Title: Rayjon Tucker - Little Rock - Grad Transfer
Post by: JohnnyJungle on March 20, 2019, 11:16:49 AM
Not sure the level of interest but mine is high. Loved him out of high school. He’s a high flying, bruising 3, who plays with extreme energy.

I'd imagine so, and with a good run in the tourney, I could see him back here. I know he loves the school and the program. I think he for sure wants to play for a winner, so hoping we can get some momentum and show him we have the pieces in place to compete again next year.

i would be shocked if he came back.

he's from california.  i'd imagine he'd want at least one year to play close to friends and family...

plus what appears to be his closest teammate, marvin, is leaving, not to mention shamorie....

To be fair he already had a year close to home and family.

I expect him back for the same reasons I expected TO back, he already has a huge role in a program that can enhance his pro prospects and emphasize his skills. 1/2 hopefully.

I'm under the impression LJ will be the only starter to come back.

Simon can’t play d-1 ball unless he is invited to the combine which he hasn’t been and won’t be. He wasn’t graduating this May either. He’s still on campus taking classes unlike Ponds — who was invited to the combine and actually can return now if undrafted.

He could still withdraw prior to daft im pretty sure.
