Wasn't there an issue with his father's health and he wanted to get closer to home?

On his own. LB and co. really wanted him to stay. Leslee Smith was the kid who was asked to look around which was, in hindsight, a mistake.

Yup, all true. I do give LB a little more slack on the Smith issue than I used to, though. Leslee's injury was not basketball-related and a small cover up ensued around it. Then, he wasn't really regarded for his work ethic. His return was timely, but apparently coaches thought he was supremely lazy. That rep followed him and LB just cut the chord, despite the kid being very legit. We'd have won a lot more games LBs first year had he stayed. Certainly was better than Shawn Williams
