It's news to me.
I knew UT was looking at him, but I did not know that he was listed in the directory till today.
My wind is broken.
On paper we're still in the cellar. Good pickup though. We needed a big man that weighs over 200 lbs
If he can become eligible and stays out of trouble this could be HUGE for us. You take McKnight as a risk, so you would have to do the same with someone twice as good as him plus has a few years left of eligibility.
Gives you some optimism going into next year as well. Maybe even get a chance to RS Owens now.
Miller
Mostella
Hubbs
Moore
Dom
Would be a great starting lineup next year. Plus you have a chance at two five stars in Bacon and Skal. Wow I'm pumped!
Not to bring up the old staff but I remember the same posts about Lyle, Lindsey and Looney and we didn't land 1 of them. It's not as if we are the favorite for either of Skal or Bacon, have a lot of ground to make up.
I also see no way that Owens redshirts, just think there's still too many post questions for him to redshirt, first guy to be a possibility would be McGhee IMO.
I know UT needs post players, but why would they consider taking a kid with this much baggage at Memphis?
What's your definition of "the cellar"? With the addition of Woodson you're talking about 3 top 75 players, that would likely stack up around middle of the SEC. Add in the Richardson is a likely 2nd team all-sec guy and I wouldn't say "cellar".
I tried to tell people when Tyndall gave his opening speech that it was coach speak, he's very similar to Pearl. He's gonna take a lot of chances on guys, and you're likely gonna have more "incidents" than recent years. Baulkman, McKnight and Woodson all had some issues at previous schools, McKnight's were so bad the SEC wouldn't even allow him into their league.
