In other news from the University of Memphis, basketball coach Penny Hardaway has recently signed 12 players for the 2025-26 season, leaving the possibility open to sign up to three additional players. The coach noted that while there are 15 scholarships available, it is unlikely that all will be utilized, with an anticipated total of around 13 players on the final roster.
There are existing concerns regarding depth in the frontcourt, as currently, only one player, Aaron Bradshaw, who stands at 7-foot-1, is part of the team for summer workouts and is taller than 6-8. In an effort to strengthen this area, South Dakota State transfer William Whorton has been added as a traditional post player. Additionally, newcomers Hasan Abdul-Hakim and Ashton Hardaway are both 6-8 tall, while 6-7 guard Zachary Davis adds further length to the team’s roster.
The Memphis basketball program is also keeping an eye on first-team all-AAC center Dain Dainja, who is seeking an extra season of eligibility. The NCAA has yet to make a final ruling on his waiver request, but the compliance department at Memphis is actively working on the matter.
Despite concerns about roster depth, Coach Hardaway has expressed confidence in the skill set of the current team. He particularly noted the players’ ability to both shoot effectively and finish at the basket, which will be crucial for the upcoming season. The backcourt has seen an influx of talent, having signed seven guards, among them several Division I transfers and incoming freshman Daniel Vieira-Tuck.
During recent summer workouts, Coach Hardaway highlighted the commendable performance of guard Sincere Parker, who has drawn attention for his scoring prowess and strong work ethic.
Alemany’s scholarly accomplishments align with the broader academic and athletic mission of the University of Memphis, illustrating the university’s commitment to fostering both athletic talent and educational achievement.
