Crazy good!
As suspected, according to the article at the link - “A lot of teams wanted me to transfer after USA, but I stuck with Louisiana Tech, where I committed to,” Lofton, Jr. said. https://heatcheckcbb.com/shaws-sleep...is-own-legacy/
We need a list. That's called tampering.Quote:

Comments related to a game aren't what raise red flags for me. It is the unsolicited comments possibly initiated through third parties at the direction of coaches trying to circumvent the rules.Quote:

It seems like a company perhaps incentivizing through a possible NIL contract might be another sticky wicket with the transfer portal.

So, I noticed Junior's got a new "do". I like it better than the "gumby" hairdo. It looks more serious and grown up.
Likely that Tech will need Junior to pull this trick several more times this season if what he just said during his BTB Radio interview is right. Junior just said Crawford is out for the season.
Every year we lose somebody
Crawford is extremely valuable to our team. I really don't believe we have enough firepower to win conference without him.
At this point, I agree. We need multiple guys to continue getting betterQuote:

knee ligament
Getting Stacey back would really help. I mean, what would you do? We can't continue to try to defend the opposing 4 with Christon.Quote:

Yeah, he is a match-up nightmare and a really good rebounder/defender. It a damn shame he tore his knee up again. His game is more torque than finesse--love that guy!Quote:

My early impression of Bradford was SUPERIOR athlete but lacking in basketball fundamentals.Quote:

That's the Pandora's Box that none of the sports announcers ever mentioned. This will happened, just like players were paid under the table by alums/bag people. But, this will be legal.Quote:

Is it the SAME knee that he hurt before?Quote:

According to the Belchers CUSA is on ESPN's naughty list. Must have pained ESPN then to name Tech as "Team of the Week." :icon_roll:
