AAC basketball news thread
just a thread to put up random basketball news that probably doesnt deserve its own thread



- memphis and Tennessee will play in basketball next season

- connor crabtree (tulane basketballl commit) is down to memphis and tulane, wants to decide in the next week or 2

- james akinjo (espn 100 pg, uconn decommit) since decommitting has become the hottest prospect in the nation, wichita is heavily after him..rumored to still be strongly interested in uconn

-Wendell Mitchell (#1 juco in america) has smu is in his final 5..recently followed lots of smu players

-5star top 10 2019 player Ashton Hagans thinking about reclassifying to 2018..he was pennys first official recruiting trip..unclear the potential there

-Wichita State's Conner Frankamp and Shaq Morris will represent the American in the 3X3UHoops tournament this week.

-- there are rumors dunphy might head to la salle, his alma...just a pure rumor at this point with no credible source

- after dominate scoring performance in tournament, Rob gray finished as the AAC scoring champ for second straight year, jumping martin

- gary clark and landry shamet are ap all american honorees

Dude shoots 39.5% from 3.

And Crabtree shot 47% and 45% from 3, his last 2 seasons.

Aren't you guys already going to have a bunch of Seniors next year?

Not sure a grad transfer makes all that much sense.

UCF's A.J. Davis will be playing in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament in April.

I tried to see if any other AAC players are in the tournament but could not find anything. However, if I find any info I will post it here...

We lack much of any shooting on the current roster

Yep. But we have probably 6 slots to fill, and only one so far (Lomax). Our big recruiting year should be 2019, so a grad transfer makes sense to clear it out for 2019, yet take advantage of the need to fill spots for 2018.

In 2019, we will likely get James Wiseman, Malcolm Dandridge and Chandler Lawson, all starters for Penny at East. Plus a few more on the line.

Good point. I don't think we had a single 3 point shooter much over 33% this season.

Edit: Thornton was 37.7%, but on only 20 of 53 attempts.

Davenport was 35.5% Nobody else was over 33.3%.

Houston is going after OU transfer Kam McGusty. Would be a very good pickup for the Coogs.

Why wouldn’t Chandler Lawson go to Kansas and play with his brother?

Conner will also be in the 3 pt contest. Conner is actually a great selection for 3 on 3. Gives him extra space. He's pretty damn good in 1 on 1 non-pressure situations where he's just having fun.

The Lawson thing is real weird. If anyone other than Tubby had been Memphis' coach, they'd probably all still be in Memphis. Lawson family is still pretty close with Penny as well.

Because he would rather stay home with his parents and play for his hometown school. Dad Lawson and Penny are extremely tight. Penny wanted to put Dad on staff in some capacity, but admin probably nixed it.

And a rumor out there Dedric and KJ thought about coming back.

And never say never, but Penny seems to think Chandler and Jonathan will both play for him.
