Trilly Donovan alluding to a get by Louisville.  Not a portal guy, but they hosted Kentucky decommit and 8th rated 24 recruit Jayden Quaintaince today, 6'9" center.

They got the BYU center who is going to redshirt today

In this current period of everyone looking for older kids, Quaintance is gonna a very interesting case to follow. He may be really physically gifted, but that kid is crazy young. He’ll player his entire freshman year as a 17 year old. When he hits a campus this June he’ll still be 16. I’m not clear on what expectations should be for him.

Does Gard survive this? He doesn’t have the results or seemingly the popularity for this to sit well with UW folks. 

Wisky has $2.5 million in basketball NIL according to Wisconsin boards....that's probably mid P5 territory.  Probably would expect to lose some to the portal but still be able to get some talent in.  But outside of Johny Davis, has he been sending players to the NBA?  Even Davis has not shown much success yet, particularly for a guy drafted tenth.

Chibuzo Agbo, 6'7" Boise State wing, enters.  13.7 ppg, 5.1 rpg.  Excellent volume three point shooter, shot 45/41/72 last year and made 76 of 186 from three.

Toibu Lawal, 6'8" forward, VCU.  Interesting player.  From London, attending his senior year in the states.  Pogo stick player....leaps out of the building.  In VCU's 2023 preseason measurements recorded a 49.5 inch vertical leap.  Lots of highlight blocks and dunks.  Almost all of his points all come in the paint, either on put backs, oops, or attacking the rim.  Averaged 7.7 points and 6 rebounds last year but did so in 19 minutes/game.  Shot 67%.  Did step out and make 3 of 7 threes.  Highlight reel below.  Raw, but great athleticism.

Davis is the only guy he’s had drafted and he’s atrocious. I will never understand what scouts saw in him to end up in the lottery.

This year,  for sure.  Basketball is popular but definitely second to football. Although they have a new AD he's a football guy too. I'm no Gard fan but he does just enough to keep the wolves at bay. I think the old timers smartly remember how bad things were before the 90s.

I lived there through the pre- Alvarez era.

At that time it was hockey first and everything else was a distant second

I think this was a classic “only takes one sucker” thing with the wizards. Not sure anyone else takes him lotto

I posted about him earlier today, but here is a short video of a dunk by Tobui Lawal.  Kid is an absolute freak athlete and has a high motor.  Might be raw but you can’t teach some of things he is capable of doing.  Not necessarily an IU fit but….damn

And what do these previous 6 stops in 6 years have in common? He hasn’t won anywhere. KU deserves what’s coming.

Arizona Compass prep was 29-2, IMG was 21-5 both against good competition.  You don’t go to basketball factory high schools and lose.

Wonder why this one took this long. Dropped a 30 bomb in an early season upset of Northwestern. Watched him have a really good game against Loyola. He’s gonna help somebody.
