Jays interested in 6-9 PF out of Norway who's currently living in Texas. I don't think we've offered yet. Interest from Virginia, Michigan and Baylor.

4 star ESPN. Started 4 games for GT. Redshirting this year so let’s bring him in and develop the stretch 4. Could play a Toby Hegner 16-17 role next year

I'm guessing he's looking to be a mid year transfer? Would be great to have him available for the second half next year!

If the coaches want to land him, I'll trust their judgment here. According to GTech, he is now 6-8, 213, has a 6-10 1/4" wingspan (Khyri really spoiled us didn't he!?), said he also gained 2" on his vertical jump ,

clip of his freshman year below lower in the article:

I see a guy with some serious tools whose best basketball is still ahead - so I can definitely see why we're interested. Athletic and long and a really nice shooter who gets his shot off fast.

Strange, there was an article about how he's considering redshirting as well and I didn't see anything on a transfer out there.. but if a guy's looking to transfer mid year, it's likely a situation like this.

Watched him play last year a couple times. He does have some offensive flashes but doesn't have much else to his game. He's really thin.

He looked like he definitely needed a RS year to add muscle and strength. I think the upside is there, and he's now listed at over 20lbs heavier than he was when he got there

LOL, I have a hard time disagreeing! Hopefully Mahoney can help change that impression ;)
