Great post, Mike. I have also had the pleasure to chat with Cragg and agree he is a humble, genuine, thoughtful professional. Would love to see him here for an extended period.
Thenks and agree. Hope he is here very long term. Btw you should have heard how excited he was about his lacrosse hire. MCN would have tears off joy in his eyes
 
A friend of mine recently came across some used Red Storm weight plates and bought them. These were from custom molds made by York Barbell in late 90's. A number of colleges had them.

Lakers Sign LJ Figueroa

He played very well for the Hornets in the Summer League and I am surprised he didn't land a two-way deal. This is an Exhibit 10 contract. Each team is allowed six Exhibit 10 contracts. They are one year contracts for the league minimum ($1,017,781). If the player is waived prior to the regular season, they get $50,000 -but must play for the team's affiliate G-League team. LJ signed an Exhibit 10 contract last October with the Warriors and was waived just three days later. It's a tough business. All the best to LJ!

Lakers Waive LJ Figueroa

Just two days later. I think this is by design to make it more appealing for him ($50,000) to play with their G-League affiliate while he waits for another opportunity.
