Hopping on the @EyeOnCBBPodcast with @MattNorlander in just a few minutes to breakdown the summer recruiting period.
Peach Jam thoughts, a look back at which recruits popped in July, a big take on the 2026 recruiting class, why so few players are committed right now ... and Memphis' run of bad PR continues. The @EyeOnCBBPodcast is going live now: youtube.com/watch?v=YWv7d-…
While it may sound counterintuitive, I think there’s a real case to be made for blueblood programs to prioritize recruiting multi-year players outside the top-25, rather than players around the top-10. Here’s why… 📝 📺 youtube.com/live/YWv7d-e_j…
Bucknell has landed a commitment from Foothill HS & Cali Rebels big man Danny Kennard. Known for his offensive skill & versatility at his size.

There’s been a lot of talk about the collective strength, or lack thereof, of the national 2026 recruiting class. I explored the ramifications on roster construction for the 2026-27 college season. 📝 cbssports.com/college-basket… 📺 youtube.com/live/YWv7d-e_j…
