UK, Arizona and, obviously, Oregon are all Nike schools. Auburn is with Under Armour.

Just watched, for the 1st and last time, about 30 mins of BIG3 basketball. People pay to watch this? Jesus. This is the worst.

So, essentially they traded Brogdon for a late 1, a lottery ticket(Nesmith) and cap relief. Given where this team is, if they make good calls with the cap space, it works for me.

Kid blew up in a hurry. Went from having a meh offer list to a great one in all of 2 weeks.

Pelicans signing Zion to a rookie max deal. Obviously a no-brainer, but, man, that’s a hit and hope deal. They’re gonna be paying for a lot of down time.

Looking forward to watching him, but one of the highlight clips was really impressive for his skill level. Showed him handling and making passes on the break with both hands with ease. Showed jump hooks over either shoulder. Showed him facing up and driving right and left. If you didn’t see him shoot jumpers, it wouldn’t have been obvious which was his strong hand.

After watching Tayshawn Comer pretty much ignore Booker last year, you can kind of picture this conversation: Booker: So, where do I stand while you shoot the ball? Cupps: I don’t shoot the ball. I pass it to you. Booker: So, when do I pass it back to you? Cupps: You don’t, you shoot the ball. Booker: I don’t think that’s right. Cupps: Yes, it is. Booker: (With the heavenly host singing in his head) Where do I sign?

Also interested in his comments that some really good players wouldn’t succeed in Bloomington. Every coach says it. In this case, they appear to be married to it. Didn’t offer Isaiah Collier or Kanaan Carlyle and offered Jakai Newton but not Stephon Castle, though Castle may have already been locked in on UConn. Plus, he went out of his way to praise Gunn as an Indiana kid who understands the fishbowl there.

Nothing earth-shattering. Some interesting thoughts on some of the kids who left, particularly Lander and Durr. . A lot of talk about X’s development and how Woody handled him. Some good stuff on how Montverde prepared JHS and Reneau along with how the freshman are fitting in so far. And, make no mistake, Rosemond REALLY likes Banks. A lot about Woody’s expectations and the culture he’s looking for. 1 interesting nugget: Regarding the NW suspensions, Risemond said he was in no way surprised that Woody went that way. He said the only other coach he’s worked with who would have handled it that decisively was Mark Fox. In other words, to no one’s surprise, Dana Altman , not so much.

https://247sports.com/college/indiana/Article/Hoosier-Hysterics-Podcast-Yasir-Rosemond-189336074/ Pretty long chat, well over an hour, and worth every minute. I am an unabashed fan of Rosemond. Very straightforward dude. Plus, he and I really like the same kinds of players, which must really ease his mind.

Ryan Humphrey, Notre Dame Asst. Coach and a pretty highly regarded guy, is leaving for another opportunity. Interesting timing.
