Freshman Kari Jo Simmons to leave Texas Tech

Best wishes, Kari Jo. You were a joy to watch! Hope all your dreams come true in whatever you do.

http://hoopscoop.net/ubb/frown.gif I really thought she had some potential to be a great PG and had such energy when she was on the court. Even though Erin Grant is coming in next year and is expected to start right away, we still need depth and experience in that position and now we have none, except Jia. It doesn't sound like playing ball is in her future plans. I hope the "medical" reasons are not serious. Best of luck to her!
