What If #3

What if Memphis wins the national championship in basketball next year? The new team is looking quite fierce, and there is no doubt that we will be a national contender. With the number one recruiting class, we may be able to go all the way and finish what we could not while Derrick Rose was here. The number one obstacle for the Memphis Tigers next year will be, in my opinion, the Ohio State Buckeyes. With the number two recruiting class just behind Memphis, they will be receiving quite a bit of talent. I do not know how Pastner will try to use all the talent he is bringing in, but I know for sure that we will have a much deeper bench for all the grueling games where players will be fouling out. Hopefully these new prospects will stay at Memphis and be able to hit free throws. If Memphis wins it all, it will be our first ever national championship victory. The new recruiting class will bring in not just more point guards, but some talented power forwards and a strong center. The new recruiting class consists of Tarik Black, Chris Crawford, Joe Jackson, Antonio Barton, Will Barton, Jelan Kendrick, and Hippolyte Tsafack. The number of players being recruited are enough to start all of them together, but we know that is not going to happen. The talent will be spaced out with the veterans in order for them to grow more comfortable and learn the strategy of the team. I believe Pastner can pull the team together with the new recruits to create a powerhouse for next year. It should be a lot fun watching Memphis run an undefeated season.
