Hornets Looking Into Prince, Hamilton of Detroit

At least that’s what one writer with knowledgeable sources says.

Should Texas Tech Retire Crabtree's Number?

I think the answer has to be yes.

The only problem that would be brought up is the fact that Michael left school after just two years as a Red Raider. However, looking at his numbers, you’d think it took 4 years to put them up. If the only issue with the move is [...]

Mike Leach wasn’t so happy about his very successful quarterback going undrafted.

From the Dallas Morning News:

When I chatted with Tech coach Mike Leach late in the draft, he laughed when I asked for his thoughts about Harrell still being available.
