Immigration issues bench Lady Raiders' Leashja Grant

It doesn’t look like Leashja Grant will return for her senior season with the Lady Raiders.

Grant ran into immigration issues related to her F1 Visa, which is a non-immigrant visa for those wishing to study in the United States, after she returned home to the Bahamas in May to renew her the visa in order to join the Lady Raiders on their foreign tour. She has since been denied visa renewal four times for “reasons outside her control,” according to sources within the program.

“We don’t know why, so we went from 13 players to 10,” Texas Tech women’s basketball coach Candi Whitaker said, also nothing the injuries to Brielle Blaire and Zuri Sanders.
