You can be from Memphis and acknowledge the city’s imperfections. That doesn’t make someone less of a Memphian. It makes them a realistic human. Heck, I enjoy Memphis but can agree there’s a lot of work for the city to do.
Last night alone showed why the tigers will always be bigger than the grizzlies in Memphis. No one is getting up for a preseason nba game like people did for last night. And that’s no disrespect to the grizzlies, just the reality we live in.
Worked hard for this. So many people sacrificed so I could graduate. With greater power comes great responsibility. God is good. 4 years of time at the

paid off today. Time to get paid and write until I can’t anymore. Let’s go.
Curtis Givens III is a key target of Penny Hardaway and his staff. The Class of 2024 4-star point guard has his options, but the Memphis native appreciates the attention being shown to him by the U of M. Story below.
If anyone ever tries to tell you Edey is not an elite defender, can’t guard the perimeter, or defend quick guards 1 on 1:
1. They do not know ball, and are making up nonsense
2. Show them this video please🙏
Per source, Big South Defensive Player of the Year and first team All-Conference member Alasia Smith has transferred to Memphis. Huge get for new Tigers head coach Alex Simmons.
Hip hop mogul, actor and philanthropist Ice Cube will be to Memphis for the Big3 at the Fedexforum tomorrow. I spoke with him on how the league came to be, his plans for the future with it, and Memphis possibly getting their own team.
My story below.
My little brother Landyn Seaberry just wrote his first book “My View”. It details his life and how he’s overcome a lot from having autism. If you’re interested in purchasing one, dm me and we talk through there.
I’m very proud of him, he put a lot of effort into this project.
NEW: The University of Memphis women's basketball team will play against the University of Tennessee during the 2023-24 season. This will be the first of two matchups between the schools, with the other slated for the 2024-25 season.
I hope Kendric Davis signs with anyone but Memphis, and that’s only because I think the national audience doesn’t know how good of a player he was. Memphis does. We were blessed to have him as a Tiger for one year, go let him be great elsewhere. And that’s no disrespect to anyone
According to Berk Communications Vice President of Sports and Entertainment Melanie Warren Van Dussen, Grizzlies star Ja Morant has agreed to a partnership with the sports drink company BODYARMOR. Huge accomplishment for the 21-year point guard.
Memphis will be one of the hosts the first and second round of the NCAA tournament in basketball. Interesting as we talk about stadium costs and whatnot.
Clearly, the NCAA has no issue with how the venue is clearly constructed
One could make the argument that Memphis has created a superteam in the college basketball ranks. Not from a 5-star freshmen perspective, but from a cumulative amount of experience and accomplishments that those guys have.
It's early, but the outlook is promising
I'm trying to explain to my friend how significant it is for Memphis to win a recruiting battle over Florida in football. I do not think he's comprehending it.
I caught up with University of Memphis football players

Getting to be on U of M school's radio broadcast for this one is a memory I'll never ever forget.
Arguably the biggest sporting event in Memphis football history.
The American Baseball Pitcher of the Year, Dalton Fowler, has been drafted in the 9th round of the MLB Draft to the Tampa Bay Rays!

Robert Dozier is making his return to Memphis later this month, and he's anticipating playing in the Fedexforum again. That's where he became a star at the University of Memphis.
My latest story below

@UsherNBA
I thought he’d be the next big thing, super tall guard that could do a bit of everything. Utah gave him plenty of time to get right but I’m happy he’s thriving in Dallas
From college football walk-on to 37 straight starts at USF, Memphis Showboats linebacker Greg Reaves has always been determined to succeed at pro football. My latest story below.
Inner ear monitors saved the day at the last minute 🙏🏻 but, mom still can’t take a still video 😂 anyways. She shot the Jumbotron. She tries her best. So here’s a video of a video of me singing at the

Averaged 11.1 points and 4.1 assists per game this season.
RIP to GMA🙏🏿 may you watch down on me and the fam. Lord willing I’ll be able to accomplish the goals I told you about, I’m just devastated I can’t pay you back for all you did😭😭
I feel for Kennedy chandler, I thought he’d grow here in Memphis. Having spoken to his dad before the season, he was so confident in his son thriving here. It’s still possible but it’s taken a detour
“I could leave [Memphis], but then I don’t think the impact I desire to make would be the same. I want to bring about change, and I think my fellow 2023 Hamilton graduates and I really have a good chance of making a difference.”

Honestly, I wish Memphis fans would talk more about the 2012-13 Memphis Tigers squad. That was the last M squad that won 30+ games, very well rounded team.
Memphis has a new era of young journalists I’m excited about… nothing wrong with the old heads but I like seeing new thoughts from various publications
University of Memphis freshman guard Tanquel Welch entered the transfer portal shortly after the season. However, she just confirmed with me she’s staying with the Tigers. There’s a lot of upside to her game, and despite playing a limited role last season, she’s ready to take off
Madison Griggs considered transferring, but her connection to new Memphis womens basketball head coach Alex Simmons convinced her to stay. I talked with both about Griggs deciding to stay, and more. My LATEST story.
Tigers head coach Katrina Merriweather has paid tribute to the fans the entire season, and Wednesday night was no exception. With the Tigers locked in as the second seed in conference tourney play, I talked about it in my story below.
Lol I remember when I said Darius Garland would be better than Morant almost two years ago…. Garland has caught up and don’t say he hasn’t…. They’re both on tier 1 of point guards and if you disagree you don’t watch the Cavs
@PAKA_FLOCKA
Ziaire Williams. The former top 10 pick must show he can be a contributor for a team that has the potential to go very far in the playoffs. If Williams puts it together and stays healthy, he gives the Grizzlies another young option at the wing spot.
My dad was telling me how proud he's going to be when I have my own radio show and write on the national level and I almost got emotional......
Pops is always there when no one else is....
