Before the 2012-13 season began there were high expectations for then-West Virginia center Aaric Murray. Murray was coming off of a season away from game action after transferring in from La Salle, and the expectation was that the talented forward would help the Mountaineers successfully handle the switch from the Big East to the Big 12.
Unfortunately things didn’t work out that way as both Murray and the program at large struggled throughout the season. Murray averaged 8.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game while also dealing with nagging disciplinary issues. Ultimately he was dismissed from the program, and with a college degree in tow the 6-10 Murray began looking for a school where he could play his final season.

I haven't followed him very closely even at LaSalle. Never realized his potential apparently?

He was the highest rated recruit LaSalle had gotten for years, but was nothing but a boneheaded problem. A 6:11guy who wanted to shoot 3's. Even Beelzebob couldn't scream him into compliance.

The poster boy for non-believing in recruit rankings.

The SWAC sucks. It's oftentimes bad by div2 standards.

Having said that, this year's edition of Texas Southern is not your normal SWAC team. I don't think they'll rise to the level of being an NCAA at-large team, but they may actually be a solid NIT caliber team.

If that sounds like a backhanded compliment, I don't mean for it to. They're actually looking very much above what most SWAC teams look like.

What a waste of a talent he's been.
