The only player recognized with an IU offer who is still uncommitted is '23 Reed Sheppard named Underclassman POY and named to The Circuit 2nd Team. The 2021 grassroots basketball season has come to a close, and our team at The Circuit has put together our inaugural 17U All-Circuit teams.

Although he had received an IU offer from Archie, nothing at all suggests Woody and staff are interested in him. So FWIW..... https://www.prospectiveinsight.com/post/dra-gibbs-lawhorn

Sounds like there wasn't just smoke at PUke with Sharon Versyp and the allegations made against her. She announced her immediate retirement today and Katie Geralds who was previously announced as her successor in waiting is now head coach.

Seen a report we'll be at Bloomington North tomorrow for J. Q. Roberts.

Full details of the coaching change. Interesting point is that the two non-coaching staff members positions had to have existed as of Aug. 1, 2021. Probably lots of backdating of job descriptions taking place today. https://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/general-di-council-approves-modernization-track

Free agent forward Noah Vonleh is expected to sign with the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association, sources tell Emiliano Carchia of Sportando. Vonleh, 26, was the ninth overall pick in the 2014 draft. Since entering the NBA, he has appeared in a total of 339 regular season games for Charlotte, Portland, Chicago, New York, Minnesota, Denver, and Brooklyn. However, the 6’10” forward hasn’t been a regular rotation player for an NBA club since the 2018/19 season, when he averaged 8.4 PPG and 7.8 RPG in 68 games (25.3 MPG) for the Knicks. Vonleh was out of the NBA for most of 2020/21, having spent just a couple weeks in February with the Nets before being waived. He appeared in four games for Brooklyn. For much of the offseason, the Chinese Basketball Association hadn’t permitted its teams to add foreign players due to coronavirus-related concerns. However, now that the league has opted to play its 2021/22 season in a bubble, foreign players will be allowed in the CBA. Shanghai hasn’t wasted any time in taking advantage of the rule changes, having already agreed to a deal with ex-NBA wing Jamaal Franklin. Carchia reports that the Sharks are also expected to bring back former NBA lottery pick Jimmer Fredette, who has spent most of the last five seasons in Shanghai.

From Jon Rothstein Sources: The NCAA has approved that starting on 9/20, two non-coaching staff members in men's and women's basketball can engage in on-court practice activity during the 21-22 season. No more than four coaches and non-coaching staff members combined, may give instruction.
