Quote:@scottybscout: Former Alton Marquette standout & #SIU freshman Deion Lavender @Deion5Lavender has transferred to #UAB
He's on his visit right now, too.
A coaches son. Always good.
I assume by playing as Freshman & then transfer rules, he'd sit out a year & have 3yrs left
From a stats only perspective he played pretty well for a freshman in his last 10 games:
33 minutes avg
11.2 PPG
47% FG overall
34.1% from 3
91% FT
3 reb
1 steal
1.8 TO
He's one of 5 players to leave SIU after this past season.
Well, he knows his way around the MVC by now...
Yeah I'm surprised SIU didn't block him from transferring in conference
He seems like a good player. Maybe he will be Robert Brown after Robert Brown leaves. We still need a big man....
He's a good add. He and Norton can discuss Illinois things. It will be a crowded backcourt when he starts playing in 2016, but he should get plenty of playing time the next two years. As of now, he's the only one on our projected 2018 lineup.
Welcome to the southside Mr. Lavender.
If this kid is half the player that another Southern Illinois transfer was for us, then we got a good one.
Who was the other southern Illinois transfer?
