This makes sense for a lot of colleges, but Memphis is a dirt poor rundown ghetto.

Beal Street is cool, however, living in Memphis is all about the blues. Trust me, there are no big donors anywhere near that town.

It's been a long time since I've been to Memphis, but the downtown was actually pretty cool with the Peabody Hotel and they were just starting to renovate/update Beale Street. The National Civil Rights Museum is housed in a way that incorporates the old Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated. Sun Studios and Graceland as well.

As it was described to me then, there is/was tension and governance overlap between the City of Memphis and Shelby County that made it difficult for Memphis to upgrade a lot of things.

But it has been many years, so I don't know the present situation, but if you're ever passing through there, there is a lot to see (and you can taste for yourself the difference between Memphis Bar-B-Que and other Bar-B-Que styles.
 







Guess we'll see how it goes, but guessing he gets a shot at playing time as a true fresh.


Wonder if Fleck and staff leave it completely up to the player's choice, or if they "strongly encourage" those who have a real shot to play as true freshmen to enroll early.

It's a little easier with the ability to play 4 games.

We can sprinkle him in and if and if he's a difference maker, play him. If it's just a few snaps here and there, sit him.
 



True, I forgot about that bit.

But also I was meaning, if you come in for that first (early) spring ball, that has to help your chances considerably.

Fed-Ex pours a lot of money into the program and city. IP also, to a degree.

What does it take to be an early enrollee? Just be finished with high school?

Don't forget AutoZone! :ROFLMAO:

FedEx certainly sponsors stuff in its HQ city. Not sure how much they sponsor at the U of Memphis, though? The Forum is an NBA arena not located on the University campus. I guess they do sponsor UMemphis 2k capacity baseball field ...

The area is also a football hotbed. This year, the state of Maryland has 8 4 star+ and 40 star+ recruits. It's a typical year for them.

This dude looks like he's a got "it" football player. We need this guy, he is a player. If he joins the Gophers this LeGrant jr. will earn a scholarship, if I'm a betting man I would bet money on this Cortez Legrant being a player, and making a name for himself in fall camp. He has that look just like a certain punt return guy for the Gophers. I know my opinion isn't much, but if he is a Gopher, coach Fleck and staff will see that twitch, are going to say this guy is a dude that's going to play for us.
