    Good to see UT add a PG to the roster, could definitely use his services right now.

    I remember seeing this kid play b-ball at Westside Tennis Club many years ago, and he was about 3 feet tall.

    I'm not at all surprised he ended up at UT. UK put their hat in the ring on his second recruiting trail, but once I heard UT was an option I figured he would go there.

    not sure how good he is. hes a good ball handler and has a nice touch, but hes a combo guard. i think he thinks hes a little better than he really is.

    We're going to have some pretty impressive perimeter play next year.

    We lose Abrams, but get another year of development from Balbay, Mason, and Ward, and add a 5* combo guard, a 5* wing, a 4* wing, and a McD's All-American transfer at the point.

    I'm assuming Damion James will be gone which may make us a bit then up front. I could see us going to 3 guards a bit more often and using Hamilton/Williams at the 4. Johnson and Pittman should be really solid, but we need Chapman/Hill to step up and hopefully Wangmene will come back strong.

    I think we can go deep in the tournament this year and set up a big year next year.
