Elijah Thomas, 6-9, 240 transfer from TA&M

Red Don said:
Rivals top 30 player in 2015.

Transferring because of lack of playing time (said to be the 10th man in a 9-man rotation).

He'd have to sit a year but he would have 3 years to play.

Texas thought to have the inside track, but Huskers could offer Automatic Playing Time!

Just wondering, if he is the "10th" man in a 9 man rotation, does that mean he is not very good? He's obviously a bench warmer at this point, so I have to wonder why?
 

I'd sure take him cause at this point.....why not. BUT, dude looks like a bit of a project and I'm not confident in Miles' ability to develop big men. From the Australian guy who lasted all of 1 year, to Hammond thus far, to Moses last year....just seems like Miles requires a big man who is born 6-10 250 and knows everything that is required before he steps on campus. Hope i'm wrong but thats my impression in year 4 of the T.Miles era.
 
It seems Miles motion offense never looks to the post. Maybe that's the case because we don't have a big man, but it's tough to sell their place in the offense when we show no initiative to get the post players the ball.

You have a point, but I think this is a chicken and egg argument. I think Jacobson is the only big guy on the team that can reliably catch a pass in the lane. Hammond can if he isn't engaged.

I think the offense looks to the post only if the player can handle the pass... which was why the last game with Jacobson was so nice to see.

GBR :N:
 




its going to happen fast. If he enrolls next semester then he can play the second half of next season. Wherever he ends up we will know in a couple weeks.
 
From another Board:

Read on other boards that beckner has a tie with his aau coach and could very well be the lead recruitier. Just have to wait and see what happens.

<abbr class="published" itemprop="commentTime" title="2015-12-22T06:05:50+00:00"></abbr> After looking at the rosters, it does look like playing time would be more for us and asu over Clemson.

just a reminder that this kid was the 29th best player in the 2015 class and had offers from kentucky, louisvillve, and kansas.
