Re: '21 MD SG - Brandon Murray (LSU ---> Georgetown)

LSU, then Georgetown and then Ole Miss. I don’t see him going to the A10. Even though he didn’t go to the A10, my inference was that he would stay within the P5. I was wrong. According to On3, it’s McNeese St. In referencing his stats, he looked like a bit player for Ole Miss down the stretch.
