Derrick Rose In Memphis

By Michael O’Brien

A few more recruiting updates…

According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, Rose stuck around the Memphis campus on Saturday. He watched both Saturday practices, but did not talk with reporters.

Sources close to Rose insist that Memphis and Indiana are currently in the lead for the 6-3 guard’s services. DePaul is still in the picture, but right now, it’s a dead heat between Memphis and Indiana.
