Geoff Calkins has been chronicling Memphis and Memphis sports for more than two decades. He is host of "The Geoff Calkins Show" from 9-11 a.m. M-F on 92.9 FM. Calkins has been named the best sports columnist in the country five times by the Associated Press sports editors, but still figures his best columns are about the people who make Memphis what it is.
Five-star center Moussa Cisse has committed to Memphis. It's a huge win for Penny Hardaway — and a reason to believe that next season (if there is one) could be what last season was supposed to be.
