Butch grabbing some recruits will happen, Barnes probably not so much.
If Pastner gets the boot which looks probable, or is kept on and continues to be mediocre, that may open the window to snag one or two.
The fact Jarnell's "little" brother is also looking to play football pretty much eliminated Memphis from his list, so he will be one to watch.
Pastner struggling definitely opens the door, but as we all know UT has always struggled to recruit Memphis. Barnes did well recruiting Texas and Canada, but until proven otherwise I don't see that translating to Memphis. I don't expect Isaiah to play basketball, he's much better at football.
Tennesse will never cherry pick Memphis, but they can pull a player or two from there and Pastner struggling makes that even more possible Imo
I gotcha. Unfortunately for both UT and Memphis there aren't many great prospects coming through the city in the next few years. Many aren't sold on Fisher and he's trending down. Stokes will most likely play football. Vick is drawing interest from Kansas and Kentucky but only because he is willing to reclass. The next elite recruit is the younger Lawson, but who knows where his dad will be coaching by then.
I think Vick is a top 100 player regadless of class, so I wouldn't dismiss him. Fisher is trending down, but he also is still likely a top 100 player IMO.
