I heard we got this done late as classes had already started but if Kerns believes this guy can help us then I think it is the right thing for admissions to make an exception here. Our standards are already above the NCAA standard and I don't think Kerns would have tried to get this done if he did not think this guy can help us. In Kerns I trust on this. He has earned that.

Does anyone have any insight to who is trending for our starting 5 and maybe first 2-3 off the bench. I can guess that Huntley and Tate are starters. Looking forward to our first game 10 or so days away!

not really insight, just a hunch.....
1- Tate
2- Conners or Muttilib (both can shoot and averaged 14 and 19 pts per game at juco level)
3- Threadgill (experienced, tough, known as a shooter)
4- Huntley
5- Beaubrun (the only newcomer that Kerns mentioned at media day - D1 transfer who led SFA in rebounding)
Bench...
My guesses would be...
1- Dodd (PG who who started at Texas A&M Commerce - led them in assists, 3rd in steals)
5- Wilson (Kerns says he expects him to be in the rotation)
no idea on others...maybe Ezeagu at the 4 (juco) or Marcus
maybe Alston - freshman, but was known as a lockdown defender in HS
Njock - film looks great, but folks have mentioned the possible season ending injury.

That's weird. Here it was. Stanback actually deleted both today's post asking for his NLI release and the RT of his signing.
He was likely going to be redshirted next season at App anyway, according to a very reliable source. Not sure why other than maybe needing to add muscle. I thought he had a huge ceiling, but also didn’t see any other offers for him.
I wonder what the situation is here? Was he asking to leave because of something he did or something that happened on campus? If Kerns thinks he is just trying to go to a bigger program I would make him sit out a year.
Stanback is on the end of the bench for Alabama St in the first 4 game right now. No stats on the season or playing time that I can see, although he is dressed out.

We are in conversations now with two that I’m aware of , will be more certainly as right now target is five . They are graduates. Both or either would start , again my opinion . If we land those two and everyone else returns that we expect, that’s a solid starting five . It might be however that better options become available as things progress and on the downside we do have a player or perhaps two that will be recruited and offered money. I believe one has already been approached. If we lose him our strategy changes of course.

The only player eligible to return next year that I could imagine getting a money offer would be Wilson. Would hate to lose him.

I’m also eager to see how Michael Marcus Jr. develops in an App uniform.

Abson's case study hopefully keeps him in Boone for at least 1 more year.

Every situation is different and most of these guys have a “that’s not going to happen to me”, mentality.

Oh I agree for sure. Just can’t imagine schools taking a look at 4ppg in 13 mpg (Guessing Wilson’s stats) and saying, I want to pay that guy. Abson was far ahead skill wise of Wilson 2 years into their career and Abson barely sniffed the floor this year. It could be about projectability though, or just believing advice, whether it’s wrong or right.
