Amzil looks like a "stretch 4" (he likes to shoot the 3). As opposed to a post-up big who will join Omier in doing the dirty work, defending and scoring from the high post or down low. We could win playing with either approach -- basically, two Power Forwards, or a 4 (Omier) and a more classic 5 man.

Edwards is in the portal solely for NIL and Ruiz seems like a vengeful prick so have to think we’re going to be in on this

This is a need. Put him at the 5 and Norchad at his natural position (PF). Miami eats this year and wins the natty.

Would be hilarious if Miami lands Edwards and Boeheim cries more in his retirement community.

I don’t care if the doesn’t play a single second here. Him transferring and doing a lifewallet photo-op is all I want.

This guy would legit make us a top 5 team. If Wong came back a case could be made for us being #1

What’s so dysfunctional about Memphis?
Penny just put together his best season as HC there.

Very peculiar choice for a kid sought by dozens of schools.

Hardaway most certainly had his best season at Memphis. I just find it surprising with all the interest shown to this kid he chose Memphis. Thought he would land in a Power 5 conference. With Houston, and to less extent Cincinnati, leaving the American for the Big 12, the conference is definitely much weaker.

The Power 5 ethos doesn’t really exist in CBB like it does in Football.
The best conference is the Big East & half of the teams in the Final Four were from the Mountain West & C-USA.
Memphis has been a prime destination for big time Ballers since Calipari & Derrick Rose put’em on the map.
Penny has already put 5 players in the NBA during his tenure at Memphis, they’re not small unknown program, they attract top level recruits & play big matchups every year now.
They played, Bama, Auburn, TAMU, Seton Hall, Nebraska & Stanford all this year.

May be as simple as the fact that Penny Hardaway got both Precious Achiuwa and the Wiseman kid drafted in the first round. Coach L on the other hand has struggled to get big men into the league at all. This is absolutely a negative recruiting point.
These kids are getting paid now, so getting drafted to the league is the goal.

Edwards played strongly against us. He can score the basketball for sure. Weakest part of his game is keeping offensive rebounders blocked out. He's a bit soft there but ... overall, he'd be a terrific get.
