Hate to see him go, but it might have been necessary with the two freshmen we're bringing in, two guys we've already got out of the portal, and Jordan Pope if we can land him.

Wish him nothing but the best. These days the HS kids need to be able to contribute quickly or they likely won't last long.

Wish him the best, got an early look and clearly wasn't ready for the PG role even as a quick sub for Wade or Boots.
He isn't going to replace Boots this next year, so there is really no path for him next year and with the Wilcher transfer, Wilcher just took the 6th man minutes.
Starting
Wade
Manny / Pope or other portal SG
Jace
Backups
Manny / Other portal SG
Wilcher
Hefner ?
Lee ?
Andre Mills?
So best case Lindsay would be the 6th guard to play and maybe 7th, 8th, or 9th depending on what Hefner does and how good Lee and Mills are.
Buzz recently said that Lee is the best athlete on the team. Which is really saying something with Manny and Solo on the team, as they are freak athletes.

Lee isn't even on scholarship. I wouldn't expect much of anything from him.

Appreciate Bryce choosing Texas A&M. One hopes between the coaching, the experience, and the classes he feels it was worth it.

Realize that doesn't mean he can play basketball...
I don't know anything about him. Buzz just mentioned he was a incredible athlete, probably best on team.Know Your Enemy said:

No way Manny doesn't start next year. I'd expect to see Wade, Manny, and Pope if we get him all starting. Similar to the three guard looks we were going with to end last year.

If Bryce is leaving, makes chances of us getting Pope better. May have led to the move.
