HOOPS: Texas Tech transfer Avery Benson was with the Texas team yesterday... (updated)

I find it curious a 5* with amazing practice habits doesn’t make an impact.
Saturday 1:05 update:
A well-placed sourced confirmed Benson will join the Texas program and fill a similar role to the one he did in Lubbock last season. Chris Beard is an enormous fan of Benson and the value beyond the on-court basketball he brings to a program.

I read that first sentence 4 times and still don’t understand it.
If he can hit 4-5 three’s a game in critical times, bring him in.
Not asking too much. 12-15 points, all coming at critical times.
Not his game. I know its a shock to some that a white SG isn't a dead-eye shooter but he's basically a smaller version of Cunningham. All hustle, all effort, all heart, all of the time.
Your take on Davis...
Where does this come from? Why give up a valuable schollie to someone who has underachieved in a huge way at a huge position of need because he might be a coach someday?? A #5 overall player and 5* sure fire NFL prospect may not have the practice mentality you believe and may be entitled. Give me more NMST LBs that produce on the field any day. If our coaches are bringing in guys hoping he's a coach.....well, man, I don't even know what to say sbout that.
I think he was brought here because a Bama 2nd or 3rd stringer might be a 1 or 2 here at this stage.
Oh my mistake. I guessed the topic morphed into a different discussion.
I don't think that is the main reason he was brought in but it's an added bonus. Davis is obviously going to play more than this basketball transfer. He was one of the leaders in the Bama locker room, and one of the hardest-working players on the team.
Similar to Thornton coming over from LSU and quickly becoming a leader and having a motor in Spring practices that our current team isn't used to seeing.
You need players like this on a young team.
We have 5 extra ships to play with and that's regardless of what happens or doesn't with Sims. Perryman will probably also get a ship although he's a really good player in his own right.
Both the football and basketball portions of that make perfect sense when you understand what they bring in from a culture standpoint. How to work hard and stay humble, even when you aren't playing as much as you want too. Good pickups. Welcome to the 40, Avery and Ben!
He was brought by coaches who know him. I’ll trust the coaches of a natty on this one.
No kidding. These coaches aren't chumps sitting on the couch with their IPad, trusting amateur evaluations and rooting for guys in high school to please commit. They have seen this guy enough to know that, although he may not be enough to crack the Bama roster on the regular, he is different, in a good way, from anyone we have on our roster, AND he brings it daily. They KNOW what they are getting.
Some of y'all need JESUS! 😃😃

I was being a smart ass. Referring to blocking pads used in football being used in scrimmage. Poor attempt to be funny.
