Transferring to Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, MI. Hillsdale is a member of the Great Lakes Athletic Conference. Somewhat surprised he didn't transfer to another D1 school, but with this transfer he won't have to sit out a year. http://www.hillsdalechargers.com/sports/mbkb/2015-16/roster

And the already rich just get richer in women's bball: Azura Stevens, an All-ACC first-team selection for Duke last season, will join the four-time defending champion Connecticut Huskies as a transfer, the school announced Saturday. Stevens, a 6-foot-6 sophomore center, averaged a team-high 18.9 points and 9.6 rebounds last season for the Blue Devils. She will have to sit out the 2016-17 season due to NCAA transfer rules, but will have two seasons of eligibility remaining. "We don't usually get involved in transfer situations but this particular one was intriguing," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said in a statement. "Getting the chance to speak with Azura and having her on campus to meet with the coaches and the players really convinced us and her that this was the right place for her going forward. "We are excited and anxious to get Azurá up here and start summer school and look forward to her being a part of our team." Overall, Stevens averaged 16.2 points and 8.8 rebounds in 58 games over two seasons at Duke.

Less than 2 min. ago that I posted the above list and Rabjohns now reporting that Troy has been invited.

Per Jeff Goodman: So far, here are some alternates for the NBA combine: Yogi Ferrell, Marcus Lee, Jaron Blossongame, Ty Wallace, Malik Pope. Most recent list I've seen for 46 names who are invites and Troy's not on the list.

Last list I saw with 46 names courtesy of Chip Miller. Probably the list Wayne had problems linking. No Troy.

Berkmar High School, Lilburn, GA

Some shirt shack in Durham's area created this shirt for him.

Saturday night is the Ball Is Life All-American game. Do we know if De'Ron will be able to play? There is supposed to be a live feed for this game that will be posted tomorrow.

Maybe yes, maybe no; I have no idea. That's why I was very careful to cite where it came from and regardless if it's fake or not it is absolutely hilarious.

From Eric Bossi, this is a purported statement from Tunsil's agent. LOL

So maybe the odds aren't as long as I thought they might be?

Kansas has offered along with Arizona, Missouri, Florida State and others; visits Alabama on Friday; Georgetown recruiting him as well.

This is the game ccg referenced above. If he doesn't play in this game, his wrist situation might be a little more serious than expected.

Lindsey Corsaro, a 2016 Burger Girl from Indpls., has decommitted from KY. Wonder if we'll make a push? Must be quite a cesspool currently in the KY women's program. From the Indpls. Star: Recruits add to UK women's defections LEXINGTON, Ky. – The end of the 2015-16 women’s basketball season has not ended a rash of recent defections from the program. McDonald’s All-American Lindsey Corsaro, a 2016 five-star guard, is the latest departure from the program despite already signing her National Letter of Intent with UK in November. A UK spokesman confirmed UK will release Corsaro from her letter of intent but plans to continue to recruit her and remains a possible destination for the Indianapolis native. “It’s a tough situation for us,” Corsaro’s father, Greg Corsaro, told the Indianapolis Star. “Kentucky has had some uncertainty the last couple months with some coaches and players and Lindsey felt like she should reconsider her options. She’s not ruling out Kentucky.” ESPN reported Monday 2017 four-star post player Madison Treece had also decided to reopen her recruitment after initially committing to UK. The recruits’ decisions came after freshman forward Batouly Camara decided to transfer, becoming the sixth player to leave the program since the beginning of the fall semester. Camara averaged 5.1 points and 4.3 rebounds per game while starting 14 of her 33 appearances as a freshman. She was ranked as the No. 9 recruit in the country out of Blair Academy in New York. "After heartfelt discussions with my family, friends and other trusted people in my life -- along with much prayer -- I have decided that remaining at the University of Kentucky is not in my best interest," Camara wrote in a message posted on Twitter Tuesday."My current focus is on finishing the semester in a strong fashion and on doing well on my final exams. Upon my departure from Lexington and return back home to NYC, my family and I will begin identifying where to finish my college career. "I want to thank my teammates and friends at UK, as well as those staff members that have supported me throughout this challenging year. I also want to thank our fans out there in BBN for your great support of me and our team this season." UK head coach Matthew Mitchell has seen his roster depth evaporate since dismissing Oregon transfer Chrishae Rowe from the team in mid-October. Rowe’s dismissal was quickly followed by transfers from starting guard Linnae Harper, freshman guard Morgan Rich and junior reserve forward Kyvin Goodin-Rogers. Little-used senior forward Ivana Jakubcova announced after the season she would player her final season of basketball elsewhere as a graduate transfer. After Goodin-Rogers departure, Mitchell attributed the defections to individual decisions. “When you have four situations in a short period of time, it certainly looks like it’s connected,” Mitchell said in December. “And it’s hard for people, if they’re not in it and don’t know each individual, they’re four individual situations. So one’s a dismissal. So a player chose not to live up to the standards of the program, so I had to make that decision. The other three are all separate individual decisions that you need to talk to those individuals.”

Interesting tweet. Steve Risley ‏@srisley34 8h8 hours ago Fishers, IN Interesting about Blackmon and NBA. Great talent for IU but great chemistry? If he stays which championship is he playing for? NBA or NCAA
