| Karl Malone Jr (Posted on 2/16/13 at 10:29 am)
Does anyone know how we were able to get this guy away from La Tech? I know his Father must be like royalty over there as the by far the best men's basketball to ever play at that little place. Kinda surprising that KMJ wouldnt go there to me. I was wondering if it had anything to do with the way they screwed their players out of their bowl game experience. I do know he was vocal about the incompetence of the AD about it. All the perks the kid would get. Big man on Campus- theres some real fine perks to that one. Malone Sr getting his own perks from the school because of this. Hum just smells funny to me. But u cant blame a kid for wanting to play for the Tigers and the SEC.

Offered him a scholarship, that's usually all it takes

he probably wanted to play for a major football team, not that tough of a sell

Terry Bradshaw is offended.

seeing as how Mailman was more "athletic" than Bradshaw that statement is correct.

Had nothing to do with this. KJ committed to LSU a long time before that went down. I met him back in the spring and he had on an LSU shirt. He's been all LSU for a while.

I'd take a QB with FOUR Super Bowl Rings over a guy that has ZERO NBA Rings. As far as Malone being more "Athletic," you obviously don't know much about Bradshaw. He was a very mobile QB, ran very well, and held the LHSAA Javelin Record for 30 years.

Are you really going to try and say Bradshaw was a better athlete than Malone? Really? Because if so

Word up here in NELA was that Tech really put the pressure on him and his family to be loyal to the local school...but that's Tech for ya, thinking they're on a level they're not

Yeah, I think Karl let his kid decide. For football, its a no-brainer IMO. Lots of exposure, and a chance at a NC..

Probably he realized LSU is a bigger school, if he has aspirations to become a NFL player this is the school to go to.

wow, just wow. two different sports but to belittle the qb ability of terry bradshaw is pure ignorance; he may be the best ever in the nfl; without question one of the best ever to play the game. and saying that does not belittle malone.

I wonder how loyal they've been to Karl? Does he work there or make any income from them in any way?

have you ever seen Bradshaw play, or are you a racist, just assuming an A/A basketball player is a better athlete? Fwiw, I never said Bradshaw WAS a better athlete, but he just may be, depending on one's definition of " athletic." Go ahead and shake your head, son, that's what most uninformed people do.
