Jimmy Whitt has been waiting a long time to play meaningful basketball.
The guard transferred from Arkansas to SMU before the 2016-17 season and had to sit out a year due to NCAA transfer rules. Now that his redshirt season is done, Whitt is preparing for his first game as a Mustang Friday against UMBC.
Whitt took to Twitter Monday to express his excitement for the start of the season.
Former Mustang Semi Ojeleye knows how it feels. Ojeleye sat out a year-and-a-half after transferring from Duke before suiting up for SMU. The current Boston Celtic expressed support for Whitt on Twitter.
