"Baylor lost all 15 guys": Fans react as analysts pick Penny Hardaway's Memphis as biggest losers of the transfer portal

Penny Hardaway is tasked with overhauling the Memphis Tigers roster after mass departures to the transfer portal. Notable names like PJ Haggerty, Baraka Okojie and PJ Carter have all sought new opportunities elsewhere, while Tyrese Hunter, Moussa Cisse and Colby Rogers have exhausted their eligibility.

Following the closing of the transfer portal on Tuesday, the "Field of 68" podcast crew, Jeff Goodman and Rob Dauster, listed their top 10 biggest winners and losers of the offseason.

Both analysts agreed that the Tigers were among the programs hit hardest, occupying the top spot on the portal losers list. On Thursday, the Field of 68 Instagram account posted a graphic of the list, spurring a wave of reactions.

Here are a few of the reactions:

"Memphis is not a loser how do yall have a job," one fan wrote.

"Baylor lost all 15 guys. Why are they not the top spot," another added.

"Memphis signed 3 good players," a fan stated, referencing commits Aaron Bradshaw, Dug McDaniel and Sincere Parker.

"Memphis didn't pay a guy $4 million price tag and they're losers? Just grabbed a former 5 star, one of the best true point guards in the portal, and two other 4 star transfer," one comment read.

"Goodman is horrible with 95% of his takes," another fan added.

"Baylor ??" one more chimed in.

While Penny Hardaway and Memphis lost many players, they did bring in some talent via the portal. According to 247Sports, the Tigers have the No. 36-ranked transfer class in the nation. They were 11th in the country last year.
