Memphis has officially announced the addition of a pair of guards for the 2025-26 season.
Overtime Elite guard Daniel Vieira-Tuck and JUCO guard Felipe Patino will play for the Tigers next season, the team announced on Friday.
Patino is a 6-foot-4 guard out of Eastern Florida State College. He averaged 9.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in his last season with the team while shooting an outstanding 47.6% from 3.
The Canadian guard will join Viera-Tuck as the only two members of Memphis’ 2025 recruiting class.
Vieira-Tuck is a 6-foot-4 guard out of Overtime Elite. In just 9.5 minutes per game with the Diamond Doves, the Portuguese guard averaged 2.2 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.
He also has experience playing overseas for Portugal at the 2023 FIBA U20 European Championship, averaging 14.5 points, 4.3 steals and 2.5 rebounds per game.
The two guards are expected to provide size, versatility, and shooting at the guard positions for head coach Penny Hardaway and the Tigers next season.
