Ex-@Cajunbasketball G Kevin Brown tells me he's committed to UNO as grad transfer. 5.5 ppg/2 rpg/35 3s as R-JR. TX native was FR at Tulane.


Tweet from Joshua Parrott. This is VERY good news. Solid player, can shoot the ball, and gives us some much-needed experience if we're going to challenge the top of the Southland this year. Good get, Sless and company.

Sounds like a good pick-up. I'm looking forward to seeing Kevin play next season.

Not a worldbeater, but a rotation guy on an NCAA Tournament team who can shoot. He will definitely contribute.

Unless I am missing something he will be the only player on the roster that has been in any type of college post season tournament. If we can break into the Top Eight in the conference that can only help in the Conference Tournament.

We're already in the Top 8. There are 13 teams, and five are in eligible this season. So we're already locked into the top 8.

That said, we were 8th last year. I don't think we were going to have to sweat that out this year if everyone were eligible. The goal this year is to be a legitimate contender for the top four. I'm not saying we HAVE to finish top four, but I do think competing for the top four this year is a very realistic ambition.

It looks like we can add one more player. It's been reported we are one of several teams recruiting Keljin Blevins for this year.

He's a high school senior, and eligible. No one offered him a scholarship until he made MVP of an AAU tournament. Now he has been offered by UNO, SLU and So Miss.

The kid Bill is referencing is an incoming freshman who still hasn't committed.

Are you asking about Kevin Brown? Brown is a graduate transfer, and can play right away for his redshirt senior season.

Yes, Brown. Thx....I have forgotten all the rules about transfer eligibility between all the changes to diii, ii, nothing and D1, not to mention I' m sure the rules have changed since I cared about basketball again :)

In your post Bill you show Kevin Brown as being added to the official roster. Is the official roster not what is on unoprivateers.com? Because he has not been added on the roster for that site as of 12:52pm on the 23rd of July.

It appears the official site roster is incomplete. Look at women's basketball - it lists 4 freshmen, but there are 6. It may be too early to expect perfection.

This afternoon they officially announced Kevin Brown's transfer. He, and a new freshman guard Kenneth Terry, have been added to the online official roster.

Welcome to the board, MSPrivateer.
