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…

What to know about LSU: 1. Their frontcourt is good & 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). 📺

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. 📝 📺

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 & 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.

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. 📺

Patrick Ngongba’s return is huge for Duke. Was No. 25 on the CBS Sports Big Board but has plenty of room to keep climbing next year when he should be featured in Duke’s frontcourt.

Darius Acuff measures in at 6-foot-2 without shoes with a 6-foot-7 wingspan. Not nearly as “undersized” as advertised & a plus-5 wingspan helps. 📺

Cameron Boozer declared for the NBA Draft on Friday. I’m going to keep saying it - he should be getting more consideration as a top 2 pick. Most successful career in modern high school basketball history, college basketball’s player of the year, & highest floor in the draft.

Lot of talk about the state of college basketball this week in Indy. You know who’s not complaining? Dusty May. He’s thriving in this new era, where you can virtually flip your roster from one year to another.

Highlights of Boston College pledge Zak Smrekar, who was named to the all-star five at the FIBA u19 World Cup. Big wing with legit guard skills. As good an incoming freshmen as BC has had in a long time. Full evaluation:

Caleb Love is one of the best NBA rookie stories. Not sure many people thought he was still an NBA player when his college career ended, but he’s made an impact for the Blazers, including 20 last night. Mentioned him in the exceeding expectations piece:
