Abron transferring from Arkansas

[NT03]

Wants to be closer to home

Yes, Please

[H-towngreen]

HELL TO THE YEAH!!!

Wasn't it pretty much down to us and arKANSAS when he decided? He'd sit this year and then take over for T-Mitch next season.

Arkansas fans are hoping that they can now land Odoh.

I'd gladly make that trade. They are also stating that he will appeal to be eligible for this season. Not sure we would have the room for him this season. Let's all just hope he doesn't end up at SMU. They did just dump 4 kids so they have room.

chances we land him?

[MeanGreenTexan]

Oh, if there is ANY way to get him, please make it happen!

This guy steps in right away for Mitchell next season and, although he doesn't fully replace Mitchell (not sure we'll ever see his replacement), he will fill in VERY nicely.

Well, there will be five seniors next year.

That's fine, but NT doesn't have a ship for next year. I doubt he will pay his own way, another place for an academic ship ala SMU.

Did Evans recruit Abron to Arkansas? Huge advantage for the meangreen. Not sure how you make room for him, (referring to scholarship) if he a gets waiver. The transfer carousel keeps moving.

Star Telegram quotes a release from TCU and HC Trent Johnson.

[NT03]

FWIW he was granted waiver from NCAA , eligible immediately

[MeanGreenTexan]

Wow! This should help them in big 12 play.

[UNT90]

FWIW he was granted waiver from NCAA , eligible immediately

Which is why he chose TCU over UNT. ;-)
