In episode 64 of GT247's Tigers in 20, host and lead writer Christian Fowler is joined by GT247 founder Brooks Hansen to discuss the latest in Memphis football and basketball.
To begin the episode, Fowler and Hansen discuss the impact that COVID-19 is having on college sports. Specifically, they discuss the spring evaluation period being compromised, and the fact that the dead period has been extended to May 31.
Fowler and Hansen discuss all the possible ways this could affect schools, coaches and players, including that this could lead to a lot of misevaluations of players. A lot of players are discovered at this time of year, but that has all changed now.
Next, the duo goes through some of the transfers that Memphis coach Penny Hardaway and the staff are after the hardest and what happened to some of the transfers the Tigers missed out on.
After discussing transfers, they move on to the two high school recruits that will make their announcements in the coming weeks – five-stars Jalen Green and Greg Brown. Green will be making his announcement on April 17 and Brown will make his on April 24, so Fowler and Hansen discuss the latest in both players' recruitments.
The duo breaks down how big the next two weeks are for Memphis, and they also explain what it could look like if Memphis lands one or both of the five-stars.
Following the discussion on Green and Brown, they move on to James Wiseman and Precious Achiuwa and break down how big it will be if Achiuwa and Wiseman are both top-10 picks. Finally, they talk about Antonio Gibson and Patrick Taylor and where they could land in the 2020 NFL Draft.
