What many people don't know / remember is that the previous HC (Mr. Texas State Bobcat Everett 'Bringing the Juice' Withers) kicked Jimmy Moreland and 2 others off the team summer of '15 (a misdemeanor arrest IIRC). Moreland was the only one of the 3 to stay in school -- he paid his own way through the rest of the summer and fall of '15. Coach Houston interviewed him after his hire and offered him the opportunity to try out as a walk-on. My initial thoughts were good, give the kid another chance -- while my cynical side said, 'yeah right' -- especially given Moreland's drive to stay in school on his own dime and NOT go back to Florida. Coach Houston has done enough things the right way in his 2 years a JMU to confirm he brought the kid back for the right reasons.
