I am a little behind here. What is the status of Larry Franklin and Lamont Winters. I am sure we counted on them this year?

franklin is leaving and Winters is still recovering. He has been at the games sitting behind the bench

Whew! I saw the title and thought that was a mid-year cupcake that got added to the schedule.

What's Franklin's deal? Is he just be a sour jerk...he could definitely help the team.

It isn't Franklin.....its something with the coach. Can't keep promises

After seeing Franklin play a handful of times, he is not the answer to this teams problems.

Sometimes one's perspective of the truth and reality can be different. Perhaps Larry was told he'd be given the opportunity to earn the point guard position and it wasn't given on the silver platter that was expected. Hopefully Larry makes the decisions he feels is in his best interest in the longterm and not just today & tomorrow.

I heard that from a few different people...which is odd

Yeah, he isn't the answer the team needs. I wrote in an earlier post that the problem is NOT basketball related....those types of promises. If you talk to him, he really does like it here; but, he still has to look out for his best interest

Do you really think Chris is going to report:

"Franklin leaves program due to unfulfilled promises from Coach"

I doubt it.

Nah, I wouldn't think he'd be that direct. Im just saying that if Franklin is leaving Id want to hear it from Chris first. I mean for all I know dickens may be right and may have come by the info honestly. Im just used to hearing it from more than one inside source for accuracy and validity's sake
