Tubby has been bad for Memphis. I didn't like the hire for Memphis; could've done much better. I felt like he'd take the retirement money and run. And he has.

Memphis is looking at a sub-10 win season next year. First time since Moe Iba was our coach in the 60s.

That's certainly what happened the last time a Tubs was hired away from Texas Tech... 03-lmfao

RE: Both Lawson brother's transferring from Memphis
This hurts for Memphis (obviously the most) but also for the AAC.

Looking at a really down Memphis next year and likely a rebuilding Memphis the following year. Probably good they get to get rid of Keelon Sr., but losing those two is a major blow in the immediate future.

You do have a couple good recruits coming in. Depending on how the non-con goes, you could certainly be a .500 team.

Tubby needs to get his own guys. The Lawson family was a volatile predicament to walk into in the first place. Credit him for trying and hiring their Dad.
Now the program is his.

In the long run this could be good news, but for the next two season I doubt Memphis is more competitive than they were this year. And next season is likely to be really rough. Hopefully Tubby can go get a dynamite recruiter.

UConn has been crushed with transfers, now Memphis and Tacko may get drafted. Really rough for the league.

Pastner not looking so bad now.

Jeff Lebo is going to land every single AAC transfer this offseason.

Watch out, American.

Tacko isn't getting drafted (yet)

We still have SMU, Cincy, probably WSU. I think Tulsa or Temple could make the jump this year as well and I'll never count out UCONN when they have quality guards.

UConn is hit the hardest by all this because UCF and Memphis have good football teams...UConn doesn't. The only thing we offer is basketball and soccer(but who really cares about soccer) so we are falling apart...

I agree this while rough in the short term is probably best for the long term. Hiring parents to recruit their children is just bad and it put Tubby in a bad spot. Now he can build with his guys from the ground up.

This conference desperately needs UCONN, Memphis, and Temple to return to form. If they ever do (IF), combined with Cincy, SMU, and Wichita St we would be a 4-5 bid league annually with another one or two NIT.

What are the chances Ollie and Dunphy get canned? Gotta be soon I would think.
