Zach Lofton

Good luck to Zach, but I agree that ISU will be fine without him, regardless of what he does for the Gophers. I would personally want players on my team that I could count on day-in and day-out and Zach did not appear to be one of those. But none of us actually know since we were not with the team on a day-to-day basis. Coach Muller and Zach just did not appear to click so time to move on.

I'm also not a fan of players who need to put up a ton of shots to get their points. I do think ISU will have more talent next year than they did this year, but their guards need to shoot higher percentages (which I think they will).

What was your opinion of colt then? How about DJ?

While I think this comment is hilarious, I think it's pretty fair to say that both Colt and DJ's efficiency numbers, though perhaps not overly-conducive to 25-win seasons, make Lofton look laughably bad.

Lofton has apparently been dismissed from Minnesota's team.

@Pg_Benson: RT @GoodmanESPN: Minnesota coach Richard Pitino dismisses junior guard Zach Lofton from the program. Illinois State transfer.

I knew this guy was a head case. I'm glad ISU got rid of him when we did so we could use that roster spot on potential! Not gonna say I told you so but....

Lofton has apparently been dismissed from Minnesota's team.

Any reasons given?

I'm guessing "realized marginal talent wasn't worth cancerous attitude and multiple years of scholarship spots"

[valleyclimber]

Zach Lofton was a cancer for the ISU program. Not surprised he's now officially gone at Minnesota. No head coach wants to deal with an absolute headcase.

It's addition by subtraction for the Redbirds.

[mathewson10]

All the defenders of Zach Lofton... He is available if you want him.

Wufan, this comes from the Pantagraph:

The Minneapolis Star Tribune said Lofton participated in Minnesota’s open scrimmage on Sunday and “was seen arguing with teammates and apparently snapped at a couple times (by coaches) for his poor body language.”
