I hope we get Thomas. How could we not? He will be a stud played for us.

To the op, suggest looking up what Ponzi scheme actually means.

Looks like there will be plenty of opportunity for early playing time in the front court with Caneen and Yanick graduating, MK possibly going pro, and Tolbert have a shot at becoming eligible this year. If the the last two dominoes fall, Ben Moore will be the only returning big.

i.e. he's tall and pudgy. he needs a Markus Makeover. Elijah has the frame to be a monster with some gym time. right now he's just the biggest guy on the court so he dominates. in college, he'll need to shed the fat and add some muscle.
Ok this is getting ridiculous...I agree with Dutch on THIS ONE POST by him totally

Does that mean we are not his favorite? Or just that he was considering not doing an official to SMU because we are local?

I've found that the last visit is usually the favorite.

Myles Turner waited till the end to visit Austin...and then signed with UT.


This is a gooooooood sign

A&M may have wanted to have him there when a HOME football game was going on to see the "aggie spirit". that's the only weekend they play a home game in October.

it probably behooves SMU to NOT have a home football game when a hoops recruit visits. plus, he's been in moody when it was rocking and heard his name cheered by the MOB and saw his face on the vidjaboard.

and i agree we're in a fine position.

Honestly surprised we even got an OV since he lives 10 minutes away. Very good sign.
