So true which is why lots of good people continue to leave.
I'd bet most of the posters on this board live on the outside of the 240 loop.
You want to limit "Memphis" to the 240-loop, you're going to miss a lot of Memphis -
downtown, airport, Shelby Farms, etc.

Players leaving is no different from companies leaving. Anything they produce for another school does nothing for Memphis. Just like a company leaving the area does nothing for Memphis.
Image is everything. Would like to see all the schools inside of Memphis get together and create a unified message to show all students that their dreams for the future can be fulfilled through a Memphis school.

You also forgot whitehaven, east memphis, hickory hill area, north memphis.
I know a few posters live inside memphis, but i'll bet most posters here live in areas like collierville, germantown, cordova, lakeland, arlington, eads, oakland, bartlett, millington, atoka, hernando, olive branch, etc.

It's really easy to sell a player to leave memphis if they want to win a national championship. We have no shot in football and right now, we can't even make the ncaa bball tourney much less win a championship.

You are right, but you're missing the most important part of the sale. Its the upfront cash and funding over the term that's most important to people and not the other stuff.

It is if you wait until they are in high school and have a lifetime being force fed P5 schools. By the time they get to 6th grade they are lost. Tigers need to get to them early as possible. They need to have Tigers in front of these kids are elementary and even pre school levels.

Yeah, Better neighborhoods. Less chance of getting robbed or murdered. One of the most dangerous cities in the country. Makes sense to me.

On THIS site, that sentiment should be embraced. Which is not meant in any way to ignore big city problems we have, like ALL BIG cities, some issues larger, some less so.
But Memphis is phucking fantastic. Enjoy other areas all you want, we do too. Regardless, Memphis is great. Especially here.
This post is Memphis as F!

Not me!
It's my visiting loop--got 15 family members there. love it.
The most 'unsafe' I ever felt was squashed between people trying to get into the Liberty Bowl for the OM game.
Two lil guys were screaming at each other with me right between....muscles tensing readying to attack. lol.
I'm thinking...dayum, ain't no way to dodge fists sardined together like this..."You're screamin in my ear," I told em.
They shut up and we all lived happily ever after!

RE: STOP leaving our CITY!!!!
I love Memphis, but my life has obviously taken me away for many reasons, none of which reflects poorly on Memphis obviously.
It's a great city with a lot of untapped potential. My big wish is as my studio gets stronger and stronger, I'd like to consider doing some work back in Memphis to help out. I've walked a lot in some areas that could really use some smart development to help drive some things in a good direction and I'd love to get involved.
But yeah, people are going to go to schools that work for them, 901 or not. Up until 2000 or so, you weren't getting any architecture students (my major), since the school was founded around then. UofM wasn't even an option for me then, hence WUSTL.
It is what it is. Memphis is fantastic and I feel the same affection for StL and Brooklyn.

Maybe signing some of the top local (area) kids could change that. Just a thought.
