Didn’t Michael Allen transfer from Kentucky?

Good question, I found this on ebay looking for the answer.

He actually played 1 year of JC ball. Couldn’t find which one.

Juco I believe after he’d signed with a div 1 program. Maybe Western Kentucky.

I knew Michael was special after he nailed a late big three against the Hilltoppers to help us win a big game in 1992, his first year here. Moving on to this year's team, Au was a second team JUCO All American. Someone told me that Sydney Grider was the last JUCO All American we signed. He had a nice career here as one of the best pure shooters we have ever had. Prior to the pandemic Sydney was still playing recreational ball in the area and his shot was still a weapon. If Au can have a career like Sydney did here, we likely will be pleased. I was also told his basketball IQ is high as he has been well coached throughout his HS and JUCO career.

You know somebody has an ancient media guide showing Mike Allen personal college history biography. That would tell us his path.

Most who have left recently have left involuntarily. Reasons have varied but it does show we missed on some guys in the past. This past year the guys who left have been replaced by guys we simply think are more talented. Time will tell if that analysis is correct.

Exactly. That's what concerns me. I can understand a guy leaving on his own accord to try to get more time. It's when we are bringing guys in and then a year later pretty much kicking them to the curb because we realize they were not as talented as we thought or we took them because we had no other options. Doesn't speak well to our recruiting prowess.

Understand that concern. On paper the guys coming in have more credentials than the guys who left. Perhaps our approach has improved. We will find out in a few weeks. That is assuming restrictions are not re-imposed due to virus uptick

We also have a different recruiting coordinator, right? Not saying one is better than the other but sometimes just having a different direction is needed.

Brock Morris replaced Kevin Johnson as recruiting coordinator. KJ left for Tulane. Coach Morris arrived late in the 2019 recruiting season. He brought over Dou Gueye and Durey Cadwell his first year. Dou did improve at the end of the year while Cadwell has been injured in his time here. This past period Coach Morris brought in Awkuba, Butts, Richards, and Au. Coach Josten Crow was the lead guy on Gordon and I think also on recently signed Joe Charles.

Josten is very good recruiter in the Houston area, hopefully his connections start paying off with a couple of guys down the road.
