Rothstein says we're one of many high major programs to reach out to North Florida senior wing Chaz Lanier, one of the best shooters in the portal.

Travis Branham (247) says Chaz is visiting BYU this weekend then will visit Kentucky

[Lobot]

Noah Waterman of BYU (9.5 ppg) is in the portal -- I believe this is possible due to the recent coaching change

Chad Brendel mentioned that it's very unlikely that the staff will add any other transfers. There are some teams that are willing to use NIL in lieu of a scholarship to circumvent the 13-scholly limit. Miller & Co. will concentrate on getting ready for workouts, as well as continue to hit the AAU circuit to see HS talent.

And Chaz Lanier commits to Tennessee

This is both funny and sad. I've seen plenty of fake player profiles on the football side but this might be a first for basketball for me.

Somebody has created an entire Twitter profile for himself under the name "Eric James" that's based on his recruiting offers in the 2K basketball video game. He has a Youtube channel and everything. If you're just surfing though it looks like he has an offer from UC but if you look at the rest of his posts, he gave himself away by reclassifying to '24 (We're full), posting all of his offers with the same 8 hour timestamp and retweeting a post from the The Misfits.

Where would he play? He's a SF. Dan Skillings, Tyler Betsey, Josh Reed, and Rayvon Griffith already man that position, as can Simas Lukosius.

That said, yesterday a USA Today sports writer listed 5 schools for Watkins (MI, St. John's, Nova, TX & KSU).

Watkins declared for the draft and pulled his name out. Great player but where do you put him unless the scholarship limit is officially gone? If if it's not gone and someone is leaving, who is it?

Mike Sharavjamts of San Francisco (3 points in 25 minutes in the NIT game) is headed to new Big 12 foe Utah. The 6'9 Mongolian averaged 7.7 ppg this year for USF after a year at Dayton. Seems like he was a highly regarded international prospect who has put up decent numbers but not exactly looking like an NBA prospect.
