Just once I want coaches to admit that bringing in players they know are reaches and then running them off for another reach is just as much a part of the "transfer problem" as kids not being willing to stick things out. Two way street here.
Can’t get over the work Kofi Cockburn has done to get in shape and commit to playing hard at all times. Whatever

Cade Cunningham is awesome. As good as advertised. But can't talk about Oklahoma State and not mention the growth of the rest of their players. Lost a lot of close games early, many teams would have folded. They got stronger. That's a team and staff that believes in each other

What KJ Adams has been doing for Kansas this season is pretty mind blowing. Guy is probably 6'6". Instead of whining that he's not on the wing he's absolutely embraced playing the five and has made himself indispensable.
The NCAA failed all involved by not rendering a timely eligibility decision to Kansas freshman Billy Preston. Now, the former five-star is headed to play professionally in Bosnia. My column:
Kansas is going to have a pretty monstrous front line next year with Udoka Azubuike, Silvio De Sousa and David McCormack. Also add in Dedric Lawson being eligible after transfer season and the Jayhawks have horses.
News: Change of plans for unsigned five-star Jayden Quaintance. He will now visit Arizona State tomorrow. Memphis visit is being rescheduled for next week.

So, NCAA commission says shoe companies should have more financial transparency. What about the NCAA’s own financial transparency if they want to demand it from others?
Ran into Mike Anderson today in Kansas City. Coach is really motivated to make it happen at St. John’s. I’ve said before, I would bet money on him doing a very good job there.

Since embracing 1 and done in 2010-11 under coach K, Duke has 1 title/Final Four and 0 ACC regular season titles. Since UK embraced 1 and done under Cal, they have made four Final Fours, won a title and won 5 SEC regular season titles. Would say Coach Cal has been better.
I want to be sure to send a special thanks to everybody
@Rivals
. I had a nearly 10 and a half year run there that I will never forget and I can't thank them enough. Without the opportunity they gave me, I'd have been out of the business long ago.
The people who should be rightfully complaining are the THOUSANDS of other prospects who need more exposure but aren't allowed it during this window. And the 200 plus college programs for whom NBPA Top 100 is worthless because they can't get those kids.
College coaches/NBA personnel allowed to go to Top 100 camp here in Charlottesville today ... for 24 hours. Makes no sense. They are allowed to watch starting at 2 pm today until 2 pm tomorrow. Can’t wait to hear all the coaches complain (and rightfully so) about small window.

I’ve spent seven days watching the class of 2018 with NBA guys the past few weeks. Their general feel is that many top players need to toughen up and compete. On them to change that opinion from here out.

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times. You can't underestimate how important it is to be able to catch a racquetball when you are driving to the hoop trying to score on Gobert........
LeBron is in the midst of another mind blowing performance and it just seems so easy for him. Unreal. How could anybody call themself a hoops fan and not appreciate him?
