No one is claiming dark deception. I’m using my eyes to see that he isn’t close to home in Dallas. There are many reasons to transfer and the getting closer to home reason was trumped by one or more other factors.

Got a little closer to home…1 flight away. But the real deciding factor was that a 36% free throw shooter isn’t getting many calls for any level of ball. His level of athleticism should do him well in D2

Looks like the tweet was made private.

As shown above. No existing profile so I'll see if I can work something up so he'll show on the Commits page. It's not a simple task to back build a profile for straight D1 transfers. If I don't get the dates in order it screws the whole works. It might take some time.

TRANSFER COMMIT:

Please don't do this yet again. You need to feel you have inside knowledge and get upset when actions don't back up your "intel".

It's going to be ok. X was a great kid, very athletic and needed something new. He found it and it wasn't close to home. Godspeed to the young man I was always impressed with his interviews.

It’s JUCO in NW Florida near PCB, and they are usually very good. He shot the ball well this year. Unfortunately for him, his dad was a problem. He should be able to find a home with his 3 ball and 92% FT.

I saw Bryson Ogletree is committed to NC A&T. Ex Mountaineer for like 2 months.

Dodd looks pretty good. Maybe a slower Marsh. Good lefty stroke, can get in the paint. He’s got a nice floater, especially with his right hand which is odd given he shoots lefty! Amphibious! Ha.

Another guard prospect is committing today, we got a visit and we’re in his top 5. Given the string of Guard signings, I doubt we land him but who knows!

Bro, I so wish it was 60 seconds ago...before I read your post mentioning that guy.
All joking aside, I wish him the best. And I'm really glad he's no longer a Mountaineer.

I just saw that Freddie Hicks, the kids from Arkansas St. who hit the buzzer beater against us is transferring back to Tarleton St. Played three years at Tarleton, transferred to Arkansas St. because his dad played there and is transferring back to Tarleton to finish his career. I guess this is the new normal.

One and done. By the way we are looking to fill one more slot but not necessarily in a hurry.

1 more? Don't we have 2 or 3 scholarships left?
Need to update the other thread of who's currently on the roster.

I don’t keep up with the numbers. I just know we are looking for one.
