Raby reports Wabbington has said he plans to visit IU. Getting a west coast kid to make a trip to Bloomington for a visit ain't a bad thing.

Committed to California. This was a Woody offer that never gained any interest from DVD.

Owen Sullivan, was in state of flux. His current school, Anna Maria College, in Paxton, Mass. was ending all operations. Had no idea what was next, despite 1st-team All-Conf. year. Entered portal. Posted stats on Twitter. Indiana U called. Rest is history.

Since Branham is our only UAA offer, I'll post his last weekend's stats in his own thread rather than the AAU season thread. His team is 7-1 through the first 2 sessions.

From a 3SSB session II recap - Rose continues to solidify himself as one of the most intriguing prospects in the 15U division and realistically projects as a national name in the near future. The versatile lefty brings a rare blend of size, strength, athleticism, feel, and skill to the floor—capable of playing and defending multiple positions with confidence. He’s put up 14.3 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 3.0 APG, and 1.9 BPG, on an ultra-efficient 64.6% (65 attempts) from the field and 47.8% from 3 (23 attempts) through two sessions, emphasizing his well-rounded impact. Rose plays with poise and physicality, stretches the floor with a clean, repeatable stroke, and makes smart reads as a passer. Defensively, he’s alert and disruptive—racking up blocks while switching comfortably across matchups. Already a Swiss Army knife, his ability to contribute across the board while impacting winning makes him a special prospect.

Hermie's on a well-deserved vacation enjoying the finer things in hamster life. He texted me earlier today and commented on how much he enjoyed the full body massage from a pair of scantily clad female hamsters. He told me later tonight he'll be dining on mealworms and fresh vegetables at the new Gordon Ramsay restaurant that just opened on his island paradise. He sends his best to btb and we should rest assured he'll be back in a few weeks.

Moot point. Judge in Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby's lawsuit against NCAA recused himself. Judge Phillip Hays, a Lubbock native with two Tech degrees, didn't give a reason. Replacement to be picked by administrative judge with degrees from A&M and Baylor, but not Tech.
