just saw the article online and I know we have connections at South Carolina (we have had a few transfers from there in football and our athletic director used to be there). He wants to play somewhere else. Why not here? A starter at an SEC school could really help our front court...

Two Big South schools that do have connections:

-Coastal: His former teammate Chad Gray currently plays for the Chants.

-High Point: Head coach Scott Cherry was an assistant at USC in Holmes first couple of years.

Now I'm not sure if either of those connections are going to sway him, but it is something to consider.

Trust me, Holmes is a head case. While he would be a dominating player in the Big South, I don't think he'd be worth the trouble for any of the schools. Not sure if he'd have 1 year or 1.5 years to play (don't know when the cutoff for midseason transfers is), but he didn't use a redshirt year at USC.

yeah, I was wrong about a school not taking him

I still wouldn't be surprised to find out in a year or two that South Carolina and/or CCU commits NCAA violations trying to keep this guy eligible....just knowing his past and academic background, it wouldn't be that shocking....plus we all know Ellis and CCU are no stranger to violating NCAA rules...
