I was being sarcastic but I have heard in recruiting a stigma attached to Memphis kids.

It's attached to ANY inner city kid. It's reality that college coaches know. It's Ellis wasn't playing basketball no way in hell he would be allowed on campus. KJ and tc look like they would still make perfect students. The way Mormon and Moore act on bench it's not that hard figuring out why they wouldn't go to class. We might not have one and done but in most of this kids environments regardless if they were all Americans or not they still got treated like baby Jordan's.

Sorry about that. LOL! I've never known you to be sarcastic. I think Handlers,agents,sponsors,alumni and other factors all have elevated the feeling of entitlement for these kids. I could go on and on about how sports have lost there true meaning as far back as grade school kids but I won't bore you.

So back on topic, anyone heard anything as to why Mormon didn't make the trip?

Davis' post game presser just talked how he this is the same thing as Q Moore. It's about maintaining the culture established already under Mick and guys need to align to that or they won't be here. Vague, but sounded to me like another - get on board or get out, your call Deshaun.

So just to add some incite to this that is purely speculation. I sit behind the bench and during the X game he was being sub'd in late in the game for defense and being pulled out on O. This happened a few possessions in a row and coming out of a defensive stand and going into a time out he walked over to the bench and said no more and sat the rest of the game. My speculation is that he has the attitude of "me first" vs. "how can I help the team".

He has played like a 'me first' guy a lot in my opinion. I like his skill on D, but I've said all along, he leaves his four teammates out to dry with his go for the steal at all cost attitude. He gets blown by for 5 on 4's far too often to be a Bearcat.
