mike Davis and Roy Rogers were also fired. There were no options for them to return, despite what was previously reported. Source adds that a GM is expected to be hired this week. Several candidates have been contacted, but one is a clear leader in the running.

@GregGaston25 How did he completely take it out of context? Just curious. I feel like it’s pretty easy to understand why Penny thinks that, given everything that happened on/off the court prior to and during the season

Lmao one would hope whatever they’re coming up with isn’t something they can get for free on Bart Torvik 🤣 Just the general “LOL they’re using AI” agenda is weird to me.
Hitmen Hoops@HitmenHoops

@Matt_Infield To me, it’s just hilarious that this exact tool that Ed Scott is explaining has been around for years already 🤦‍♂️🤣 barttorvik.com/playerstat.php…

Here's the quote from Dr. Scott on how they plan to use automation/AI to help them in the portal. I struggle to see why they're getting dunked on for this. I'd be shocked if other big time programs aren't doing this already. And again, if they're not now, they will soon.
Matt Infield@Matt_Infield

Plenty of things to be critical of with Memphis basketball right now. Them saying they're gonna use AI to navigate and find players in the portal better...doesn't feel like one of them? If you're favorite team isn't using it now, they will be soon. Feels like a smart move IMO.

Nate Oats on his "Hey Coach" radio show tonight on Aden Holloway: "Look, we've got standards in our program. We've got ways we've held our guys accountable. We try to keep everything in-house. Obviously some of the situations you can't. This is one of those. Situation is a little different when we found out what was going on this morning -- I found out this morning. I guess it all went down this morning. We had to suspend him pending the investigation by the UA office of student conduct. We're disappointed in his behavior. With that said, we still love him. He's still our guy. We're going to get him the help that he needs. ... We're preparing to play without him this weekend."

NEWS: Rick Stansbury has emerged as a strong candidate for the open head coach position at Georgia Tech, per source. Interest is mutual between both parties, and if Cross gets it, expect Stansbury’s name to make the rounds at other MM/HM openings (ex. USF, if it opens). Known as one of the best recruiters in the industry, Stansbury would immediately elevate a program needing a spark. Stans brings two decades of HC experience, with the majority of those becoming the winningest coach in Mississippi State history. Would be an excellent hire to immediately revive the Georgia Tech program and bring them back to the Bobby Cremins days.

Agreed. Dalmar Ali (@Dalmar__Ali) will be a HM assistant very soon. Helped take LIU from a 7-22 team in 2023-24 season to finishing 24-10 this year and clinching a NCAAT bid. Built a strong 🇨🇦 pipeline, recruiting their three leading scorers in Greg Gordon, Malachi Davis, Jamal Fuller, + more. Was named top 100 Most Impactful Mid-Major Coach by Silver Waves Media for his major contribution in turning around the LIU program.
Nelson Castillo@NelCastNY

Also, congrats to the entire LIU coaching staff. Special shout out to @Dalmar__Ali, who is the longest tenured assistant on the staff and helped recruit so many of these players on this team.

NEWS: The expectation is that Memphis HC Penny Hardaway returns for his ninth season as head coach, per source. Additionally, Hardaway is expected to clean slate with his assistant staff before the start of portal season, source adds. Several candidates have already been contacted. In regards to Penny’s future, source cites that the administration were concerned about the “politics” and “financials” of firing Penny. For context, Memphis would have to pay a $6 million buyout + potential buyout for new coach + increase financial commitment to program.

A year after finishing 29-6 and winning the AAC title, Memphis finishes 13-19 — its worst season in over 50+ years. A disaster of a season is finally over. A lot of decisions will shake out over the next 24 hours or so — most importantly, Penny Hardaway’s future as head coach + assistant staff outlook.
