KJ Lawson on Tulane " Toughest decision I had to make in my life, I hated to make it because I know how it feels to be on the short end of the stick but the Lord has blessed me with a sound mind & situation at Tulane, I get to play and finish my masters, everything feels great"
University of Memphis coach Penny Hardaway is now recruiting Wooddale guard Johnathan Lawson...the 6'7 6'8 had tremendous year averaging 27ppg & 14 rbs...
Tennessee’s Gatorade Player of the Year, Johnathan Lawson, talked his recruitment with
@Stockrisers
. 10+ programs involved, plus, Memphis’ Penny Hardaway placed a call with him last night. | Story:
For those who don't know, remember the young man that was booed viciously in his return here? KJ? He called me out of the blue one day at work & said Chuck, "I say they should go to Memphis" (Chandler & Johnathan) Me shocked, I said why KJ, he said, "Chuck, why not" ironic huh..
I don't like to brag on my family because I know how people are..I don't talk about them much at all. Today, I'm proud as hell, my brother, 2 state titles as head coach, Johnathan 2 titles, KJ 2, Dedric 1, Chandler's 4 makes it 11 in one household!! Keelon 1st yr, STATE CHAMPS!!
All of this seems surreal, full circle for my nephews, I'm proud of the decision they made on their own as young men...I'm really happy for both of them
KJ Lawson, a 6'8 G/F Kansas transfer has been hearing from Oregon, Boston College, University Of Arkansas, San Diego, Nebraska, GA State, Butler, SMU, TN State, South Alabama and UAB....
Whitehaven High School's 7'4 C Jordan Wilmore has received an offer from Rick Barnes and the UT Vols...improved offensively from the summer with the soft jump hook, lots of upside and potential!!
Johnathan Lawson Tennesse Gatorade Player Of The Year!! Big time accomplishment, brother Dedric was Gatorade Player Of The Year his junior year as well....
4 state titles (3 Triple A, 1 Double A) 2 state MVP awards...I would say that's a pretty good way to end a high school basketball career Chandler Lawson....
The University Of Oregon has offered 2021 Johnathan Lawson of Wooddale HS...TN Gatorade Player Of The Year averaged 27ppg, 14 rbs and 7 assist this past season...
Wooddale High School/Hoop City 2021 Guard Johnathan Lawson has received offers from LSU and Arkansas today with heavy interest from Syracuse and Indiana as well...expect offers from both by week's end
Mason Miller with the lob to himself!! Safe to say that Houston avenged their 1 loss so far tonight with a lopsided 86-59 win over Bartlett.....

You don't like Memphis, move, it's simple. It can't get any easier than 1 + 1 =2..folks love to shit on the city but continue to stay in a place they hate and it's so bad, it's this, it's that. I didn't like my old job anymore, you know what I did, I got another..see..easy peasy
Penny building his type of team..long interchangeable wings..big guards..after Lomax who a dog...I guarantee you wont see anyone at guard but 6'2 and over....
I just witnessed a hell of a game..Wooddale vs CBHS...OT 79-77 Wooddale with the win..Johnathan Lawson 33 pts, 20 rbs and 10 assist..2022 stud Chandler Jackson with 29!! Jackson is the best player in 2022 in the city!!
That's a nice get for Penny..on the real, best shotblocker I've seen live in action...on the high school level.I know there have been really good ones but he's the best I've seen..super hero like athleticism and timing as a defender..growing offensive gm but monster defensively
If I'm Jordan Poole, every time I see Draymond, it's on sight, practice, game, shoot around, film, team dinner, lunch, team bus, airplane, wherever, I gotta get you, sorry, no other way around that..
Tigers fans have a right to be happier than anyone right now...but who also should be happy..high school coaches in the Memphis area...lol..can't use Penny as the reason you don't win games anymore..
Do you truly want to know if you have an offer? Tell that coach you ready to sign....if he says let's hold off for a minute....that offer not an offer....
4 Memphis players in the top 100 by ESPN in the 2021 class, Johnathan Lawson, 20th, Alden Applewhite 42nd, Kennedy Chandler 43rd, and Jalen Brown, 52....if you wanna be technical, you could say 5 Memphis players because Dallan Coleman (23rd) is from Memphis but not playing in FLA
Former Memphis East/Findlay Prep and South Carolina player TJ Moss has committed to McNeese State..the 6'4 point guard will have an immediate impact and should go in as one of their lead guys the moment he steps on campus...Congratulations TJ!
I'm happy for Chandler man, he gonna play on a good team but man, he's not gonna play much smh....Some of Memphis media with a nice lil parting shot...folks find a way shit on you boy...
Shout out to Memphian Todd Day, a high school hoop legend in the city, former 10 year NBA vet and his program for earning a spot in the NAIA national tournament. They are 21-8 on the season. Congratulations Todd!
Big Bro Keelon has a chance to do something special tonight! Take Wooddale to the state for the first time in the school's history!! Wish my mom and brother were here to see this!
Big time performance today for Montverde 2024 PG Curtis Givens III...28 in front of Penny Hardaway, Coach Cal and countless big time programs! Givens is upticking to another level..maybe as future top 25 guy nationally..
The University Of Virginia has reached out to 6'8 2023 Fayette Ware High School wing Damarien "Dink" Yates...expecting a huge year in his senior campaign this season....
My pops said there were 2500 plus people at Coach A funeral today! Shows you his impact on former players and the basketball community in Memphis! Today is CoachA day in the City Of Memphis!
TN Gatorade Player of The Year Johnathan Lawson had a monster high school season and was primed for and even bigger breakout this spring/summer, the 6'7 guard has recently heard from Michigan. Super versatile, 1-4 position, play maker, pass first type but can score with anyone!
Lot of kids I see coming to high school think playing basketball is going to be easy.. it's not like middle school, your going from playing 13-14 yr olds to 17-18 yr olds if you lucky enough make your varsity team...work your butt off, stop thinking you have made it! Be humble!!
I miss my mom all yr but today..for the last 2 yrs..it's been tough..you guys cherish your mom! It's hard today! I can't look at her pics without crying..
Tonight's starting 🖐.
@chandlerlawson0

Jesse Payne 2020 Guard (Whitehaven HS) just made a decision to play basketball at Christian Brothers University and it couldn't happen to a better young man!! The Bucs are getting a good one in him!! Play both guard spots, shoots it as good as anyone in the city, high IQ!
Ahhhh...you can smell it...first high school games of the year..old popcorn but it's supposed to be fresh..folks trying to use 2012 TSSAA passes to get in gms, people sneaking in the back door, when they kids don't get the ball...parents yelling pass the damn ball...I love it!!
Some are so delusional about this basketball stuff.....I'm thinking of putting together an all delusion team of parents...basketball is not as easy as rolling the ball out and saying you d1 and then saying kids are pros that don't have any offers at all? Can't be serious...
Chandler Jackson on receiving an offer from his home town Memphis Tigers "It felt good, it’s an offer I been waiting on for a long time I so happy and smiling"
Have all the respect in the world for Alo...through adversity...trials of being a hometown guy at the home school..it can be tough..he didn't get down on himself..he kept going...that's what makes men! Alo is going to be great in the game of life!
@iamalo02
Salute!
Dedric Lawson of Goyang Carrot Jumpers drops a double double of 35pts and 17rebs against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus! Show some love for this fella 👀

I'm going to keep it a buck for a second..if you have an offer seniors, take it right now! Go where your needed! That's been the whole goal right? To get a schollie, go to school for free? If it's in front of you, take it! It's cold out there, literally & figuratively...
Saddest ish I've seen in awhile man..Terrance Clarke mom, pouring out emotion, her son on the screen at the draft..honorable draftee, that was big by the NBA...can't lie, I was lil teary eyed...she had remarkable strength to even be there..that's a strong woman...
Johnathan Lawson said he's looking forward to be coached by Mike Miller, "he can really help me with my jumper and get me ready for college. Lawson also said " I bring versatility at the combo guard/wing, just whatever they need me to do, I can do it and lots of toughness...
Remember this name... 6'7 Dario Domingos... physical 4 man with touch to the 3 who seeks contact, nimble feet, take u with him & finsh with the bump, once on his hip, its a foul or bucket..
Hoop City Pro Day..first day in the books!! Shout out to Ja Morant for speaking with the players on work ethic, taking care of your body, always trying to get better! He said there are always ways to improve your game...
🎬FRESHMAN SEASON REVIEW 🎬
Memphis G/F Johnathan Lawson (
@Lawgang8
) is a “versatile guard with good size, length, and athleticism that fills a number of roles.”
“Consistent shooting and two-way playmaking make him a name to watch for in the 2024 NBA draft.” -
@DraftDeeper
I will be so glad when Memphis basketball season is over with for Jay. Folks hard as hell on him, great kid, doesn't cause any issues, never in trouble, not playing 25 minutes, not taking forced shots. I kinda feel bad for him because he doesn't deserve that...
