anybody here anything about Wooddale getting some transfers.

No I haven't, especially with 'Pennymania' overtaking the city of Memphis ... but I would expect that with JL and the PG both coming back for two more seasons.

Nobody that comes right off the top of my head. The talent seems to have started to fall off 2016-17. This year seemed to be the valley (I know Wiseman was in this class) then it's going to start climbing again next year.

It's not uncommon for it to go in cycles. Does anyone remember how talented that 2006 class was? Thaddeus Young, Willie Kemp, Wayne Chism, Brandan Wright, Tyler Smith, Jarvis Varnado. Liberty won it all. 

With all due respect, Kemp, Chism, Wright, and Varnado weren't Memphis kids.

https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/sports/high-school/2019/08/14/moussa-cisse-transferring-memphis-lausanne/2011427001/

Moussa Cisse, the nation's No. 9 basketball prospect in the class of 2021 according to the 247Sports Composite, announced on Twitter that he will transfer to Lausanne. Cisse previously attended Christ The King Regional in Queens, New York.

"I really thanks Christ the king for the good 2 years the give me and teach me a lot things and thanks New York City my next chapter year 3," Cisse wrote.

Cisse, a 6-foot-9, 200 pound power forward, is the No. 4 power forward in the nation. He played on the AAU circuit with Expressions (MA) Elite. Cisse holds reported offers from UConn and Georgia.

Lausanne coach Marvis Davis said that Cisse's family is working with the Lausanne admissions team and that the transfer isn't quite final yet.

"I do know and can tell you on the record that he is working with our admissions team," Davis said.

With Cisse's transfer, five of the 2021 ESPN 60 prospects — Cisse, Johnathan Lawson, Kennedy Chandler, Jalen Brown, Alden Applewhite are in Memphis.

The Commercial Appeal: ESPN makes Kennedy Chandler a 5-star prospect

https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/sports/high-school/2019/08/21/high-school-basketball-recruiting-kennedy-chandler-ranked-5-star-espn/2073073001/

 

Briarcrest Christian's Kennedy Chandler moved up over 20 spots in the latest ESPN 60 rankings for the Class of 2021. The junior point guard was previously No. 43. Now he's No. 18 and a five-star prospect.

Since leading Briarcrest Christian to its first state title in over a decade in March, Chandler's recruiting stock rose rapidly. A strong summer on the EYBL circuit with Mokan Elite culminated in a Peach Jam title.

Chandler holds offers from Memphis, Kansas, Michigan, and USC among others. He is the No. 2 junior prospect in the state according to ESPN behind recent Lausanne transfer Moussa Cisse who is ranked No. 9 overall.

Wooddale's Johnathan Lawson (No. 43), Lausanne's Alden Applewhite (No. 48) and Trezevant's Jalen Brown (No. 55) are also in the ESPN rankings.

    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
