Memphis is a cluster. Pastner is a solid recruiter and overall good guy, only reason he hasn't been canned - yet.Memphis denies the request without giving a reason. Weird.

haha yeah, we can move along. ship sailed 2 years ago. Would say it worked out fine for us.He's not going to Duke, IMO. I know, I am really going out on a limb there LOL.
Sounds like a headcase to me if any of that is true. If he doesn't want to play Basketball again because his girlfriend broke up with him then he sounds mentally weak.
go get him Steve!Latest has Notre Dame and Marquette in the hunt for Nichols.

Bring him on home... So what he made a bad decision to go to Memphis...we all make mistakes. He can get some good counseling, good teamwork, good coaching, and soon Duke fans will get another good SHIP! COME ON DOWN!!!!Read today on CBSSportsline that Duke is the favorite if Memphis continues to block his transfer to UVA, his first choice. He would have to sit out a year, but was a five star recruit and played well for the Tigers.
As an aside, remember the days when Memphis was actually good and Pastner was considered an up-and-coming genius? How the mighty have fallen.

IF GILES COMMITS!!!!!I'm sure we'd love to have him as a rotation player / insurance policy if Giles goes elsewhere -- but I have a hard time believing that Nichols would seriously consider Duke with the 2016 class we are assembling. As a RS Jr. (which is what he'd be), Nichols is looking to attend a school where he can make an immediate impact and showcase his talents for the NBA. That clearly won't be here if Giles commits.
I agree on the baggage, but that happens to many players...some admit, some don't. His baggage got out! His skill, experience, and desire to go to the league can help a team like ours. I really wonder if Duke's team next year has a go to player? Some may not have like Quinn's character pre-senior year, but no one denied his skill set in college ball. We all know Austin can score and rebound. For 16 -17 he may be worth it.I don't think we need him. Rumors are that he's got some baggage from being dumped by his girl friend. Just rumors though. Unless our recruiting goes down the drain and several players transfer in the next year or so we will be in good shape. OFC
Memphis lifted the sanctions. Lawyering up always works. Now he's free to go to UVA.
