Suddenly an All-American center wants to come here and play (transfer). He's a green hand until he plays a few games? Or did we know he would be good before he came? And is that the reason we went after him and not a third-stringer looking for PT?
I don't think I agree with your thinking there.
Why go after an AA center (hypothetically)? There's no reason to believe he would could play well in Austin, Texas, right? Only the city where he formerly went to school and all of the cities he played in during away games during that time because that is what has happened. Austin may be too much for people to deal with so he may not play well here. Therefore, we must say "he hasn't done it in Austin, Texas or any city where UT plays away games."
Kinda silly, no?
