UTSA Athletics officially announces the five new class of 2012 basketball signees
Thompson announces spring signing class on Wednesday:

http://www.goutsa.com/ViewArticle.dbml?D...=205430163

"UTSA head men’s basketball coach Brooks Thompson announced Wednesday that he has signed George Matthews (Phoenix, Ariz./St. Mary’s HS/Westwind Prep/Utah) to a grant-in-aid and Triton “Tank” Mayberry (Corpus Christi, Texas/John Paul II HS/Navarro College), Edrico McGregor (Nassau, Bahamas/Sweeting HS/North Idaho College) and Hyjii Thomas (Houston, Texas/Washington HS/Navarro College) to National Letters of Intent.The foursome and Fall 2011 signee Lucas O’Brien (Chandler, Ariz./Perry HS) will join the Roadrunners for the 2012-13 season."

If Nash does end up transferring to UTSA this fall, that could be icing on the cake 02-13-banana

DM made a blog entry today about the new signees and mentions Johnson's departure:

http://blog.mysanantonio.com/utsa/2012/0...tsa-hoops/

"Johnson, on the other hand, was said to be stunned when head coach Brooks Thompson told him he wouldn’t be brought back for his senior year. It’s a huge gamble by the Roadrunners, but one they apparently felt was necessary to establish more cohesion in the locker room, especially with so many new faces coming in.

“It was best for Melvin and best for our program. He’s a great kid,” said Thompson, who declined further comment."

In the bottom, he also makes mention of prospective transfer Nash:

"UTSA is apparently in pursuit of another transfer — former South Florida point guard Blake Nash, who lit it up at Williston State (N.D.) College but averaged only 3.4 points on 38-percent shooting in his lone season with the Bulls. The Roadrunners would have to jettison another scholarship player to make room for his signing."

"It's what's best for Melvin..."

Man, did I miss something? Was he a locker room problem?

What were you trying to say? And yes, he was a locker room problem. I even saw it at the basketball tournament.

Solid recruiting class. I'm very impressed with the direction our basketball program is headed. No doubt we will be competitive day 1.
