When most 17-year olds can't even decide what they'll be wearing the next day, Nolan Dennis decided he wanted to wear Tiger blue for next year. The 6'5" swingman announced last week his commitment to head coach John Calipari and The University of Memphis, becoming the first player of Calipari's 2009 recruiting class.
