Who are some more of the University of Memphis basketball recruits for 2009-10?
Right now they only have Will Coleman, a Joey Dorsey clone, supposedly, maybe a little bit better offensively but built like him. They are after Latavious Williams and Lance Stephenson, but the way things have been going for them so far, wouldn't surprise me if they don't get either. Both these guys keep putting off when they will commit and changing their minds and such, so I am thinking they may not have the grades or there are some other issues there. Taggert may go pro overseas. If this happens and the 2 guys above don't come, they will have a thin roster next season, like 7 scholarship players. Calipari really did a number on them. He tore them down a heck of a lot faster than he built them up, but there is optimism for the new coach and in a few years they will be back in the top 20 consistently.
