“I feel comfortable with the staff at Fresno State,” Crump said by text. “I trust that Coach Q and Coach [Steve] Cleveland have sincere interest in my success as a basketball player and a young man.”

GONZO DENIED CREDENTIALS AT NBA DRAFT
Sometimes you can’t make this stuff up.
Former Seton Hall coach Bobby Gonzalez, he of the profanity-laced tirade directed at Pat Hobbs, Dean of the Seton Hall Law School, made quite an appearance at Thursday’s NBA Draft.
“Funniest NBA Draft occurrence came at 6:40 when I was walking in,” a well-placed industry source said. “Bobby Gonzalez was being denied a credential and tickets at media will call.”
Still, Gonzo managed to somehow get in, only to publicly challenge Jeff Goodman of FoxSports.com by telling him to leave him out of his articles in the future.
Thankfully I avoided crossing paths with Gonzo.
