Did C Ridley ever sign his LOI? Status??

 

[Hook 'Em Danno]

Nope, but the scuttlebutt is that he is still committed to come to Texas. Here's the latest post on ESPN's site: Linky. Time will tell.

The signing period doesn't start till April.

 

[Third Coast]

He's still tweeting that he's #UTBOUND.

Sure hope so. He is the key to next year's team.

Now if we could only get Pollard, but that's beginning to look like a longshot.

Anybody heard anything about Jackson Clarkson transferring from Tulsa, he could start right away as a SG. Danny Manning being hired might have changed his mind.

Ridley should be enough to turn a lot of our frontcourt problems into non-issues. While I suspect he'll have some growing pains, particularly in defense and foul control, he'll make up for it in other areas, like points and blocks/boards. We had little to no consistency in the play we got out of Chapman and Wangmene. Plus, Ibeh definitely turns post defense into more of a plus.

I truly think McClellan turns a corner and becomes a feared player in the conference and rest of the nation, so our SG issues are basically solved. Although they don't play the same position, I think he ends up a lot like Kemba Walker. A guy who came off the bench for valuable minutes as a freshman, and then an indispensable force for the next two years. Plus, Lewis will have added flexibility to play more of a 3-point shooter role with Felix coming to take pressure off of Kabongo.

Ridley signs with Texas

 

[Texdoc]

Whew!!!
Something must've kept him from signing last Fall, but beyond glad that he worked it out whatever it was.

HOOK 'EM,

What great news! What is he going to be like? I doubt he's going to run, jump, and block shots like Tristan Thompson. A quick, fleet-footed Dexter Pittman with soft touch around the rim?

I think he will be better than Dex. Some of his highlights below.

I think we will be alright in the front court w/Ibeh signing as well.

Ibeh has some significant flaws, but he is 7ft and seems to be pretty athletic. He needs to control the ball when he blocks a shot and he needs to stop bringing the ball down low on offense, His biggest problem though is that he doesn't move his feet despite being a pretty good athlete.

True.

 

[bazbo]

I certainly don't see us getting pushed around in the front court with these 2. Add in Hamilton and we should have a nice rotation at the 4 and 5 spots. I assume Lammert gets some minutes too his true frosh year.
