Looking on the Tech board some say he was the second best player on their team but when his father passed way he never was the same. In my opinion coming home could help him.

On a side note a couple of Tech fans think we did something fishy to get him. They are just upset that they lost him imo.

Looking at his performance history, he had one of the best freshman years in Tortilla High history. Then, there were coaching changes which probably disrupted his development (there were some quotes that he did not want to play for Gillespie), then his father passed. He's definitely very very experienced and certainly used to the physical play in the Big12. Hopefully, he has a career defining senior year coming home and goes out with a huge bang. LB and Moody will make him feel like he should have come to SMU to begin with all along. Welcome home!

He listed SMU, TCU and UNT as his interested schools to go to to be close to his mother....he went to Ft Worth Christian. He is an academic scholar and wil be a NICE get for SMU. Any TT fans that say they are glad to see him go are full of sg^&.

Am sure that there were some Nova fans that were "Glad to see Kennedy go". See how that worked out?

EXACTLY....I am sorry for his family loss, but they ( his Mon and him) will fit in very nicely in the SMU family atmosphere and SMU will be tough with Marcus and him underneath next year.

Not sure if that was true but the conflict with Tolbert had more to do with internal issues with Gillespie not talent. On this one we don't have to trust in Larry Brown because a blind man can see that this kid can really play. This is not a DITR situation at all.

If Jordan Tolbert receives a waiver from the NCAA, SMU may have the biggest impact guard + big next year with he and Emmanual Mudiay.

Nic Moore's move to SG is in a way an addition. He'll be able to increase his 3pt attempts playing off Mudiay. With him and Keith, you've got 2 stud shooters.

I am well aware of that but we need one more with the last scholarship.

Does this mean we get to use this video for another year?
