ESPN is reporting that Memphis set up a no-holds-barred recruiting attempt for 2011 hometown recruit (5-star SF) Adonis Thomas. Evidently the video they showed at their version of Midnight Madness was in homage to Memphis alum Penny Hardaway. It showed interviews with several former players and Hardaway talking about being “home grown” and “staying at home”. It was a reference Thomas took to heart.
[QUOTE]”The whole time I was thinking that this video tribute has to be directed to me,” Thomas said. “He talked about staying home, being a hometown hero and playing and representing where you been all your life. It was great seeing it and I thought it was directed to me. It was a good video; I thought it was great. There were a lot of things on the video I didn’t know about Penny myself.” [/QUOTE] ([URL=”http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/basketball/mens/news/story?id=5706378″]source[/URL])
You can see the video [URL=”http://www.runningpony.com/clientarea/uofmpenny/”]here[/URL] and judge for yourself. As I’ve stated before, I’m perfectly happy with UK’s 2011 [I]basketball[/I] class. I’m just wondering if we can do a youtube video with [URL=”http://www.wildcatrecruits.com/playerProfile.php?Contact_ID=173″]Corey Peters[/URL] and send an anonymous link to home-state kindred [URL=”http://www.wildcatrecruits.com/playerProfile.php?Contact_ID=337″]Lamar Dawson[/URL]…
