Well our conditioning program has started looking at their tweets so you wouldn't think you'd go through that if you were going to transfer.

247 did an update with Key if anyone can post it.

Would like to see Key come in and push for some minutes. Would love to see him and Levi on the wings and us running a lot. I think if we are able to add bodies our offense will be a lot faster.

Guessing that means no Sina for us. Hopefully Key will be a good pickup. Without looking at video and simply going by stats, I bet he's a lot like Retin. A real slasher that will be aggressive.

It's just unfortunate from a roster management/eligibility standpoint. Looks like we're set up for 2 boom seasons followed by 1 or 2 down years. We needed to sign a JUCO last class or next class not this class

Hopefully we add some pieces next year to go along with the foundation of Tarrant, Retin, Pollard, Hale, and Taylor. If we add Coleman and a wing or a couple posts, we'd still have a good roster.

That's probably pretty accurate the only footage I've found of him is his team's highlights from his freshman year. A taller, less athletic Retin. He has two or three great passes in it, which is probably enough to call him our best distributor. I certainly am disappointed about not getting Sina, but Key at least adds something this roster lacks.

This is where I stopped reading, and started fapping...

Hopefully this means he's trying to speed things up...

I mentioned this on bamamag but Key just reminds me of a guy Marquette would get. Not a great shooter but a big bodied guard who's aggressive and will be a warrior. You don't get that many rebounds and free throw attempts without busting your arse.

He definitely sounds like a blue collar player. I also like his assist numbers too. He might be the backup PG next season and probably the best passer on our roster.

Is it my imagination or has this been said by most commits and prospects since Grant arrived.

I remember several saying that they like the way Bama runs the ball, maybe I'm confusing the two.

I guess it's just that I don't see a good reason for signing him if that wasn't in his plans.

Hope his work ethic rubs off on Lacey and that big guy. I honestly hope Tarrant gives them hell in practice.

Well saw on twitter Sina isn't considering us any longer. He never was going to come back here he just came down here to get some Trim.

Never been big on following the recruiting part of Basketball, who are our top targets, and who are we looking good with?

I can probably find any current commitments on my own, hoping to find some good big men on the agenda.
