Who we will see on wednesday. Similar build, adept passer and lead guard. Not the best shooter

I went on a Aggies board to discuss Branch, not surprisingly they don't seem too pleased. http://texags.com/main/forum.reply.asp?topic_id=2021072&forum_id=7&page=&opt=post

Hard to believe that Aggie fans consider him to be a weak defender, that was universally his best attribute in all the scouting reports coming out of high school. The fact they like his "court vision" though, is great news for a team that needs a distributor in the worst way. I'm just re-imagining that Cinci game this weekend when they were so overtly aggressive in the second half - with Branch we could've seen back door highlights to Moe, Amir, and Dom. I think the wings will benefit tremendously from being able to move without the ball and have a point who will deliver it to them in a position to score. Amir and Dom are going to look much improved simply by having a true point on the court with them.

this has probably been answered before, but refresh my memory.... this kid isn't eligible to play until next spring, however when is he considered part of the team... i.e. able to practice and attend team functions?
And he will be a sophomore nextyear so essentially he will have 2.5 years of eligibility
