Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 5084036, member: 27"] You are the first person I have heard say that Lampkin had trouble at Colorado. From what I have read, he was a big fan favorite there and was popular with his teammates and liked by the ooaching staff as well. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ralphiereport.com/2024/3/27/24113598/colorados-eddie-lampkin-jr-to-enter-transfer-portal-per-reports[/URL] He did have a bad ending at TCU and Jamie Dixon apparently told some local reporters he was lazy and uninterested in working after he got his NIL money. The TCU board says he got hurt, which was part of the problem. He lost a brother the summer before the season and lost an aunt during the season as well. In any event, he was also a major fan favorite at TCU. And his side of the story of how things fell out in TCU is very dffferent than Dixon’s. Here is a discussion on Lampkin on a Hoya message board earlier when they thought he was headed there.

Eddie never openly accused Dixon of being a racist or even a liar and deleted his posts saying this shortly after they were posted. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/college/big-12/texas-christian-university/article272941005.html[/URL] I think it is pretty clear the biggest reason Eddie left TCU was to find a place where he could start and play a lot. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/college/ncaa/article287022145.html[/URL] It think it is pretty clear the reason Eddie is leaving Colorado is to make as much money as possible from his last year of eligibility. I have no problems with either of these reasons for transferring. Not thrilled with him apparently accepting our offer and apparently going in another direction almost immediately. But for a poor kid with no shot of making big bucks playing pro ball, I understand him wanting to maximize his last chance to make some real money. Hopefully someday soon there will be formal contracts for NIL deals and this kind of thing does away forever. [/QUOTE]
