What are they saying about Scooty?

Based on his sister's tweet, t sounds like his teammates are saying stuff. Don't know if it is the ones transferring or still on the team, but sounds like a chemistry issue.

On twitter, there is one crazy fan who has gone insane with his love for Andy Kennedy. He has no filter and doesn't care what damage he does to recruiting in trashing the current staff and other fans who are a little more realistic.

They wont restrict him. Few years ago, Pastner tried to restrict a player from transferring to Virginia because VA was on the schedule the next season. Huge backlash and UM ended up caving. They won't do that again. If Johnson wants to come to UAB, Memphis won't restrict him.

Also, it would look really bad considering Wichita State just released Alex Lomax from his LOI so he could come to Memphis, a conference opponent. After such a magnanimous jester, Memphis is not going to look bad placing restrictions.

He has to sit out next season anyway, so probably doesn't matter...

You mean like a bunch of the fans on here were doing during the AD Search?

That's good to know. Thanks for the perspective.

He may not with the coaching change if he petitions the NCAA.
