Gabriel Bryant needs structure

Here's hoping that Gabriel Bryant turns gets his life together and turns out to be a great signing for Lousiana Tech.

Bryant, who originally committed to LSU, before the verbal was rescinded, was supposed to sign with the Bulldogs on Wednesday. But since he has no legal guardian to sign his scholarship papers, the sale didn't go through.

After running into trouble with Jonesboro-Hodge coach Joey Pender, a respected coach and former Bulldog, Bryant transferred to the Desire Academy in Baton Rouge. Tech is taking a chance by giving a scholarship to Bryant, but it's one that could pay big dividends. It just may take some extra work.
