Save the drama. Hop gets a couple years. There have been tons of basketball coaches that took 3-4 years before having big success. LIPO and stop fretting over every single recruit that committed to Romar.

Same for Dickerson. I want him to stay because he can play, but it's not the end of the world if he leaves either.

Hop obviously knows local recruits are important. That's why Dollar and Conroy are on staff. Rice was a good assistant hire. We should recruit fine. The issue will be of Hop can coach. Nobody knows because he's never been a head coach.

Lot's of dick swinging over a few guys who really aren't swinging this program anytime soon. Basketball turns faster than football, but to expect much before year 3 with the bonfire romar left for roster construction is pretty foolish. We? should be much more worried about next year on the court and seeing if the team has any fundamentals, team structure, etc.

 
Hopkins should offer Lawson senior an assistant position ASAP.

Not to be #MemphisSuperiorityGuy but Lawson Sr was on local talk radio the other day and said he's turned down all assistant jobs this time around. Said he got to live his dream coaching his oldest sons for two years but now he wants to focus on coaching his youngest two sons. Said his big motivation for taking the Memphis job was that since it's a public Tennessee job working their two years bumped his pension up massively (he worked at a HS for 20 some years before that).

Anyway, he's not doing the Porter Sr thing. He's done at the college level, at least until the younger boys get there.
