Very nice addition

Excited that this move along with with the Kobe Julien redshirt should allow us to likely continue having success once the three transfers from the major schools move on. Some people frown on transfers but four starters on last year's conference championship team were transfers. You just have to choose the right ones. In this case, it makes sense as we had a relationship with him going back to his HS days. Georgia State made their mark by going the transfer route so it makes sense for us to use the same approach. Remember some of Jessie Evans best teams were heavily transfer laden.
