Over the course of several years there have been college basketball programs that are a consistent force on the recruiting trail.
Duke and Kentucky have been the leaders but programs like North Carolina, Kansas, and others have also made themselves known with the top-tier prospects.
However, since Memphis and former head coach Tubby Smith parted ways and the program hired Penny Hardaway, the Tigers have been one of those other schools who are very well known and rising in the recruiting world.
But big and unexpected news hit the Memphis basketball team this week when assistant coach, and lead recruiter Mike Miller announced he would be leaving the program to focus on his family.
