Not too shabby

Not too shabby at all. In fact, me like this dude's skill set. Is he ours or did he just get an offer from us? Thanks for sharing.

He posted on social media that he had received an offer from Memphis. JUCO guard with three years of D1 eligibility. Shot 36% from three point range. Offers from Texas Tech, Pittsburgh, and others.

I've seen him listed as a 2 star at one site, he's not rated currently on 24/7. Tried to find info on him last year out of high school but couldn't, maybe somebody else can

24/7 does not show him in the top 59 2017 JUCO list: Click Here

I could not find him on ESPN's database.

The impact of the loss of Darrington to UT-K is now manifested.

The grad transfer market must be too difficult for our staff to yield results.

His JUCO stats:

Games Played: 32 (started 27)
Points Per game: 14.0 (lead team)
FG Pct: .438
3FG Pct: .358. (3rd on team)
FT Pct: .820. (2nd on team when consider # of shots)
Rebounds Per game: 4.4 (5th on team)
Assists Per game: 0.8
Turnovers Per game: 1.4
Steals Per game: 1.2
Blocks Per game: 0.2
Min Per game: 22.4 (3rd on team)

He is a 6-5, 225 lb G/F

You sure like to assume empty facts

Complete nonsense.

LOVE how he pins the defender in the post.....then goes up STRONG!!!!
Foul Shot percentage is a BONUS

Strong.
Hope he becomes a tiger.

Maybe it's just me but Tubby appears to want to fill this class with hard nosed, blue-collar, worker types that fly a bit under the radar with a lot to prove. Brewton, Jamal Johnson and Nickelberry probably have a bit more flash in their game, but the rest of the guys fit that mold, in my opinion. It will be interesting to see who becomes the star on this upcoming team.

I got Brewton complimenting Jeremiah Martin. I got Johnson coming on for us as the year progresses like Cincy's freshman guard did last season. If Johnson can up his weight at a decent amount before the season, he will be on the fast track

To me it looks like Tubby is bringing in Big guards and Mobile Bigs...Makes playing defense much easier when you can switch screens and not be stuck with a terrible matchup.

Now will he be able to get these guys to score points is another question.

Yeah I think our big question mark with these new guys if they can score enough. They definitely have unique physical attributes for the pressing style he wants to play.

If they can get Simms. They might use Brewton or Johnson at the PG to rotate with Martin.

Would love to see this guy on the roster

We are in desperate need of outside shooting and he is a good three point shooter - although only the 3rd best on his 17-15 team.

Sure the hell hope the Memphis version of Tubby knows what he's doing.

Meh...the 3rd best shooting stat is pointless. Of the other 2, one has taken 1/3rd the number of 3 point shots that Mike'l has. The other 2 don't have any D1 offers while Mike'l has offers from Texas Tech, NC State, Pittsburgh and other G5 schools.

Let's hope he decides to come here.

He was the top scorer on his team. We need guys who produce points right?

Plus he can play D
