Jeffcoat to play basketball too?

[updog07]

This is the first I have ever heard any mention of this.. But apparently Rick said that he would let him play..

Barnes is going to give him a tryout and if he misses half his free throws, he's on the team.

LOL-you nailed, it Third Coast!!

Next year we have Wang, Chapman, Hill inside. I think we can find a place for Jeffcoat.

Don't forget about Tristan Thompson, but yeah we need all the help we can get in our front court next year.

I'm skeptical, but if they work it out, sure.

If he can shoot FT's then is can play for UT.

I found some clips of him on youtube. There werent much.. but the dunk at the end of this video is pretty awesome..

No way he plays C here. Maybe could play the 3. Who would he steal time from there... Maybe Hamilton, Shaun Williams or possibly Hill. All this assumes he can play defense well enough to overcome his midget frame (6'4") for the 3. I doubt he would have been recruited at this level in BBall...though I say that without actually having seen him play.

After watching today's game- Baylor- I think there's more on the football team that would be as good as what Barnes develops.

 

[HornsForever'93]

I dont think that I want Barnes near any of our football talent. High school teams shoot free throws better than his teams.

 

[pike]

What position would Jeffcoat play? Isnt he too short to play inside?

Going to Mad Dog workouts at 6am, classes that begin at 8, and then he gets to go to BB practice in the afternoon. Don't hold your breath. He will think about BB next year and then realize he does not have the time.
