Conversely, what sense does it make to fire a coach who didn’t have the resources to really win? I don’t understand the institutional logic of a university that can’t raise the funds necessary to really compete, and responds by opting to pay two different coaches…

Here at Overtime Elite Combine, where Bryson Tiller is doing an individual workout to start the day. Improved floor-spacing ability has been a point of emphasis.

Christian Anderson going 8 for 8 to start the star shooting drill. Effortless release.

From this week’s show: What we’ve heard and what we’ve seen first-hand from Tyran Stokes this summer. 📺

Summer highlights of Tre Keith, who committed to BC last night: He was one of the players that really popped when we went back to watch all the film and dig into the numbers from the grassroots season.

Najai Hines is going to be one of college basketball’s breakout big men this year according to Isaac Trotter. He’s also poised to do something in his first year at UConn that neither Donovan Clingan or Tarris Reed did. 📺

Colton Hiller recently turned 16 years old. That makes him a year younger than AJ Williams and closer to two years younger than Yann Kamagate. Here’s more on how the No. 3 ranked prospect in the national class of 2028 could keep climbing.

I’m expecting Davis Fogle to be one of college basketball’s breakout players this year (&amp; play his way onto draft boards in the process). Freshman impact should be scalable to increased role, particularly with the uncertainty of Gonzaga’s roster. 📺

Here’s the moment where Cayden Daughtry’s teammates start chanting MVP about 30 seconds after the final horn sounded. I’d never seen that before.

Flory Bidunga is the No. 29 ranked prospect on the CBS Sports NBA Draft Big Board. This year, that equated to a 2.3 million contract. However, he’s commanding more the twice that in the transfer portal. Here’s more on how he’s set the big man market.

Other bigs with huge stay/go decisions: Aday Mara &amp; Morez Johnson, Michigan Motiejus Krivas, Arizona Patrick Ngongba, Duke Henri Veesaar, UNC Bottom line - Bidunga’s valuation will have ripple effects across the biggest programs in college basketball.

What to know about LSU: 1. Their frontcourt is good &amp; could be great 2. Their backcourt will depend on the courts…because they’re going to court 3. If they win (twice, because there will be an appeal) it will forever change college hoops (again). 📺

If tampering means directly contacting a player in another program before he’s in the portal…almost no one is foolish enough to do it. If it means having constant communication with players’ reps through the year, then virtually everyone is doing it. 📺

There have been a lot of Darryn Peterson takes in the last few days. Most of the uninformed clickbait. Michael Swain has covered Kansas all season and joined the show yesterday to talk about what he’s seen. 📺

Our latest mock is now live on CBS and while I continue to believe our top 8 reflects the best guess of most in the market, there’s has been plenty of movement beyond that following the combine. 📝 📺

Yann Kamagate is up to the No. 2 overall spot in 2028. There are two questions for the coming months: Can he get to No. 1? What class will he end up in? 📺

Now that both Josh Schertz and Bryan Hodgson have essentially/reportedly turned down Syracuse, here’s a look back at what I said about the job on last week’s show. 📺

Antonio Pemberton was the most impactful player on the 3Stripes Select Basketball this summer. Now he’s among the most heavily recruited guards in the country. 📺

Scouting Kevin Savage: ▪️Lefty PG balances scoring/distributing ▪️Wealth of competitive intangibles ▪️Strong with ball, advanced right hand ▪️Vision, good passer off the dribble ▪️Likes his pull-up (high release) 5pm CBS Sports HQ announcement:

What happens to prep school basketball with the NCAA’s new age-based eligibility model? 📺

Everything you need to know about the NCAA’s new age-based eligibility rules. What it means for: Current high school prospects (not good); International prospects (not good); Current college players ($). Roster construction in the 27/28 cycle ⬇️ 📺

From Braylon Mullins’ commitment day: “You can not overemphasize just how deep his range is.”
