Hitmen Hoops joined the J&J Show on 92.9 FM ESPN on Friday (5/1) to break down a major potential addition for Memphis Tigers men's basketball, diving into what Tylik Weeks can bring to Penny Hardaway’s roster. The discussion centered on Weeks as a high-impact transfer target, a 6-foot-7 forward who can score at a high level and fill a key need on the wing. FULL AUDIO:
During the interview, the Hitmen crew highlighted Weeks’ production at Southern Miss Golden Eagles men's basketball, where he averaged nearly 20 points per game while adding rebounding and versatility.

Weeks chose Memphis over Ole Miss.
