Independent circuit killers are different. Too many HM recruits just join stacked sneaker team to be role player. Respect

"NBCU wouldn’t make the channel available in the big broad channel packages that typically include networks with sports such as Disney’s ESPN & Fox Corp.’s Fox Sports 1. Instead, it would only offer the channel through specific cable packages" Peacock more expensive + this. Damn

Talked with Penn State coach James Franklin today about the expectations on his team and the criticism he faces about not winning enough big games.

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…

The ACC got rid of two conference games in a "bid to give teams two more spots for marquee nonconference games...." Notre Dame and Miami told us today, No thanks! We will take a couple of more 275+ NET home opponents instead, thank you very much. #ACC

As the international prospect market closes, I wanted to take a look at where the top 100 NCAA-age prospects, per my Recruit Points model, have ended up. A few still unknown (and let me know if they have picked somewhere), but most have found new homes.

College basketball's 2025 signing class could pass for a United Nations summit. The number of players joining high-major rosters directly from international outfits is skyrocketing. But will that trend continue in the post-House era? @CBSSportsCBB. cbssports.com/college-basket…

Top 120 recruit to A10. 📈

Sania Feagin with some smart advice. Just a rookie and already a union rep "She’s also advising her former teammates to “save [their] NIL money because the negotiation can go either way.”

Wes Moore, when asked about hiring a GM, channels Bill Parcells: "If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries." He says ultimately, in basketball, the head coach is still making the roster decisions. #ncaaW

Bones Hyland and Jamir Watkins were future NBA draft picks and didn't average 10 ppg as a freshman at VCU. The path for minutes will be clearer, but not necessarily clear. Expectations management on both sides is critical.

Wes Moore on getting Khamil Pierre: "I think the Good Lord looked down on me and said, 'Ok you dumb-butt, you totally messed up this portal thing, so let me help you out a little bit.' ... It was an unusual situation... She's a walking double-double." #ncaaW

A lot of interesting stuff in here and a convo that has come up with a lot of coaches this summer. That said, do think people really underestimate how hard it is for any freshman (even high-level ones like Jackson) to make a serious impact at a really good program like VCU.

This kid gets it. Shouts to Sammy Jackson. "VCU is a school where I know they're all-in on me. There are a lot of schools out there … SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, ACC … you go in thinking, 'Are they going to bring in a 25-year-old senior (from the transfer portal?
