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.
Boogie Ellis, D.J. Jeffries and Damion Baugh all have entered the transfer portal. That’s not great — but it doesn’t have to be the end of the world.
