- Howard basketball transfer Dom Campbell has committed to UCF to play football. Campbell is a 6’9”, 268 lbs TE/OT who also spent time playing basketball at Notre Dame. Intriguing add for Scott Frost.
- UTSA has gotten Damari Monsanto (Wake) Primo Spears (FSU) Paul Lewis (Vanderbilt) Jaquan Scott (Miss St) Jesus Carralero (Missouri) Raekwon Horton (JMU) Tai’Reon Joseph (20 ppg Southern) Smurf Millender, Sky Wicks, Jo Smith (mm starters) But I was told they were going 4-30!Wake Forest transfer Damari Monsanto has committed to UTSA and new coach Austin Claunch. Monsanto averaged 13.3 points two years ago for Wake.
- UMBC transfer Marcus Banks Jr. recently visited UMass. Banks averaged 16.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game this season. Made 107 3s on the season (15th in the country) on 41.8%.
- Drake, the team that plays the second LEAST bench minutes in the country, just won AT Bradley with 44 bench points and only 20 from the starters. Tavion Banks had 19, and freshman Isaia Howard showed lots of potential. Big win for the Bulldogs after two straight losses.
- With the u19 FIBA World Cup starting tomorrow in Switzerland, here’s EVERY D1 college player that’ll be playing in it⬇️⬇️
- South Alabama point guard Myles Corey has got to be one of the most fun players in the country to watch. And by the way since he came from the NAIA, he can come back for another year next year.
00:00MYLES COREY WOAH - Miami (FL) is currently 175th in Kenpom, has the 341st ranked defense, and has lost 14 of 15. Meanwhile, Miami (OH) is 145th in Kenpom, winners of 7 straight, all without no seniors playing significant minutes. Travis Steele having by far his best season with the RedHawks.
- Denver transfer Sebastian Akins on his Vanderbilt visit. Akins averaged 12.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and was the Summit freshman of the year. Would give Vanderbilt a high volume shot taker they currently lack. Akins recently also visited St. Joseph’s.
- Cal State Bakersfield transfer Jemel Jones recently visited New Mexico State. Jones is one of the highest volume shot takers in the country, and averaged 18.9 points in 26.8 minutes, in addition to 3.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Had a 45 point game this season.
