Why not.  He was here before and allowed to back out supposedly due to an ill grandparent, if memory serves me correct.  Then again, he is listed as 5'11" and could be a tad shorter.  I won't pass up a scorer, but we should be after bigger guards.

I'd take him. His height might be what deters bigger programs but if he wants to come and be Perry 2.0, I'm here for it. I do like Brumaugh from Tulane but he'll likely be out of price range.

Not sure Ross would play him being a freshman and all.

Would be a soph. portal transfer. Right now, we have 0 point guards for 25-26. I really liked the kid but many times ego gets in the way of making the right decision. Probably would have bumped Floyd from the starting spot or at least taken some minutes. Might have been a defensive liability but his play making ability would compensate. Reminds me of a poor man's Mark Price. (who they listed as 5-11 or 6-0)

17 points per game as a true freshman , I’d take him.

 I think Mason and Cotton would have averaged 17 ppg. as freshmen as well at Central Arkansas.

In this portal era, the kid was smart to go to a lower level school and shine. 
Beats coming here and sitting on the bench all season like the kid from Plano East did. 
Taylor probably has way more value on the open market than Tyran Mason does right now. 

We are going to see kids transferring UP more and more. North Texas has proven to be a great destination for players to win and increase their value. All of our guys from last season who transferred “up” got paid, had meaningful roles on their new teams and made the NCAA tournament.

Ross is not ever going to play any high school players as the level we recruit to is not game ready for a league as tough as the AAC.  I personally see no reason to recruit high school players with this NIL and portal crap and that goes for football as well.

I want to see our three seniors with eligibility (fingers crossed) left, Floyd, Jossell and Massie, along with Cotton and Mason on the court and in our rotation.  Pick up a true PG, Taylor, and some bigs to back up Lorient and Newell.

I wonder if D-Rob has talked to him and if he would be open to returning if he doesn't get a better offer. 6'6 guards that can score on all three levels are hard to find. He may even be able to play small forward. He definitely looks the part. I wonder if D-Rob looked at any practice video of Mason, Cotton and Vice or talked to Hodge about them. I don't see them going to West Virginia.
