Puerto Rican forward Angel Garcia has given a verbal commitment to play basketball at the University of Memphis, sources with knowledge of the situation have told The Commercial Appeal.

Garcia was considered one of the Tigers’ top targets, especially after the 6-foot-11 inch forward put on an awesome display of athleticism and skill at coach John Calipari’s elite summer camp in June.

Garcia, ranked No. 27 overall in the class of 2008 by Rivals.com, chose Memphis over Indiana. Garcia moved to the U.S. last season and played at East Chicago (Ind.) Central High. He played this summer for the Puerto Rican National Team at the under-19 championships in Serbia, where Memphis assistant coach Chuck Martin traveled to watch him play.

Once Garcia signs a national letter of intent, he’ll join twin forwards Marcus and Markieff Morris in the class of 2008, seemingly giving the Tigers a solid front line for the next few years. Memphis is still hoping to get a commitment from an elite guard, the No. 1 target being St. George’s Elliot Williams.

I guess that settles that.

Army has football tradition. That won't win it a championship. The ability to adapt and connect with today's talent does win titles. Memphis is competitive in that angle. Memphis' present is an improvement over its past, and its future is promising. It's easy to overlook them b/c of its conference. But don't be foolish. The past doesn’t win titles.
