Mike McConathy was just on Tim Fletcher's show and he said that the good game line is one of the dirtiest places in all of college hoops. Said you'll frequently hear coaches say, "Good game son, we'd love to have a player like you."

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.

That's one purpose of the transfer portal. Schools are allowed to reach out then, but not otherwise.

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

A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:



After helping Louisiana Tech claim two victories this past week, Kenneth Lofton, Jr. was named Conference USA and LSWA Player of the Week in announcements made on Monday.

Discuss it here.

So, I noticed Junior's got a new "do". I like it better than the "gumby" hairdo. It looks more serious and grown up.

[FriscoDawg]

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 better

I agree.

Does anybody know what happened to Crawford? What's his injury?

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.

I think I would like to see more of Green at 3/4

Me too! He's susceptible to the drive right now but at least his wing span doesn't allow guys to shoot over him. He's gonna have to learn in the trenches like Kenny Hunter.

I do like what we're seeing from Bradford in the last couple of games.

[boxerdog]

I agree.

Does anybody know what happened to Crawford? What's his injury?

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!

[FriscoDawg]

I agree.

Hurt his knee in the Jarvis Christian game after playing 7 minutes.

The only positive spin from this is that he should be eligible for a hardship year if he misses the rest of the season. He had played in too many games (16) before his season-ending injury two years ago. If he gets the year back he would still have 3 years left.
