Also possible...either way if he is entertaining offers from outside of Tennesse then my guess is something changed in his mind or life to facilitate that

Or he's not as good as he thinks he is?

He is a really tough defender. JUCO leader in steals this year, and the year he practiced at UTK most of the talk was about what a pest he was on D. Not quite as good at the other end. i certainly think he was hoping for better offers than those at this point.

So he's not as good as he thinks he is

I believe you are spot on with that He supposedly had an offer from ODU, but it may have "gone away" when things got to crunch time This looks like it was a very recent offer

If Ritchie thought Bonds had the talent to play at LU, would he have signed him for one year?

The problem is even if Ritchie really liked him, he has 3 years of eligibility We had a schollie for this year, which went to Chen, who is a one and done grad transfer We are already over the limit for 2017 and need to make room as it is, and they still REALLY want to land Jarrod West

HBU is in the Southland. Stephen F. Austin is in that league and has won two tournament games in recent years. I can't believe Sly hasn't jumped on this already.

I was on vacation followed mediately by a missions trip. But I was ready to reply as I scrolled down the thread until Chris beat me to it.

I know the coach at HBU and Braxton will be well taken care of here in Houston.

Posting this here because I'm too lazy to start a thread in Non LU sports. Braxton Key, who was Bond's highly recruited HS teammate, is transferring from Alabama to UVA. Along with having a relationship with Bennett from his HS recruiting, UVA is the alma mater of his uncle Ralph.

Bonds will be a Senior on a really bad Houston Baptist team next year.
