OK. Sounds like a nice player. This is the last scholly we had available right? Edwards & McGhee take Tramiel's & Matlock's schollies, right?

So now what?

We no longer go after Olekaibe/Matt Pressey/Donald Williams/Chris Babb?

Well, we oversigned last time we went to the Dance. Let's just see.

Yep. And as for Babb, it's not unprecedented for guys to pay their own freight during the transfer year. Cam Spencer did it to keep a scholarship free.

Of the signees listed by Scouts, McGhee would be the 4th highest rated player to sign in the SBC behind:

Dominique Fergeson, FIU, Grade 95

Brandon Peters, WKU, 89

Stephon Drane, WKU, 89

And by comparison, Holmen was graded a 79 last season.

Scouts also has him as the 5th best prospect in the state of Louisiana. As I recall, Josh White was 9th or 10th the year he came out.

Welcome Ronald McGhee. Several interesting things when looking at the roster of his high school team:

1) He is one of two captains on the team.

2) He is listed as SG, SF on the roster, so his time at the point appears to be limited.

3) Averaged 4.0 rebounds a game as the 2nd tallest player on the roster. This may be misleading, since there was a 6'4", 245lbs guy listed, but is a little concerning.

Thats probably because he's being recruited to be a scoring guard/wing.

Like his high school coach cared about which position he would play in college.

Point is, he isn't the combo guard that we have seen with Josh/Dom/Alzee.

He's averaging 22 a game, you have to like that. And then the fact that he is 6'6 is a huge plus. We are losing the majority of our team next season, but you still have to like the way this team is shaping up for the future. It'll be interesting to see what JJ does with those 23 ships that are opening up after next season.

Very nice pickup. We really needed to a guy who can fill it up from the outside, and possibly be a "go to guy" type scorer for three years. Is he six three or six six? Quite a range in height I'm seeing..

Recruiting services that have him listed from way back (judging by articles) had him starting out at 6'3". Rivals or Scout.com has him at 6'4". ESPN has him at 6'5". His dad told Vito that he's still growing, and he's currently 6'6".

By the time he gets here he'll be bigger than Andre the Giant. Or, he'll settle out somewhere at 6'5" or 6'6".

Vito has another blog update that mentions McGhee is still growing (up to 6'6" now) and that Texas was starting to show interest.

Vito also said that Edwards is 6'9 ... I like that our guys keep growing. Maybe next year Josh can reach 6' !!

      2025 DC Wish List

      We will need to connect some dots for a potential new DC hire (assuming the interim doesn't get it). First, Caponi had no apparent Texas connections. He was a career defensive asst position coach at several schools, and lastly a CB coach at Iowa State, before being elevated to DC at UNT. He did have some DC time at a Dlll school in 2008-10, but nothing since. Was he elevated too fast? https://meangreensports.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/matt-caponi/731 Does Morris have a short-list already? Probably. It's not like everyone didn't know there needed to be a change in DC for some time coming. Here are some starting criteria: -The new DC "should" have previous FCS or FBS DC experience...so a repeat learning-curve doesn't happen. -Texas ties for recruiting would be bonus points. -For a quick hire, I expect it to be someone Morris is already familiar with, no interview needed, only $ negotiated. -Are 2-year contracts a thing for Coordinators in FBS? If not, One-year only please, until we establish confidence. So, with all that in mind: -Find some FCS DCs that Morris worked with somewhere else. -A DC on an FBS staff where the HC has already been fired, or soon will be, but they had a good Defense! (a new HC will bring his own staff in). -A former head coach that has been recently recycled back thru DC to try again.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      In their defense, they probably got influenced by free tickets, the DFW media swooning over them, and want to see why being a real winner feels like.
