6'10" 230 lbs.   Consensus 5-star recruit.   A bit of a vagabond.  Aug. 2015 article from USA Today regarding his moves.    http://usatodayhss.com/2015/bily-preston-under-armour-elite-24-prine-u-dallas-transfer

Wow. We aren't even listed as one of the teams in on him.

We are now.

IF we get a great old school pg like Tremont Waters and have OG and Collinn leave, we have lots and lots of space for a PF to shine...right away.

I don't know his exact situation but it's the same place that Mudiay and Ferguson came from.

Trevon Duval and Billy Preston are both top 10 players in this class who have been at Prime Prep and neither is being recruited by Duke or Kentucky.

Arizona stops recruiting him after getting burned by Terrance Ferguson.

Hope for his sake he is able to play but eligibility could be a real concern

I don't like it. Don't want us to take these risks, but I doubt Crean would go near him if it wasn't okay.


 

Surely with the turmoil we had in the program just a few years back, CTC wouldn't go all in on any kid that could cause turmoil to re-surface.  Have to think CTC, Glass, etal. have done some serious digging and hopefully already been in contact with the NCAA regarding any potential eligibility issues.  As others have already pointed out, the fact that he will spend his senior year at Oak Hill gives me some feeling of comfort.
