well said. the current roster does have holes, but we have a definite upgrade at point, center and power forward. and, i believe Harris, Mustaf and Lindsey are high quality and a big upgrade over guys like Dorn too. the only thing we will miss is Lamar's scoring.

From University of Miami - Miami native and 2026 NFL Draft top pick Fernando Mendoza committed $500,000 to launch the Mendoza Family Fund, supporting multiple sclerosis research in stem cell transplantation at UHealth and the Miller School of Medicine. Truly a remarkable young man.

Was really surprised at how much they increased the price of season tickets this year. Mine are up well over 20%. First time I've really stopped to ponder whether it's still worth it. Especially, as you note, due to the weak non-conference home slates...

Agree. Roster isn’t complete, still need to add some depth of forwards (and imo on ball guard) but it’s a better and deeper roster already. Should make the tourney

This will be a really interesting follow for me. Seen him play lots of times. He’s a terrific athlete who can’t shoot a lick. His whole game is either posting up and overpowering smaller guards or coming off screens or taking DHO’s and straight line driving. No 3pt game. No midrange game. Hard to see that working for him in the B1G. But the kid plays hard so we’ll see.

The biggest spenders left hand want a cap, right hand don’t want a cap. The top end spenders will find a way to pay over the cap like the old days to get recruting advantages again. It should eventually balance itself out from ROI. I think this season is very near the cap. Payments have doubled then doubled again in the past 2 off seasons. They won’t double again. They, in my estimation will hold steady where we are at. Seems like 20 Million is top with about 8-12 teams there. 15 is the next bench mark with about 10 teams there. Then 10 with another 10-15 there. About 30-35 teams spending big bucks. Big question is will certain programs find ways to join party in those ranges?

Lindenwood transfer guard Jadis Jones has committed to USC. The 6-5 sophomore averaged 15.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game this season.

Yep, I'm sure that's coming sometime in the near future. There has to be a stopping point somewhere. Can you imagine if the NBA or NFL didn't have a cap. All small market teams wouldn't survive.

No.

Lettuce also doesn't know that Winker was for a walk on position. David Lee scrubbed the last two weeks of tweets, so his post about 'Wang to Indiana' is no longer there.

I think Allen Graves is a strong lean for them if he doesn't stay in the draft. He's a local kid.

This is fantastic. Kentucky legend Dan Issel gets extremely truthy about Kentucky's recruiting struggles:

I don't know man, I see next year's roster compared to last year's....we have 8-10 players who might potentially contribute...we had 4 1/2 last season. We won't have to watch 2-4 dudes play 38+ mins a night, then Peter out late in the season. We had 3 players who contributed 0 last season. 0. Enright and Bailey would be the 11th and 12th guys on the current roster, and they started a ton last season. The holes aren't nearly as glaring as they were last year in my opinion.

No, but it might not be who we want to come. The current roster, as constructed, would be worse than last season, IMO. Not the talent, but the glaring holes. Going into next season with 3 unused scholarships and no depth at PG or C means the staff is utterly incompetent, like keystone cops level of idiocy. I seriously doubt that is the case and I expect a couple more additions.

What is that, 2 players now for LSU?

Well said, and it's been known that there would be minimal/no leaks regarding anything. I'd say they've done pretty well in that regard. May end up with someone we didn't even know was a possibility...

IU as total control of ticket distribution for the UK game at Lucas Oil so it will not be the historical 50/50 split. Not sure how many seats will be allocated to UK but there is no doubt that the game has the possibility of essentially being a home game for IU - just depends on how IU fans respond to the opportunity to buy tickets. In my opinion there is no way that this game is included in the season ticket package but season ticket holders should get first opportunity to request tickets at various price points based upon their priority point standing. Hopefully those who buy will not sell to UK fans or put them on secondary sites such as StubHub where they have no control over who buys them.

6 words I never thought would be put together. Or a the very least could lead to an involuntary psychiatric hold.

Nah. I very much believe we will field a full 13 man roster and don't see much reason to think otherwise yet. Not a ton of portal activity in general right now. Schools are either saving for NBA draft drop outs or evaluating slim pickings in the portal or going to Europe because they're generally more affordable and polished. Those Euro guys won't be available until midway through the summer or so for the most part. It doesn't seem like any news is on the horizon but given timelines I think that's fine for now. I'll be concerned a bit if we aren't hearing anything come mid June.

UK missed again. Santos going to LSU. In fairness, Wade being able to promise him 80 mins a night and literally every single shot is pretty tough to say no to.

Anyone else getting the impression that no one else is coming?

I'm sure UMass has a lucrative rev share contract to offer him... haha

The kid posting this seems…..pretty good.

Supposedly, LSU fans think they've got 7 or 8 Euros "silently committed" which... seems insane to me. Wade has publicly said he will lean into International players more though. They also held open try outs with the student body (reportedly for the practice team)... I'm sure they will field a team, they will probably just suck out loud IMO
