Previously committed to Vandy. Good! I think we have Travon Landry coming too.

Hopefully he can be convinced to go elsewhere.

Not impressed with Landry? Lol. I don't know anything about him.

No. He's not a D-I basketball player, much less an SEC player.

Senior season stats (flea'd from HKVol on Hoopsville (http://forums.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=7&f=1398&t=11398754)):

Quote from: HKVol
Points Per Game     - 2.8
Assists Per Game    - 2.7
Rebounds Per Game - 3.1
Steals Per Game     - 1.4
Blocks Per Game      -  .0
Total Points             - 88
FG's:  29-114  25.4%
3FG's:  2-29     6.9%
FT's:   24-45   53.3%

Most points in a game this season?  10 points in the second game of the season

Most assists in a game?  7 in the last game (team scored 131 points and Rathan-Mayes had 20 assists in that game with a triple-double).

44 steals and 40 turnovers on the season.

We also don't have a scholly free for Thompson unless Landry doesn't come or someone else leaves.

Probably what will happen, I have no idea what CCM was thinking offering him

Jeez.  With numbers like that, how did he get any D-1 offers?  There has to be more to the story.  Did he show more in earlier seasons and get injured?  Does he have a younger blue-chip teammate who might join him later in a package deal? :dunno:

He did not have any other Div 1 offers
