Memphis coach Josh Pastner continues to press on with recruiting despite the program’s recent troubles.
Memphis signed Martin Ngaloro, a 6-foot-8 small forward from France, prior to the May 20 late signing deadline.
“I think Martin will be a solid player,” Pastner said Wednesday by phone. “He’s a good athlete, a good prospect.
“He has a good skill set. He can shoot the basketball. He needs to get physically stronger and tougher in some areas, but he’s a good prospect.”
Said Ngaloro: “I need to really get better and I think it’s the right place. Keep working on my skills and everything. I think it’s the right place.”
Ngaloro said Virginia Tech had also been in contact with him, but he never visited.
“I’d like to come here [to Memphis],” Ngaloro, 20, said Monday. “I already signed the papers, so it should be OK. I think that it’s the right place to be.”
Ngaloro joins a Memphis recruiting class that includes Will Coleman and Latavious Williams.
Pastner said the team is still looking for additional players. Lance Stephenson, who has yet to commit to a college, could still be in play for the Tigers.
“If we have an opportunity to sign a few more we will, but they’ve got to be good enough,” Pastner said.
Name calling is the gold standard for adults. It is able to put one’s maturity level into great perspective.
If you would have stuck to the golden standard arguement, then you would have a great point, but hey! We can’t go around just providing facts! We have to call people names too. It’s a much better idea!
Ya, sgreene25 and Big Ben, you all are just plain JeNIouSes! You all carve everybody up with you infinite wisdom and maturity! Great Job!

I assume you nit picked in haste or with emotion of an arguement. But since I don’t assume, I won’t assume which.
(not being mean in this comment)
I honestly believe that the main criteria for a recruiting class should be solely based on its cummulative talent. If this incoming class actually helps win the championship for Kentucky, then IMO it should be considered the best or at least in serious** conversation with the other classes. This is also assuming that the incoming players contribute the most** minutes ( more than half) versus the current players getting the < 50% playing time.
Ya, that whole one player named G.J. Vilarino……. A HUGE fallout.
Both are some great numbers with some serious clicking to boot! You all must have spent your entire day looking at them all to back up your claims! I trust you both very much so!
bball purist brings the facts to the table! (just heard a loud thud of facts hit the fan!) No rumor mill for Mr. Be Pure. he brings the sources and everything! Awesome. And once again lets not look at THE MULTIPLE SCHOOLS like Henderson’s Findlay Prep (NV). Nothing strange there…. It was at Laurinberg Prep and ONLY Laurinberg Prep
(Comments are right at the two sweet spots of pain)
Yup, none of us have a life! He must be deflecting it because he can’t do the things normal people do like….. live……… Oh wait! He has to sit at his computer all day so he can respond to you. Oh wait! he’s also a robot and COULDN’T have over looked it. It’s not like there are a lot of comments or anything……
(Comments have hit the fan!)
HE’S GOT A CHALUPA!!! RUN!!! (Weapons of gas destruction)
(Comments by me are never facetious)
> 50% playing time**** ——– once again I’m just a smidgen ocd……
Ya, Kentucky Fans really believe that 50 NC’s are possible because if JC can’t coach and be 100 while doing so and win one every year….. he just isn’t worth having. jhawk4 you and your non-embelished truth………. You’re definately accurate about thinking pasta thinking that such a feat. is accomplishable. You don’t stereotype people either.
(Comments are sometimes below the belt)
The same as how Sean Miller did? Oh wait, he doesn’t coach at a school named Kentucky, we can’t bash him! Let’s focus more on how Kentucky is a dirty program and how every other program and coach is PERFECTLY CLEAN!
(Comments wont nest below the denial level)
Ya, the out clause wasn’t put there for people like Xavier who really wanted to play for Kansas at all…………………. It was ONLY to bring Xavier to Kentucky…… because TRUTH TELLS US that Calipari knew the hire was coming from Kentucky when he signed Xavier back in the FALL. What a great and logical comment you have spouted Dr……….
I suppose Blasphemy feels significantly more refined and proper then the rest of us, with his condescending marks and hidden sarcasm.
I see pastaboy was able to have a buddy of his sign up………….welcome
thanks for gracing us blasphemy with your well formed lorgic, and clear reasoning abilities
blasphemy is trying to mask his comments with what he thinks are witty rhetorical questions. Oh your way more sophisticated then us with your high brow, “above insults” snide remarks
What are you talking about!? I’m not snide or sarcastic in the least bit. I’m glad you made very non-obvious comments! Now Every knows since you’ve clarified! Thanks again.
Yup my sarcasm is ultra hidden! Man, you’re great at finding it though…..
Any time =p
(not a facecious comment)
I’m a Kentucky Fan, not a Pastaboy fan.
Now (per ESPN) Robert Dozier’s SAT score is in question and it appears somebody took the test for him. I see a pattern of abuse with players signed under Calipari . The NCAA needs to scrutinize every recruit Calipari signs at Kentucky and stop the cheating.
No the group knows, I am just making sure you know that we know. Do you also know your droll comments come up short of being clever?
