Where will JT Toppin F (6-9 soph) play this upcoming season?
🤞 🤘 JT could be a great fit at Texas and help take us to new heights before going to the NBA as a proven talent vs top college talent. Read Bama, Texas, TT and KSt have been in contact. Others are probably in contact as well. Expecting a battle for him.
JT entered his name in the draft. Speculation says he removes his name from the draft after an NBA evaluation.
Any thoughts or info @WesMillerOB ? Thx.
