Penny Hardaway secured his first commitment for the 2023 Class in 3-star guard Ryan Forrest. Ryan is a senior at the newly established Link Academy based out of Branson, Missouri. Ryan originally played for Marion High School in Marion, Arkansas, but made the move to the elite academy during the summer of 2022.

Ryan is a 6'3 shooting guard that plays a physical, aggressive and bouncy game.

Ryan shares with GT247 about his decision to move to Link Academy and how playing with a roster of extremely talented players has already helped him develop his work ethic and game to a different level. Ryan grew up in the Memphis area and has been a fan of the Memphis Tigers for years. He describes the day he received an offer from Penny after an unofficial visit and how excited he was to potentially wear the Tiger uniform in college. He tells GT247 that he didn't allow himself to gloat in receiving the offer, but he was reinvigorated to continue to work hard and get himself ready to play college ball.

Ryan describes himself as a tough, athletic guard who loves to attack the paint and defend hard. His mentality towards defense is that he takes pride in shutting other players down and frustrating them. He sees the Memphis style of play as a style that fits his game totally. The speed and space the Tigers employ on the offense end, plus the aggressive team defense is what sold him on accepting the offer to play for Penny Hardaway and the Tigers.
