I know his name has been mentioned here in the past due to his connection, but I wonder if Jordan Gainey (asst. coach Justin Gainey's son) considers a transfer to Tennessee next season?
He's a freshman starter at USC-Upstate, who coincidentally, we played earlier this season. He started the year a little slow, averaging a shade under 10 ppg and then laying an egg at Tennessee in a game where I'm certain he felt a lot of pressure playing against his dad's team.
Since that game, he's averaging 17.3 ppg and is shooting 51.2% from 3 (43/84) for the entire season. Also an 83% FT shooter. He has good size at 6-4, but is a little thin at 175 lbs.
Seems like a great option as the kind of player we could use, and I'm assuming he would likely be eligible to walk on and not count towards scholarship limits because of his dad's position.
