    Shannon Russell tweeted he is changing schools at the semester. Wonder what that is all about?

    To hopefully improve his grades/academic standing

    Yes, according to this article:

    http://www.macon.com/sports/high-sch...121827428.html

    “I spoke with the Xavier coach (Sunday) night, and the whole thing boils down to having the best opportunity to play at Xavier next year,” Grube said. “This has nothing to do with athletics. It all has to do with academics. He’s got to get a better ACT (score), GPA and so forth. His parents and Xavier’s coaches felt that doing this would give him the best opportunity to play at Xavier, bottom line.”

    Most of the time that kids transfer schools it is either academic or shoe related. Like it or not, we need this kid active. Gaston exhausts his eligibility, O'Mara isn't fantastic, leaving us with Tyrique who is improving. We are short bodies down low.

    The issue with him though is even if he is academically eligible, he may not be physically ready. He has a ton of work to do on his body.

    I wouldn't be shocked to see Mack go after a 5th year big man.

    Yeah, I hope he's academically eligible so that he can come in and redshirt (or play a very limited role) and get in the conditioning program. I'm not expecting a thing out of him next year.

    it's his 3rd HS in a year and you usually don't see someone transfer to a prep type school for their final semester of HS unless its to get grades in order.

    What about a junior college player to balance out the 5 freshmen?
