there's our other transfer. The one who, as PonyDoh said, is waiting on his release so that he can be on scholarship in the fall.

Good pick-up for the program. He's a local that is well respected in the hoops community. Hopefully he can persuade some other locals to sign up and play with him. This kid has been penciled in since like April, which is why the McCoy loss didn't really hold that much sting

really liked this kid as a shooter in high school. like his demeanor alot too. not sure where his game is now, he hasn't gotten off the bench much his first two years in the WAC but maybe he is ready to roll. Problem is he has to sit out next year right?

I'm really hoping he gets his release. How crappy would it be if they remain hard-headed, and he enrolls in the fall, using financial aid. Tens of thousands in unnecessary debt just because his current school won't do the right thing

Still may be some underpinnings of bad blood because of the Bowl game fiasco at Nevada and don't forget Ben from Cali was a Nevada prospect until the Bowl game....maybe too many reminders of SMU...

Sadly, that is the dirty side of NCAA athletics. Hopefully this situation will be resolved in the best interest of the kid.

I must say that it would be nice to restore the Kimball pipeline. Sasser, Ross...

He was the #14 rated player in the state by Texas Hoops in 2008. Has seen VERY limited action at Nevada though. I assume he will for sure have to sit out this season.

The PG ahead of him for both his Freshman and sophomore years at Nevada, 6'3 Armon Johnson went pro this year (picked number 34 by Portland Trailblazers)......he would have played this coming year at PG, unless Nevada picked up a 2010 high recruit that could have displaced him.
