Ali originally committed to Baylor over Arkansas and Georgetown in April 2018. To be clear, he didn't play at all in not just 2018-2019, but also during 2017-2018: https://247sports.com/college/baylor/Article/Flo-Thamba-and-Ibrahim-Ali-made-it-official-as-they-signed-with-the-Baylor-Bears-during-the-late-signing-period-117274556/

He hasn't played in a game since Spring 2017 in high school.

He then promptly decommited from Baylor on 5/11/18 and committed to Arkansas 2 days later (I would chalk that up to Scott Drew being Scott Drew, who is dirty as hell, and probably screwing with the kid somehow, but who knows).

Huge news.  If CMA can land a grad transfer pg like Thornton and get another big man like Jalen Thomas this team could be pretty good next year.

Huge news. Maybe Macon played a role. Either way this just made next season a lot more fun. FIGGY

Awesome news.  Glad we didn't need to sign up low-major Hsu to seal the deal.  Now complete the staff and go get Derriyck Thornton.

Simon has the ability to decide to pull his name out of contention and return to school before the draft.  Apparently he's still attending classes on campus.

We're currently 1 of 3 scheduled visits for Thornton along with BC (visited on Monday) and Gonzaga.  Auburn and Texas Tech also "in the mix."

Looks like Trimble is outa here. Wonder if he’ll stay in D1? He would make a pretty good D3 PF.

I think he will do well in a less competitive conference but I can’t say I’m happy to see him go. I was hoping that he’d turn into a strong role player by his senior year. The previous staff didn’t see value in that.
