Ex Arizona freshman five star recruit to SMU?

[ojaipony]

I say definitely take him - maybe he's drinking because he's playing for Arizona. I would be.

Also, I heard from an informed source (I think) that we signed/are signing a top JUCO player who had an offer from UConn out of HS. Anybody know anything about this?

Some great video on him from last summer:

Wow. What SMU is quickly becoming...

It's hard to know because we haven't signed him yet? And he may go elsewhwere?

lol, the guy is great, but you guys are crazy if you think this is a 2nd chance. Try 15th. He's more than a malcontent, thus far n his life he's just an awful human being.

Got a DWI just this past weekend

awful human being? Ive meet the kid and hes not an awful human being. i got pulled over in tucson for a suspicion of dui stone cold sober, didnt get arrested but still. Basketball speaking he's super quick and could take us to the tournament he's that good.

Reminds me of a larger Stephon Marbury. If the kid wants to realize his dream of playing in the NBA, no better place to get his act together than with his incredible coaching staff.

If George Lynch can't shape him up, nobody can.

I'd like to be in the meeting between Brown, RGT and JT...which will undoubtedly happen. I'm sure we'd learn some interesting things...

[CoxBizGrad]

Smooth. Put him on a short lease. See how he does during his year off and bring him on as we enter the BEAST. The new sherrif (LB) is in town and he has a new way of doing things including a focus on winning. What a concept.

I understand he is not enrolled at SMU yet amd may never be, but I get bad vibes from this story like nothing else I've seen thus far about the coming of Coach Brown.

[SoCal_Pony]

as Hoopmanx alluded to countless times, these are the types of steps universities take that want to be competitive in college BB.

They are coming here to get an education in BB and that’s about it.

I say bring the kid in and hope that Brown can be a positive influence on him.

Finally, Top 20 in something we do

Come on KA's, move off campus. Your house has a higher calling...

I've met the kid many times, and know tons of stories. I could care less about the DWI, that's small stuff

Agreed. Same for Crandall Head who reportedly never saw a class he could attend lol...
