Penny Hardaway’s new Memphis roster is a complete overhaul
October 27, 2025
Memphis coach Penny Hardaway has a roster for his seventh season at his alma mater that seems to test what is possible in the current landscape of college athletics. Each of his 15 Tigers is brand-new to Memphis as part of a complete overhaul after earning an NCAA Tournament berth last March. Hardaway tapped the transfer portal and NIL opportunities heavily to build this team. The turnover not only presents a chemistry-building challenge. Hardaway says it’s very difficult and the main gripe from fans that they don’t know any of the players.
