Nike EYBL is back in Memphis this weekend. I spoke to @DreamBigHurd about the event as a whole and a marquee matchup between his @TeamThadNation and @Soldiers_Salute on Saturday. commercialappeal.com/story/sports/c…
Everything I know about the Jayden Quaintance-Memphis situation right now, #persource commercialappeal.com/story/sports/c…
RADIO SHOW | @mgiannotto returns to the studio, and we'll start by discussing everything that has happened at the University of Memphis this week. 2:40 Eric Hasseltine 3:05 The List 3:35 @JasonSmith929 LIVE: 92.9 FM/680 AM STREAM: audacy.com/stations/929es…
Ja Morant has a new agent. commercialappeal.com/story/sports/n…
If that’s the takeaway from reading the column, that’s a real shame. I think if you do read the column, the conversation I think the community should be having is much more nuanced than the typical culture war nonsense your station is using to be relevant commercialappeal.com/story/sports/c…

Jayden .... Quaintance. Feels like the buzz is multiplying by the second. Well, I spoke to his father today. About Memphis. commercialappeal.com/story/sports/c…
COLUMN: The next University of Memphis athletic director should be its first Black AD. commercialappeal.com/story/sports/c…
Story up on Jeff Crane being named interim athletic director at Memphis. University president Bill Hardgrave noted in a statement that Crane will be interim AD "as we explore our options in the coming weeks." commercialappeal.com/story/sports/c…
The Tennessee state legislature passed two bills today that will allow Memphis and Shelby County to re-allocate revenue from the hotel/motel tax and will help fund FedExForum renovations. Next, the Grizzlies need to make deals with Memphis and the county. commercialappeal.com/story/sports/n…
BREAKING: Memphis lands George Mason guard Baraka Okojie commercialappeal.com/story/sports/c…
BREAKING: Tyrese Hunter has committed to Memphis commercialappeal.com/story/sports/c…
Multiple sources have confirmed to me that Laird Veatch is leaving to become the athletic director at Missouri. commercialappeal.com/story/sports/c…
Both attorneys representing the teen suing Ja Morant have asked to be pulled off the case, citing a conflict of interest. It's not clear what the motion, if granted, would do to the case — but it may be in limbo as the teen would be without attorneys. commercialappeal.com/story/news/loc…
Lots of good post-spring Memphis football nuggets in here from Jonah.

David Jones may or may not come back to Memphis. If not, it won’t be because he can’t make NIL money. Clearing up the seemingly growing misconception re: international players and NIL. commercialappeal.com/story/sports/c…
I’m a sports columnist, but seems to me if the solution were simple, it would have happened already. Both sides can be right here. We need to be tougher on criminals who don’t respect the law and we need to better address the generational and systemic root causes of violent crime
This mass shooting in Orange Mound happened right across the train tracks from Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium and Memphis Sports and Events Center during a bustling Saturday at Liberty Park. Nike’s EYBL is coming next weekend, too. Senseless and outrageous. commercialappeal.com/story/news/loc…
COLUMN: Memphis football’s spring game was a celebration of all that’s gone right for the Tigers since last season ended and the most refreshing part is nobody’s shying away from the expectations and anticipation. commercialappeal.com/story/sports/c…
Memphis football's spring game gave us a glimpse at what to expect this season. Some quick takeaways, including Mario Anderson's performance, the backup QB competition.....and dodgeball. commercialappeal.com/story/sports/c…
Hello from the Memphis football spring game, where there's lots to be excited about -- including a new RB. On 1st touch, Mario Anderson (South Carolina) took a short pass and turned it into 43-yard gain. Scored first TD of the day a few plays later.

I'm still sticking around the DMN, which I've been fortunate to be at for 14+ years. But I'll be stepping into a new role next week as the newsroom's first Senior Editor for Newsroom Metrics & Planning.
This is incredible. So well done by the Commanders. New ownership has repaired so many relationships with former players. Add DG to the list.
I’m extremely blessed and thankful to receive these tremendous honors at the @MemphisJRSM Awards tonight. Huge shoutout to the faculty, staff and judges who considered me and my work. Thanks to all of you for following along as well. Here’s to 2024-25 being even better!
It’s wedding time in Tennessee. I’ll be off for the next week-plus for the best of reasons. Could not be more thankful to be marrying this wonderful woman. Emily is a picture of the Lord’s kindness toward me.
@mgiannotto Good to know. I typically can’t read them so I don’t click.
On the occassion of my 15th anniversary on Twitter, my simple request is that those who comment on my columns actually read them first. Does that seem a lot to ask? sportingnews.com/us/basketball/…
I'm just gonna say it: courtroom sketches are played out. Take some got-damn pictures and quit posting cartoon art. I've seen better sketch artists at carnivals.
Some personal news ... I am now the USA TODAY Network South Region sports director after the well-deserved promotion of @ByChrisThomas. We have a great team of 40 sports journalists spread across four states. They make me look good every day. Saving the -30- for now.
The level of access Dawn Staley gives local media is not common for any coach at any level, nor is the amount of local coverage that the women's basketball team gets. I talked to Staley and local reporters to learn more. "The local media, they know." frontofficesports.com/dawn-staley-so…
Chris Thomas (@ByChrisThomas) recently was named to a new role as Executive Editor/Sports for the USA TODAY Network. Chris most recently was USA TODAY South Region sports director and sports editor of The Tennessean in Nashville.
Love that he’s connecting with the community, but also imagine getting high on 4/20 with your boys and then all of a sudden Dusty May and a camera crew stop by your house. I’d prolly have a panic attack lol.
Dusty May: Man of the People
@mgiannotto @kevinsmithpxp Players that started the next year were also granted extra year. My daughter had 5 years of eligibility and was a freshman the 20-21 season.
@mgiannotto NCAA granted the 2020-21 season the Covid year
@mgiannotto His first year at Memphis was technically the Covid year. That year didn’t count towards anyone’s eligibility.
@mgiannotto @kevinsmithpxp Pretty sure the first comment is correct. There was a Tournament in 20-21 but that was also the year that had all the cancelled games and no crowds.
@mgiannotto @kevinsmithpxp Yeah the 2020-21 season was basically a free year for everyone
@mgiannotto 100 percent sure it's 20-21. It was granted because of the crowd less games and canceled games. NCAA didn't grant it for 19-20 because they played the entire regular season.
Chris Finch on Mike Conley: "He's been great this week, kinda set the tone early with some remarks our first day this week when we came back together, just reminding the guys what's at stake, what it takes, how many times he's been through it, what not to take for granted. We're…
Excited for this next chapter. I am grateful for @CoachRedAutry and Syracuse University for this opportunity. I am thrilled to be a part of this staff and team and work towards the vision they have for this program. Let’s get it. Go ‘Cuse!
