Memphis Head Coach Mike Norvell introduced his first class today.
He stood up and called it a home run. After looking at the 2016 recruiting class and realizing his staff only had weeks to prepare, you'll see he didn't hit a home run. He smacked a first pitch, first class grand slam.
How many Tiger fans were worried after Coach Fuente bolted for Virginia Tech?
Are you worried now?
Coach Norvell and staff signed 9 3* recruits. That's more than the last 2 year's combined.
This class fills every need the Tigers had.
There's 3 safety's in this class. Jonathan Cook played at Alabama before transferring to Garden City CC. Thomas Pickens is a local standout with range. Tyrez Lindsey was courted by a Big 10 team but chose Memphis instead.
Cornerback was another need. All Norvell did was sign 3* Josh Perry who had been committed to Alabama.
3* Linebacker Tim Hart was once committed to Tennessee. Signing Hart will pay dividends on and off the field. Hart symbolizes to the top local talent that you don't have to leave the city. Memphis is a place where you can play for conference championships.
Defensive End Jacoby Hill chose Memphis over South Carolina.
With the departure of Paxton Lynch there was a need for a quarterback.
JUCO Riley Ferguson and 2* David Moore were signed to compete with Brady Davis for the starting job.
Throughout this class you see not only talent, but talent that can contribute right away.
This class is truly First Class.
