Could both James Wiseman and UK commit DJ Jeffries join Hardaway in Memphis? One Yahoo! Sports writer seems to think so.

Yesterday afternoon, NBA legend Penny Hardaway was officially introduced as the head basketball coach at Memphis, replacing former Kentucky coach Tubby Smith. He is reportedly putting together an all-star supporting cast to rake in top recruits, with legendary coach Larry Brown, Virginia Tech associate head coach Steve Roccaforte, and Kentucky’s own Tony Barbee listed as top candidates to join Hardaway’s staff.

The Memphis basketball program needed an immediate facelift, and Hardaway is planning on hitting the ground running on the recruiting trail to make that happen.

Late last night, Yahoo! Sports posted an article about one Wichita State signee already being let out of his letter of intent to become Hardaway’s first official commitment as head coach.
