His eligibility would be such a mess if he did that.

For someone who follow hoops the way you do, your reasoning escapes me w/consistency. LB realizes '15 recruiting isn't going the way they wanted, and they have a bird in hand. This is so calculated and predictable its scary. We return or add Nic, Sterling, Frazier, Moore, Tolbert, Emegolu, Barefield, Kennedy. That's not as good as last years team or this years team, much less a title contender. This is an effort not to be average after being good for two years, not a move to win a natty. If you're including kids like Elijah, do yourself and ask around about that kid. The biggest local heads will tell you he's an unabashed headcase that believes his hype. That fatty thinks he's one and done.

But is he good enough to have other options? Europe? I really do not know.

Personally, no. That said, I'll always defer to LB and crew. I've just heard he's one of the biggest head cases in DFW in years. That said, if you polled people, they'd have Frazier on that list as well. There are lower ranked kids on the board who have far more drive, and only a slightly lessor skillset

Pray for health. Being able to throw out 2 legit big men that are fresh for 40 minutes will be a pleasure to watch.

That concern is the main reason I am happy about this news about Tolbert.

It would suck to lose MK, but if he were to jump it would hopefully mean that he balled out of control.
