This dude would be a perfect fit for us on the wing, and clearly he wrote the T in Texas A&M in large dark lettering to indicate "(T)his is the team I want to go to"

This could be an interesting take…

Tennessee basketball forward Olivier Nkamhoua entered the NCAA transfer portal Thursday, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel.

Thanks for the info but if "mental health" is their exception then I assume it will still be pretty easy to get a waiver approved.
Tom Izzo says mental health 'big reason' for transfer waivers

Quote:

Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo said he has "no faith" in the NCAA's plan to limit the immediate eligibility exceptions for two-time transfers because players will continue to use issues such as mental health to earn waivers.

Mental health should be diagnosed by a licensed clinician and not just a player pretending so he can leave his school. Also, if his mental health is so bad why rush back to basketball? Why not take a year off to help your mental health? Oh, because it's 99.9% BS and no one wants to say it is.

You can get diagnosed and get your meds without even seeing a doctor in person. The fancy word is telemedicine or telehealth. Hims & Hers Health (NASDAQ: HIMS) has a $2 billion plus market cap doing just this.I believe they started with prescription hair loss and anti-aging cream and have now moved into the more powerful stuff. Actress Kristen Bell is doing well as she was in early as their mental health ambassador.

Couldn't disagree more with this statement. I'm sure plenty of players will use it as an excuse to get a waiver but ignoring the mental health issue in this country is a huge reason why we see so many shootings and suicides. Count yourself lucky if you don't have to deal with anything like this. And "taking a year off" is ridiculous. Time isn't going to magically heal anything and you can function as you're getting help to deal with whatever issues you may be experiencing.

I'm pretty sure STACKED money isn't gonna put a dent in what he wants. Now you can join up with the 12th Man+ program and donate as much as you want to specific sports and maybe even players.

That seems like an odd decision by him. He would be a heck of a pickup

He is going to get PAID.

I would love if we could land him, but I would think he is destined for a place higher in the CBB pecking order than A&M or going to reunite with Tang at KSU.

You can believe mental health is an extremely important issue and still believe that its use in these transfers is BS. While not likely 99%, it is certainly being abused-further weakening the case for those who have actual issues. Also-why would one have to transfer for this mysterious mental health issue? The rash of mental health issues causing a player to transfer specifically is a phenomenon. Treatment for mental health issues is available just about anywhere-what, specifically, causes the need to transfer?

Friend of Obaseki and Taylow! Come on home Harrison! Would definitely start at the 3! Not the best shooter but is a strong defensive player! Only 31% from 3!

He does a little bit of everything. Good passer. Good scorer. Good rebounder. Not a star, but a guy that could start for us either in Dexter's spot or possibly pushing Coleman to the bench.

Can he make layups and dunk with people around him?

1. Yes
2. Not really.

Can he dunk? Yes. I don't consider him a plus athlete. But occasionally he can do things like this.

He dunked on someone.
