Texas Tech dumps hoops commit

Dad: Tech releases Rockwall's Godwin
By KATE HAIROPOULOS / The Dallas Morning News
Rockwall 6-8 senior and Texas Tech signee Michael Godwin will not play basketball at Tech after all.
Godwin's father, Charlie, said Tech has released his son from the national letter of intent he signed in November.
Charlie Godwin said the Tech coaching staff notified Rockwall coach Lynn Nabi last week that they no longer wanted Godwin.
Godwin committed during his official visit to Lubbock in September.
Godwin, ranked the No. 35 player in the state by TexasHoops.com, was averaging 6.6 points and 5.1 rebounds entering the holiday tournaments. He had 17 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in Tuesday's victory over Mesquite Horn.
Attempts to contact the Tech media relations office were not immediately successful.
Godwin will reopen his recruitment and hopes to sign with a new team during the NCAA late signing period that begins April 12.
