Coming off an injury. May be why he's still out there.This is the best available grad transfer.....
4) Shakur Juiston, 6-7, 220, PF, UNLV
Stats: 10.8 ppg, 8.8 rpg
Scout’s take: “He’s a banger, a phenomenal rebounder. Quick twitch. He can finish around the rim and step out to mid-range.”
I’m absolutely not discounting that being the case. But it’s certainly possible Lewis is trying to save face for the staff. What took Burns so long to enter the portal then?
That’s on him, nobody else.
Well we thought Burns was in the dog house but now we know he was.
Why didnt we take Bilau then?
Knowing this Juiston seems like someone we should have been in contact with a month ago.
Now I know why Reverend Rick was in such a hurry to get out of town.
So as of now it's Fulkerson,ORN,Kent,and hope to God Plavsic is eligible.
Sad that kids get an opportunity to play college ball at a Division l school and throw it all away because they can’t stay out of trouble.
I'll go with that, when he did get on the court it was obvious he was not putting in the work. Hell the others players had to put him in the right position. It's not a big loss as he was probably never going to contribute.I'm not sure, but perhaps it was his desire to stay until he was basically dismissed (unofficially). Maybe he was just a kid who was just happy to be here and on the team enjoying all the social perks of that, and didn't want to put in the work to get better. Transferring meant having to convince another staff that he had that desire when he really didn't. Some kids just decide when they realize how hard big time college athletics really is, that they just don't want to do it any longer, but they still enjoy the game and free education.
All speculation on my part.
Does that make up for 20 years of shoveling horse manure? A blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.Interesting, didn't people call Basilio full of sh!t for eluding to Burns being out the last few weeks
I'm going to get blasted for this but -
Do other coaches who make 5 million struggle this bad during the off season? You would think things would be a little smoother.
And yes, I have every right to bring up his salary. I've been a UT fan before RB and I'll be one after he is gone.
We need him just as much at the three. We only have Johnson, Pons, and Gaines (164lb) as our eligible wings and guards. At least in the post we currently have 4 guys eligible for two spots.If he wasn’t already Pons is huge at the 4 now. I think we see him play there a lot and if he can succeed we become as much better team. I think he can
