67, do you agree with me that we might be better off holding the rest of our scholarships until spring? Tabb is a marginal SEC prospect. I think if we hold the scholarships, let Pearl's style of play get more exposure throughout the season, and look at the JC ranks, we will be able to put a team on the floor next year that can contend for an NCAA berth.

It depends on what happens over the next 3 weeks.

There are alot of rumors swirling and if true it could shake up recruiting. I'm not saying its going to happen but what happens if Thad Young doesn't attend Memphis? Kemp put alot of stock in the Thad to Memphis deal and that helped sway him to there, what happens if Thad goes to Arkansas or even Georgia Tech?
If Thad goes to Arkansas what happens to Weems who seemed to shy away from Memphis due to the fact everyone thought Thad was going there?

As for waiting til the Spring, I doubt you'll get a JC PG aith the talent needed to help this team anymore than what you could pick up this fall. But that is an Option I'm sure Pearl is looking into or maybe he has and likes his options now. There is also a rumor out that Pearl has another surprise up his sleeve, so we'll all have to wait and see.

Tabb did turn down Purdue and Depaul when he signed last year

As we've discussed, I get pretty good information from certain people employed by Memphis, I would be utterly shocked if Willie Kemp changes his mind. Remember, Purdue's rebuilding and DePaul had a new coach who needed
some warm bodies. I think there would be a better option, either a JC or someone who emerges over the season, in the spring.

KNS is reporting that Young's dad doesn't want him to go to Memphis because Thaddeus wants to play out of state. Thaddeus says that Memphis is still in it but his dad doesn't want him to go to Memphis because the coach is white. Sounds like Memphis is shaking. TN on the other hand appears to shaking and baking. C'mon Willie TN wants ya at the Candy Factory!
