bg Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 There are strong rumors coming from Lexington that Alex Legion is going to transfer. The Billikens could certainly use an athletic 6'5" shooting guard who was a top-50 rated player coming out of H.S. I have no idea whether or not he's even heard of SLU, but he's certainly an intriguing athlete. Questions for the board: Is the A-10 a big enough stage for him? Could the Majerus name/magic be enough for him to at least consider a transfer to SLU? Would you even WANT a player that only stays with his team through the first handful of games his freshman season? Remember, this is a kid who originally verballed to Michigan but changed to Kentucky when the coaching carousel was in full throttle. For my money, I would take a flyer on him. If anybody can handle him, it's Majerus. He would be eligible the second semester next year, and wouldn't an athletic scorer look awfully good alongside TL, KL and the incoming class?

ccp101 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 He would dominate the A10 but I seriously doubt it would ever happen. I assume he would probably go to Michigan where he was once committed at before Kentucky and where he is from. Or somewhere close to Michigan. He does not play much for Kentucky so I wouldn't be surprised if he indeed transferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about him but am curious why he might transfer. Do you know the reasons? Also, RM is know for running off kids. Therefore, why do you think "If anybody can hadle him, it's Majerus."??

Box and Won Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 "We met with Alex and his mother Friday, and she informed us of her desire to seek a release for her son. Shortly after that meeting, Alex told me that he still wanted to be a part of our program. He played in the game against North Carolina Saturday and seemed happy when I spoke with him Sunday."
