Hey I'm on the Can the Clown train too. I just think it won't hurt to have another guard with legit D1 experience and scoring ability.

Who knows? Maybe we'll have one of the best backcourts in America. It's been a couple of years since that's happened.

This should be good news as long as he can recover from the injury.

I think this is fantastic....I didn't see him much at Alabama but always thought he was solid at Tulane.

BEFORE ALABAMA

Played his freshman and sophomore seasons at Tulane University ... named second team All-Conference USA and second team All-District 11 by the NABC in 2013 ... 34th player in school history to reach 1,000 career points (1,013) ... had 51 double-figure scoring games in his career (20 with 20-plus points) ... scored 30-plus points in three games ... his 550 points as a sophomore were the ninth-most in Tulane history ... poured in a season-high 30 points with six three-pointers in win at Rice ... scored 28 points in win over Hofstra, with five 3-pointers, a career-high eight rebounds and five steals ... had 19 points and a career-high nine assists in win over Marshall

Big get! Its starting to look like he should have enough talent this year to be good again. I hope so.

Can this Dude ball?

We will? I don't know that this guy really helps us that much at PG. He looks like an inefficient gunner to me (5 three point shots a game when he shot under .300? Really?) when what we need is someone that can run an offense.

We'll see.

Amazing, really

I was hoping for an AG/RT package......still hoping....if AG teams up with #ThePaz this year, I'm going #ALL*IN on a terrific tourney year ,past S16....to E8 even F4

Ricky, welcome to Tiger Nation!

Stay away from here. Vipers lurk and enjoy striking with vigor and venom.

My weekend car is a new Viper.

Congrats to Ricky!

I'd take a bunch of 3 stars who are coachable and want to win over some prima donna 5 stars who think winning just happens.

I 2nd that emotion

I'm sure that's part of player orientation.
