There is a hearing today in the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas case in which former Calhoun players MJ Collins and Kolby King are seeking another year of eligibility (to play at UC), among others.

Calhoun has been brought into the fray. An assistant AG in Ohio filed a motion to quash a subpoena, which the plaintiffs' attorney attempted to serve on him (a non-party) yesterday to appear for testimony today.

The Complaint filed back on June 24 mentions "Collins intends to play in the 2026-26 season at the University of Cincinnati...should he receive relief from this Court." The same language was used for King. Another plaintiff in the matter is former Bearcat Josh Reed.

What a year for Baba Miller. Drafted into the NBA and more importantly; he received his college degree. I am so happy for that young man. I sincerely hope that he goes on to have a long and fruitful NBA career. Good luck to Baba Miller.

By the way, his given name is Papa Ababacar Bartolome Miller.

That motion was denied... Calhoun testified https://www.cincinnati.com/story/spo...i/90775680007/

Adding a player like Collins, he said, would make UC "a better team and a better locker room."

Calhoun also was asked about how much money was budgeted for players, but an attorney for the university objected to the question, and he didn't have to answer it.

Collins and Borovicanin also testified at the July 1 hearing.

Another former Utah State player, Kolby King, also is a plaintiff in the lawsuit and hopes to play for UC in the upcoming season. King did not make himself available through the NCAA's transfer portal, and it's unclear if UC would face sanctions if he were deemed eligible and then transferred.
