Memphis fans seem to be excited with Tarrant coming in. I read an article in the Memphis Commercial Appeal (here is the
link but I think it is member's only) . The article says that UM needs guards and also needs "a reliable scoring point guard".
It states that Tarrant is not is not an efficient shooter hitting 39.8% from the field but he "can break down defenders off the dribble and create his own shot". It also mentions his 80% free throw shooting percentage which has been practically unheard of at UM. According to the article, ESPN.com rated Tarrant as the 6th best transfer during this offseason.
ETA: I didn't know there was someone rating transfer players. It shows how transferring in basketball has become a regular part of offseason activity.
