Taj79 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Did I see some bad mojo from Penny on dismissing Nesbit? Could be coachspeak cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone commits somewhere else, someone says " that's because we quit recruiting him" Someone else will call him a tool. It's like Salinas and paystubs Obviously if you're not coming to SLU you're a tool and it's only because we quit recruiting you. And probably never really offered.

majerus mojo Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I'm confused. This team didn't make the tournament and (I'm assuming) is losing 30+ Goodwin minutes at guard. We can't find PT for Nesbitt? Wouldn't he immediately be 1B to Perkins? slufanskip, BuiltFordBills, Slu let the dogs out? and 2 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what Carter is talking about either. The next couple days is all about interested coaches figuring out what went down in Memphis. If this is just a case of a school bad-mouthing a kid as he goes out the door, then Nesbitt is still the same 6'6 matchup nightmare everyone thought he was. Also if Porter goes to Oklahoma, Loyola is one less school to worry about for Mason Madsen's services. His brother just committed to Utah by the way.

Nesbitt comes to campus early to get a head start. Penny’s not expecting that, and Nesbitt only plays 12 minutes. Now Nesbitt is thinking, “6 months ago, you told me I was good enough to be a 1-and-done, which is the main reason I chose Memphis, and now you can only find 12 minutes for me on an NIT team? WTF?” It’s sounds to me like a classic case of a kid having unrealistic expectations and a coach feeding those unrealistic expectations in order to get a commitment. And now the kid ends up getting screwed over. It’s sad. SLU_Nick, bauman, BuiltFordBills and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if Nesbitt had already decided he was going to enroll early and Penny felt backed into a corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean look how overcommitted Memphis was for next year before all these kids started transferring. They had to have a bunch of transfers because they didn’t have enough scholarships to go around. Penny seems like the kind of coach that does whatever he has to to get as many commitments as he can and worries about the consequences later.

Couldn’t the “problem” be that he was expecting to be a big time contributor from Day 1, based on promises that were made to him, and was inevitably pissed off when that didn’t happen. And now Memphis is trying to twist the narrative to say that Nesbitt is selfish and had unreasonable expectations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply saying that's the way I interpret that article. it reads to me like he saying the player did something wrong. I'm not saying or insinuating he did. I have no idea. It's why I asked if he was a Memphis reporter. If he was he may be trying to make Memphis out to look like it's all on the player and not Memphis.

It being a story on 247, and I know Memphis has a fan board on 247, I was assuming he was a Memphis reporter, but that’s a good point.
