I am kind of surprised he is still at TU.
A bigger TU fan than me (I've attended one Reynolds Center game) had an interesting take on it: Not getting Rotnei Clarke kind of messed up what could have been.
They had a really good center in Jordan and solid role players. Adding a shooter like Rotnei would have made TU a contender in the C-USA, even against Memphis and would have probably gotten them more looks for the NCAA tourney, or at least the NIT.
Alas, Rotnei's dad got an ORU job and suddenly, their crosstown rivals are no longer on his short list.
