I thought Saunders, Jr. was going to be much better across his career. To me, all this flight year over year, probably hurts some players that don't stick with a system. His FR year, I think, may have been his best?

I won't say too much, but I have had talks with Saunders. All he talked about was what he was going to get in the NIL. That was when it was basically endorsements, but you could see he thought he should be highly paid. Enough said.

“Clemson's Viktor Lakhin - ESPN's No. 60 prospect - has a torn tendon in his left foot that will sideline him for 3 months, agent Eric Fleisher told ESPN.

The 6'11 Russian big man had a standout performance at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament in Virginia last month.”

Jarrett Hensley scored 7 points in the opening 3 minutes and was the Salukis best defender in their first round MVC tourney win over Indiana St. Hensley had a solid senior season, averaging 11 and 6.

Mason Madsen has been chronicling his journey as a D1 basketball player on Youtube for the past year-and-a-half. I enjoyed his recent video detailing the lead-up and postgame of the recent UC game in Utah.
