Per Twitter, Liddell has committed to Detroit. Will need a waiver, but they seem to be giving them to everyone these days.
Former big time recruit who struggled to find playing time at Texas but was solid at Alabama State.

At this point it seems like coach Davis is just trying to have a full roster for next season. 4 years in and we are still recruiting at the same level. Derien King and Gerald Liddell are almost the exact same player. I hope Liddell does well.

Gerald is a very nice addition to our squad!
He was on the roster at Texas for two years (2018-19 & 2019-20) and one year at Alabama State (2021-22). Interesting to note, I didn't see him on the roster for Texas or Alabama State for the 2020-21 season. Hopefully he has two years of eligibility.

Derien King and Gerald Liddell are almost the exact same player. I hope Liddell does well. I would say Gerald Liddell is more like a DJ than a King in talent and in play. I would not say we are still recruiting at the same level 4 years ago. This team we have has four-3 star players and three-4 star players this year. Four years ago we had one 3 star player and are starting line-up was AD, Josh, King, Brandon and Blackshear for most of the games. Willy and Marquis was still a work in progress in their first year with us.

From the films I could get I could not see what kind of defender Liddell is. Liddell seems to have a pretty consistent shot. I think he is a good pickup but does seem to be another player who is more comfortable on the perimeter. I guess more of a 3 than a 4. I do think Anderson and Phillips can play inside and help Parks or who ever our big is.

Gerald Liddell out of HS was a pedigree recruit, good enough for Big 12 Texas. Who knows what happened in Texas or why he ended up at Alabama State? If he can play up to his talent under the MD system, he's a home run.

Thanks for the clarification regarding Liddell's 2020-21 season. Sounds like Gerald has only 1 year of eligibility remaining.

Should have 2 years can compete in up to 9 games and still claim a medical redshirt so he can get that year plus the Covid year

I don't know why he only played seven games that year, but I know he had some injury issues. Not sure if his lack of appearances were performance or health related. Maybe he is eligible for a medical redshirt.
