1. Let’s see where he ends up.These coaches didn't get the memo that he shoots too much.
Texas Tech transfer Mac McClung has heard from Kentucky, Gonzaga, Texas, Georgia, Memphis, NC State, Minnesota & Florida, per a source.
Nobody has said he can’t play or won’t find a home, in fact many have said depending on how our roster was constructed he could play here even, but we don’t have a need.
He has been told by the NBA he needs to play more #1 for his development. He has not been played at that position very much yet. I believe he has the skills to do it. McClung and whoever his next coach will be should make that a priority.He’s not a PG.
We don’t have a NEED for him.
Why is it so hard for you McClung lovers to understand that?
Maybe he does want that. Being on a title contending team and being a solid contributor even with reduced stats would raise his profile.If McClung came here his minutes and PPG would most certainly drop and then his route to the league would be even harder. He needs to go to a team that lets him throw up massive volume.
Edit: not saying we shouldn’t take him, but he definitely should not want to split minutes like that unless he’s trying to win a title
Coach left at Texas Tech. If he came here he would start. However he may not get the minutes and shot attempts he has before but I bet he would be OK with that if UT was a contender.We would take him in a heart beat. That doesn't mean its a naturally good fit though. Barnes would rather have 7 guys average 10 points than 2 average 20 and the rest be scrubs. Mac would have to be ok will getting less shots per game and most likely starting the year off the bench.
I personally torn b/c he the most talented player from East TN currently playing (sorry Fulky) but why is he even considering leaving Texas Tech? He just left Georgetown!

“Allegedly” ? Produce verifiable info or it’s not true. He was the leading scorer on a team that was better than UT last year.1. He isn't technically from E. TN. He's from Gate City, VA.
2. We wouldn't take him in a heartbeat. In fact, we allegedly turned him away when he reached out, last year. I'm not sure what has changed in the time since then that makes him an instant take, now.
