Tyrone Houghton '14 c/pf 6-9 offered

[tropicalshox]

The former South Carolina commit is now at Iowa Western CC and has interest from the Shockers, Texas Tech and Oklahoma according to Rivals database. He has an offer from Fresno State.

The title should be Tyrone. I'll change it when I get to the desk top.

http://sportstalksc.com/index.php/20...on-isnt-happy/ I have my suspicions that grades were probably not the motivating factor. In fact I never thought I would hear the words Frank Martin and academics in the same sentence. Maybe if the word fraud was included but certainly not for not having good enough grades.

http://www.goreivers.com/sports/play...all_m&int=1783 Looks like he is a shot blocking machine and was a 4 star with rivals coming out of high school.

If I read it right he is #29 in the Juco. Top 50 this year from this site:

This kid not going to South Carolina might not be on Frank Martin. Remember that Aaron Ellis was supposed to go there but couldn't get in. It might have been out of Frank's control.

That is also how we landed Xavier McDaniel back in the day. SC wanted him to go to juco first then SC. X wanted no part of that. Could be a good sign if we get a shot at this kid...

The Shockers have offered according to Rivals database.

[pinstripers]

This is the part I need explained. Do we tell this kid, "we are takin you or Atwood, whoever jumps first."..........or do we say, "we are adding a big, and if our primary guy, goes elsewhere, we want you."..........Seriously, does anyone know?

[pogo]

I would think the "whoever jumps first" approach.

[tropicalshox]

Rivals also shows offers from Fresno State, Tennessee, Memphis, Pitt and Texas Tech. I believe that's a nicer list than what Atwood currently has.

Here are his stats. But other than a handful of games in the game log they look fairly incomplete.

[wsushox1]

We're going after a guy who averages 3 a game?

I'm guessing an early April fools?

[shoxlax]

He is one of the top two or three shot blockers in Juco, perhaps the best.

That is why we are recruiting him.

Like I said, I think the stats are incomplete.
