I was not overly impressed. 90% of what he is doing he is only able to do because he is 6 inches taller than anybody else on the court. He is not overly athletic or particularly quick. He would have almost no shot at guarding the 1-3 on the perimeter in college. I also did not think he looked overly skilled for 6'8". It is just my opinion that we would be better off holding a scholarship rather than taking a flyer on him.

Ok... Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I didn't want to post this because it's over ten minutes long but Coach Penny is in attendance and Lausanne is no slouch.

A lot of hype in that video and he did a few good things.

Seems to have a good feel and a good shot.

But he is really right hand dominant and didn't show great explosion. But it is only a 10 minute video.

Quote:On Sunday, the Virginia Cavaliers were named among the finalists for a top prospect in the 2020 class. Tony Bennett and UVA have a scholarship to give in the class.

Erie (Pa.) McDowell forward William Jeffress took to social media on Sunday to announce his ten finalists. UVA was among the schools that made the cut.

Jeffress announced a final group of Baylor, Pitt, Penn State, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Stanford, Memphis, Villanova, and Virginia.

Also in this article:
Until late last month, the 6-foot-6, 190-pound forward was a 2021 recruit. UVA offered was among the flood of new offers that came following his decision to reclassify to 2020. Among the rush of offers in addition to UVA was Memphis, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, and Villanova.

Maybe Greg Brown is Option A and this kid Option B?

I thought Memphis had three scholarships to give out and no one else has said they were reclassified as of yet. That would make him an A option, wouldn't it?

Would bet money that a local player reclassifies and he will be an A option.

I hopped since Ballin was involved it may have been different-----but instead the university did what it does best--by bending over and just taking it. We know our place and ALWAYS just take it while they SCREW us over and over and over. Whats it gonna take for us or someone to actually call/stand up to the NCAA on their unfair BS rulings against the NON BLUE BLOODS.

Ballin already knew details that are just now coming out.

If anything it was the NCAA that had Memphis by the short hairs.

That is why he added the U of Memphis to the defendants list. The NCAA almost immediately said they made the mistake on the certification.

The main portion of the deal which led to public support for Wiseman is the claim that they certified him and then waited till the season started to declare him ineligible.

That scenario is out the window now.

The school and Wiseman knew in MAY that he was likely not eligible.

Why the word "likely"---if the ncaa had us by the short hairs---why use the "likely" verbiage ? If they KNEW he was ineligible why not say so. Did they set us up ? Did the NCAA /Calipari/K/Self/Williams opine that if we say "likely ineligible" that MEMPHIS would play him and then we can nail them ?

On the other hand if the ncaa knew he was ineligible and told us likely ineligible ---then we would be fools NOT TO PLAY him. If they say likely ineligible and we DON'T play him ---we risk looking like idiots at the end of the year if they say he was good to go. They could say that they didnt say he was ineligible only LIKELY ineligible and we look like IDIOTS for not playing him. Just my thoughts -I'm not an attorney but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. For the little guys- the non power 5 schools--for the good and betterment of college basketball the suit should not have been dropped. WHY ? because they would have nailed us anyway for something else. Play or not playing they would have still nailed us . We were damned if we do damned if we don't. Ala Rose----said he was good and then he wasnt---we should have sued then. JMO

That’s why I dont understand the problem with playing him those first few days. He was eligible until they say he is NOT eligible. LIKELY ineligible really means nothing other than a possible risk of being forces to forfeit games he plays in if ultimately deemed ineligible...AND I would even question that because their last formal ruling was eligible.

Green
Brown
Moussa Cisse
And didn’t catch the kids name but I think he’s a senior at Holly Springs HS this year.

Looks like the kid from Holly Springs is going to reclassify to 2021. And with Shaka staying at Texas who knows about Brown. Looks like we may end up with a transfer and a juco along with a couple of freshmen. The class will be small but good.

I read we are going after a 6-8 grad transfer from Rice.

Trey Murphy I think.

That's the guy. 6-8 and listed as a guard who shoots 3's.

We need to shoot more 3s so this guy should fit in nicely. Whether they go in or not is anyone’s guess.

I have no inside sources, just a gut feeling that we are getting Green, Brown and a reclassified Cisse.

He averaged 13.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game last season, while making close to 37-percent of the 204 3-point jump shots that he attempted.

Would sit out this upcoming season and have 2 years left.

I believe his stats are at 20mpg and also include 4bpg in those 20 minutes

In no way am I trying to be a downer here, but realistically I just do not see why Green or Brown would want to come here with the looming sanctions. Just the chance (small or large) of us having a postseason ban would scare off any type of one-and-done recruit, one would think. I very much hope they all come, but I wouldn’t understand taking that risk of not being able to compete in the NCAA tournament due to sanctions.

I think O’Connell from Duke would be our first choice on someone who’s going to have to sit a year.
