http://www.nola.com/lsu/index.ssf/2013/05/former_john_curtis_star_malik.html Kinda came as a shock to me. This kid has said from day one that all he wanted to do was be a Tiger.
No one with the scoop? Supposedly he has a good head on his shoulders, and he did get good pt for a Fr.
Speculation rampant at this point. Some say he wants to go play for Trent Johnson, who recruited him to LSU. Others say Johnny Jones is making room for a 6-7 Turkish forward, Ilker Er. Morgan is holding a press conference today. They don't usually do that to say that they are staying.
Not sure why you hold a press conference. His playing time went way down in the last couple of games of the regular season and the tournament. Maybe he got in the doghouse and he wanted out.
My gut tells me this may be a symptom of kids thinking more about their post-collegiate career. I wonder if these kids have had their heads filled with dreams of "how great you can be" stories to the point they don't have a realistic grasp of life. CBSSports.com has one of their basketball insider reporters following transfers post 2012 season and the last time I looked the number of transfers was just below 450.
Tweets out this morning saying he decided to stay. That is welcome news because we need him. Besides we didn't need to make room for the Turk. With Jalen Courtney and Corbin Collins moving on we are already down to 11 scholarship players.
Well I hope a guy averaging barely 5 points per game doesn't hold a press conference to announce he is staying at LSU.
is collins leaving a done deal? would hate to see a freshman forced out, would be poor character of lsu coaches. hopefully it was his decision.
