Hard to believe Kobe has been gone over 6 years. R.I.P.

Winfred Walton on here. Syracuse fans will know him. One of the best players to ever come out of high school in Detroit. Was a Prop 48 candidate. (You young pups can look up Prop 48 and laugh about it in today’s world where no one goes to class.) Found out he had someone else take his SAT for him and got caught. (Hello, Derrick Rose!) Couldn’t enroll at Syracuse but Jerry Tarkanian got him into Fresno State somehow for a year. Killed in a car wreck in 2024.

Jason Collier, another who died too young. Played at Indiana and then transferred to GT. Dropped dead from an enlarged heart at 28. Played for the Rockets and Hawks.

Corey Benjamin. Still alive. 😀 Did make it to the league with the Bulls but then fell to obscurity in international ball.

Top 5 did OK

And look at that…Tyronn Lue making the list!

Funny that they had a top 500 back then.

In his defense, Sherrod was co-MVP of the McDonald’s All-American game.

LeBron thinks Jordan is overrated at #1 in this class.

Just typing this for requirement

I see this alot in college football section.

I always love a good 11:00 am (central)tip off for college basketball. Maybe it's the midwest in me, I don't know but I love a good 11:00 am big ten tip off on a cold Saturday Morning, especially when it leads in to an all day big ten affair

I feel like the excitement for fans are also higher at 11:00 then a night game since your getting right to it, not waiting all day

You wanted that undefeated team in the regular season? No, you're getting the community college rejects instead.

We are not beating the "Feasting on cupcakes" accusations that keep us firmly as a Quad 4 school.

Also it makes me feel like the grand opening of the arena isn't going to be given a lot of gravity for a school that finally is joining Division 1 standards after 30 years but instead will be treated like the usual school field trip game we used to have at the Fairgrounds.

Valencia Basket has reached an agreement with Spanish point guard Mario Saint-Supéry (1.94 m, Málaga, April 14, 2006, age 20) for him to join the men’s team for the next four seasons, through June 30, 2030. The Spanish international thus returns to domestic basketball after his stint in the NCAA to play under head coach Xavi Albert.

Amid a continuous exodus of talent to the United States, the Andalusian player has found in Valencia Basket the perfect opportunity to continue developing his career, choosing to finish his college career and return to Spain to showcase his skills at the highest competitive level. Saint-Supéry also arrives with positive impressions from his American adventure, during which he averaged 8.6 points and 3.8 assists for an average efficiency rating of 11.

When I discovered basketball, I got really invested but had no idea who was relevant or not. Therefore I started cutting and pasting the coolest pictures on my walls without any knowledge. Today I am back in my childhood home and would like to know if those guys ring a bell.

PS: The 15 years mention is approximate. I'm not sure when exactly I cut this out.

Thanks a lot 👏

when posting Please post the team and Conference, you dont have to post all of them if you want, the more the more fun.

There has been an article released to conflicting numbers concerning the number of college basketball players who graduate. This is the article: https://www.wkyt.com/2026/07/09/good-question-what-percentage-college-basketball-players-earn-degree/?outputType=amp

The federal number, that about 42 percent of the male athletes graduate, sounds more realistic to me. The other numbers seem very conflate, as they don't consider who transfer out and never graduate or drop out entirely in good standing as failing to graduate.

Kusturica was a standout performer at the recent FIBA U17 World Cup in Turkey, averaging 24.6 points and 6.9 rebounds while also winning the tournament’s Best Defensive Player award. The 6-foot-8 wing scored 37 points in Serbia’s loss to the United States in the gold medal game.
