Granted he came here with tons of talent and upside, but he regained his confidence in Ruston. A classic win-win situation, for the player and Tech.
Before the critics get started, I think we can definitely plug a hole or two from this list. While being wary about building a roster (just like with JUCO's) from short-term players, as the best way to produce a constant winner is through excellent high school recruiting.
Thanks for the list, I look forward to checking out the player profiles.
