Highlights

His family history with Memphis’ program is interesting. The dad was on staff at Memphis under Josh Pastner. When Tubby Smith took over, he moved the dad from an assistant to off the bench/operations. Then the dad was let go. Two of the older brothers were on the Memphis team and then transferred to Kansas when the situation with their dad occurred, the other brother then chose Oregon. Last year one of the Lawsons graduate transferred to Tulane. So I’d say Tulane, KU, Oregon are probably in a good spot if they make a push based off previous events.

He seems to have a facilitation with Penny Hardaway

Penny is an absolute legend in Memphis. He will get 95% of the Memphis kids he wants. He’s an idol there. Plus Mike Miller is a phenomenal recruiter.

Not as well as Kansas or Phil Knight U (Oregon).

Lawson might be the first piece of evidence of that shift in philosophy. But he’s a terrific player. I don’t believe Memphis would be able to find a more productive player than Lawson in the Class of 2021. I suspect he will wind up committing to Memphis sooner rather than later.
