New Memphis AD Ed Scott says he’d ‘love to get in’ the ACC

Drew Hill and Chris Herrington discuss the Memphis Grizzlies draft picks and answer questions from listeners. 

Ed Scott, who was introduced as Memphis’ new AD in a press conference Friday, spoke about the Tigers’ place in conference realignment, how the university could fare in a future revenue-sharing model in college sports, and more.

While the draft is just wrapping up, the second half of the offseason won’t wait. What could be next for the Grizzlies?

Jones, a 6-foot-4 wing, led Memphis with 21.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game while shooting 38% from 3-point range last season.

The Memphis Grizzlies needed shooters, so they doubled down in the second round of the NBA Draft on Thursday, June 27. 

As the U of M waits for its new athletic director’s first day on the job, the rest of the Tigers athletic department traverses a path of unknowns throughout a summer of uncertainty.

Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman admitted that Edey was a bit of a polarizing player to some.

Zach Kleiman called Edey a “particularly special fit” for Memphis, giving them an eager and competitive big man that fits well alongside the pieces that they already have. 

The Memphis player hit two home runs Wednesday night in the Redbirds’ victory over the Gwinnett Stripers.

Ed Scott is the new AD at the University of Memphis. All he has to do is direct the largest construction project in program history, raise millions in cash, get Tiger hoops on track and lift the university into the Power 5.
