There is a young man that might be interested in joining your hoops program named Maurice Taylor a 6'7" 200 PG/SG he is a transfer from North Carolina A&T please get in touch with this young talent he is on twitter!!!!!

There are other games that might be interesting Butler NC State for instance!!!!
 
im trying to look around to see if we can get some good OOC home games this year that will fill our stands but it is not looking good
 
In Women's Basketball schedule news, Texas Southern Lady Tigers will be participating in the Cal State Northridge Women's Basketball Tournament (also known as the Radisson Chatsworth Thanksgiving Basketball Tournament), November 28-29. They will face IUPUI on November 28 and play either Montana State or Cal-State Northridge on Saturday, Nov. 29.
 
So this has been known for a while now that he's not returning, but Coach Ronnie Arrow officially went public with his status at Texas Southern on Twitter:
Now that I am not at Texas Southern, I am looking forward to speaking and helping run the Bahamas Top 50 camp.Good players that can play

Has any team from the NBA  made contact with Aaric Murray especially the hometown Houston Rockets this guy is talent right under their very nose could be a potential backup for Dwight Howard at the 5 spot!!!!!

I'm not sure if any of the coaches are on social media, but the phone numbers I'd try are 713-313-1996, 713-313-1979, & 713-313-1993.

Not sure what's going on behind the scenes, but his agent is on Twitter: https://twitter.com/spinaBBTG so expect to hear from him or Aaric himself (http://twitter.com/AaricMurray24) if anything comes up.

I believe we may have Donnie Marsh back. Nothing official yet though.

Auburn will also host Texas Southern and play Middle Tennessee State and Xavier (Dec. 20) as part of multi-year contracts that begin at Auburn Arena.

This was known internally, but looks like it's made it's way out to the public now:
TheHRReview said:
Texas Southern's Jazzmin Parker, the 2013-'14 Player of the Year in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC), recently tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her left knee.

Parker had surgery to repair the ACL on July 14. The timetable for her recovery is set for a possible return to action during conference play. However, there is a strong possibility the 5'10" senior-to-be guard will be redshirted and sit out the entire 2014-'15 season.

This past season, Parker played in 32 games for TSU and averaged a team-leading 18.8 points per game. Parker scored 30 plus points four times during the season.

It got a B grade from USAToday so it's all for RPI... if we lose to teams, we just gotta stay close and it'll help us. I still want a Houston Classic... lol

I've looked for confirmations from either Indiana and NMSU, but neither school has published a schedule yet either.

Wow, may the odds be in our favor lol .... this has to be one of the hardest pre-conference schedules. Now this could go two ways. We can either be too beat up by conference play and just totally fall flat or we can breeze through it b/c we've been pushed to a higher dimension of play. What cha think?
