Summer workouts officially began June 9 for Penny Hardaway's rebuilt Memphis basketball roster. Most of the Tigers — including Dug McDaniel, Sincere Parker, Zachary Davis, Curtis Givens III and Aaron Bradshaw, among others — trickled in the past couple of weeks.

Boise State athletic director Jeremiah Dickey on whether or not he sees Memphis in the Pac-12’s future. A lot of words here.
@willgtg901 I will never say never. Memphis has a great AD who I think highly of. He will do what’s best for his team and fanbase. This stuff isn’t easy. I am a big fan of AAC commissioner as well. We will see what happens. I know everything happens for a reason! Our goal is to elevate!
Summer workouts begin tomorrow at Memphis
