Penny Hardaway was named head basketball coach at Memphis last week, and his hiring has potential to make a splash in college basketball recruiting.
In making his initial media rounds in his new role, it has become obvious that he also wants to make a splash in his scheduling.
In an interview with ESPN’s 929 in Memphis on Monday, Penny talked about who the Memphis Tigers had hoped to add to the schedule in the next few years.
In addition to adding the in-state rival Tennessee Volunteers, he hopes to work with John Calipari to set up a home and home series with the Kentucky Wildcats.
