Glad to get a good transfer. I could be wrong, but we aren't expected to have a great recruiting class next year, right? Help hold us over for a year.

It's a down in-state crop, and Woodard is likely the only currently ranked top 50 player we have a shot at. Considering we will have a sizeable scoring hole to fill when Sexton likely declares after this season, this was a huge pickup. I'd rather have this than a solid grad transfer.

Can I get a briefing on why he was suspended?
"Violation of Team Rules" leaves just too much too speculation and I'm too lazy to find out what the "official unofficial" cause of his suspension(s) was.

Pretty much all that is known.

Texas article on Mack
LINK
quote:

The second suspension came one day after Mack had to be separated from teammate Kerwin Roach Jr. on the court after a disappointing loss to TCU. It turned out to be a full separation from the UT program as Smart said Mack would be granted a full release.

quote:

At the time, Mack was averaging 14.8 points per game. But some players grumbled privately that Mack’s poor attitude only complicated things in what became a 11-22 season.

I think he's going to come back. But damn it I'm nervous about it.

*Update on Braxton Key*

quote:

.@CoachAvery6: "I talked to Braxton Key last night. I think we'll know something by Friday. I have an idea about what the decision will be."


I didn't hear him when he said this, but people said he sounded optimistic. If that's the case, I feel like he's coming back.

It's shaping up to be a good news week, if Key can just not disappoint.

Figured it was along these lines. Whenever a team struggles and disappoints as bad as Texas did last year, this kind of stuff typically happens.

So note to the team: Don't Lose.

Don't see it happening, but a starting 5 of Sexton, Petty, Mack, Key, and Hall might be the best starting 5 we've ever had. Not to mention we'd have very high quality reserves with Ingram and Giddens coming off the bench.

Even if Sexton does return I expect other players to leave. Guys transfer so fast now.

I think Giddens and Mack will both be JRs in '18.

Somebody on here called that Yasir could help with Mack. Might have been BigBird. Whoever it was good call.

I think they went 4-13 after the suspension of Tevin, so maybe the other players could use an attitude check.

The risk reward here makes it a good move. If I didn't expect us to have good depth next year, I'd be more worried about this attitude issue.
