Memphis star PJ Haggerty entered the transfer portal Thursday. Haggerty was the league’s Player of the Year and a Second Team AP All-American.
Haggerty produced a career year, leading Memphis to 29 wins — the program’s most since 2012-13. The season culminated with AAC regular season and conference tournament championships. The Tigers earned a No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament but were bounced in the first round by No. 12 seed Colorado State.
Haggerty was nation’s third-leading scorer averaging 21.7 points per game and shot 36.4% from 3-point range. He also led the AAC in minutes played. He will be looking for his fourth school in four years after one-season stints at TCU and Tulsa.
Replacing both Haggerty will be a tall task for Hardaway and his staff, but they are already off to a fast start in the portal with four incoming additions led by South Carolina guard Zachary Davis and Western Kentucky’s Julius Thedford. Temple guard Quante Berry is also committed to the Tigers alongside Ashton Hardaway, Penny’s son, who began his career at Memphis before spending last season at Saint Mary’s.

Panthers 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: Surprise pick of Tetairoa McMillan will define this class
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers draft started with something of a surprise for fans and media members who thought general manager Dan Morgan should use the No. 8 pick on a defensive player to add to the team’s last-in-the-league defense from 2024.Instead, Morgan took Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan before bringing in a pair of SEC edge rushers in the second and the third rounds – part of a plan that was hatched when Morgan and his scouts looked at what receivers would be available on the second day and didn’t like what they saw.Advertisement“We felt like in that second round we weren’t gonna get a real quality receiver. So in terms of philosophy, drafting T-Mac, we knew there was going to be a lot of edge rushers in this draft and we’d be able to capitalize there in […]
Patriots 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: A clear plan, and lots of help for Drake Maye
For all of the concerns about the tough spot the New England Patriots were in, stuck with the No. 4 pick in a draft without a fourth blue-chip prospect, they sure yielded a heck of a haul.They spent their first four picks building around quarterback Drake Maye, first protecting his blind side with Will Campbell, then adding explosiveness on Day 2 to what was the league’s most boring offense over the last two years. On Day 3, they addressed their remaining needs with a couple of prospects graded much higher than where the Pats took them, some intriguing value for a draft class that felt close to a home run to kick off Mike Vrabel’s tenure.AdvertisementUnlike the drafts of previous years, this one seemed to have a sensible plan, and New England stuck to it. A couple of months after […]
Bryce Harper talks Kyle Tucker, Wrigley Field vibes and what could have been with the Cubs
CHICAGO — During a recent Thanksgiving break, Philadelphia Phillies superstar Bryce Harper bumped into Chicago Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer at a Nashville restaurant. Harper, who has a home in Tennessee, recognized the longtime Cubs executive while they both were out with their families. Inevitably, they began talking shop.Advertisement“We were just messing around a little bit,” Harper recalled, “a what-could-have-been kind of thing.”History, in a sense, could be repeating itself with Kyle Tucker, another left-handed hitter who checks all the boxes in terms of what the Cubs are looking for in a franchise player. It’s only April, but the fan frenzy and media speculation surrounding Tucker’s future are already beginning to approach the kind of fever pitch that once followed Harper.Imagine if the Cubs had signed Harper as a free agent when they had the chance. Perhaps the […]
Vikings continue to value culture in draft, praise Donovan Jackson’s selflessness
<!--> The Minnesota Vikings had Donovan Jackson on their radar last year when he was considering entering the 2024 NFL Draft, before he opted to return to Ohio State for his senior season.Their interest in the 6-foot-4, 315-pound left guard was further piqued during Jackson's contribution to the Buckeyes on their way to the national championship, and not just for his ability and performance.An injury at left tackle created a need for Jackson to slide over, but head coach Ryan Day left the decision up to him. Playing an unnatural position on the fly, after all, posed a risk of devaluing his draft stock. But Jackson embraced the switch, valuing the greater good over his individual professional development with a team-first attitude that solidified Minnesota's faith in him as a first-round pick.The Vikings took Jackson with the 24th overall selection […]

Falcons 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: Will Atlanta’s aggression pay off this time?
Terry Fontenot knows what other teams’ scouting reports say about him: the Atlanta Falcons general manager is going to be a willing partner for teams looking to trade down in the NFL Draft because he’s always itching to trade up.Fontenot trades up 75 percent of the time, according to Atlanta’s own charting of the tendencies of league executives, making him one of the most aggressive general managers in the NFL, and he stayed true to his nature in the 2025 draft.Advertisement“I know, I know,” Fontenot said. “We went to this draft, and they had a whole thing where they sat me down and, and said we need to trade back and pick up more picks.
