As we saw five-star recruit Precious Achiuwa, a 6-9 Small Forward from Montverde, Fl, sign with first year coach Penny Hardaway’s Memphis Tigers. We will see some of the best high school talent in Memphis.
Alongside Precious, who is the number 14th ranked in the nation, Penny has signed number one recruit James Wiseman, 37 Boogie Ellis, 48 DJ Jeffries, and 56 Lester Quinones. (You can find the rest of their recruits on this link here)
For this being his first year there has to be some bag dropping. I mean there is absolutely no way that his “recruiting”is actually this solid. We used to see Duke as the ultimate bag man, but it looks like Mr. Hardaway is running away with the title for this class.
Last year the Tigers had a class that averaged 89% recruiting average. This year it’s up to 98%. I don’t care who you are, I don’t care what you do. There is no way that you can tell me that there is no way that they aren’t paying their players.
