3 new recruits

plenty of info on Turner. Nothing on the other two Jordan Barnett and Shaquille Cleare.

Anybody know anything about the other two?,

What I have gathered is that the 6-7 Barnett is very athletic, a good rebounder with a nice shot out to the arc. Seems to be a natural wing player, kind of like Jordan Hamilton. His highlight reel dunks are very impressive.

The 6-9 Cleare should be a role player at Texas, but that probably depends on him. Highly recruited coming out of HS, he was pretty much a bust in his two years at Maryland. I've seen his weight listed at 265-285, which would seem to indicate that he may not be in the best shape. He does have to sit out next year after transferring.

It would probably be ideal if they could take twenty, or so pounds from Cleare and add it to Barnett's 190.

Speaking of signees, i know Obie Oleka was released from his LOI in February, but I never understood why, other than the Barnes comment - "There were some issues and concerns that developed over the course of this year, and it is in the best interest of both The University of Texas and Obie that he be allowed to pursue other opportunities,”. Maybe he walked off with some crab legs without paying.
