I can't see a situation where we sign a guy who got kicked off a team at ATM.
wait, are we still taking Rondale Watson?
In thinking about all the disparaging of Rondale that goes on here I can't help but think about Steph and Seth Curry. I don't think there's any question that they were both greatly under-rated as recruits. If Seth Greenberg had signed either of them, he might still be at VT. I am not predicting that Rondale will be as good as either of the Currys. I'm just suggesting that we need to take a wait-and-see approach. Being signed by [ name redacted] has given him a presumption of worthlessness by some here. Is that fair? Time will tell.
Did anyone else already post that we offered Jordan Cornish, former Tenn committ? 2014 SG. 3*.
Seems like SMU might be the favorite. Obvious TE staff likes him more than Wilbekin.
Wake Forest has offered 2016 guard Kobi Simmons of Atlanta Celtics (GA).
How many 2s have we offered? Manning is likely planning for more roster turnover given the number of and amount of overlap in offers

The kid's father was a Texas A&M asst and he was dismissed about a month later than his son. Weird situation. Insiders say the son's dismissal was drug abuse related.
