So I’m watching some of this College Basketball Crown Tournament being played in Vegas and Cincy & DePaul are going at it and there’s this dipshit squawking like some goddamn bird and the surprising thing is he’s not SEC…

I think this thing is super weird, but starting it the week between the Elite 8 and Final Four is genius.  No competition from March Madness

Except it's basically just Big 12, Big East, Big 10 and some MWC?  (aka, the schools who have Fox contracts)

I need that meme of the cat with the newspaper and glasses and under it says “should have been a college basketball player during the NIL Wild Wild West era”

You're gonna see a lot of this. BYU just paid $3.5m for one of Baylor's players.

Allegedly. Haven't seen this number from a reputable source, yet.  

Big 12 hoops gonna be nasty next season tho.

Reputable sources have claimed that they paid $5 million for AJ Dybantsa so I think I probably believe it

I heard on the radio that Cooper Flagg said that the actual payments aren't anywhere close to what is reported. The hosts speculated it's proably agents inflating numbers for publicity and to drive up payments. With direct compensation coming soon the deals will be public information except for private schools. Not sure if NIL payments from other sources will be public, my guess is probaby not.

I think revenue sharing is probably being rolled into it as well at least for the numbers we're seeing this season

BREAKING: High Point head coach Alan Huss, a Creighton alum, is finalizing a deal to re-join Greg McDermott’s staff immediately as the coach-in-waiting, sources told

@thefieldof68

. McDermott, 60, hasn’t put an exact timeline on his retirement, but sources said that it’ll likely be in the next two seasons. McDermott has won more than 600 games in his career. He took over at Creighton in 2010, and has led the Bluejays to 10 NCAA tournament appearances - including an Elite Eight in 2023. He is 350-171 in his tenure at Creighton and also led the program successfully from the Missouri Valley into the Big East. The plan is for the 46-year-old Huss to leave his head coaching spot at High Point immediately and return to his alma mater to ease the transition once McDermott decides to retire. Huss played at Creighton from 1997-2001 and was an assistant on McDermott’s staff from 2017-2023 before becoming the head coach at High Point. In two seasons in the Big South, he’s gone 56-15 overall and is coming off the school’s first NCAA tournament appearance. The plan allows McDermott to have Huss on staff to ease the transition, allows Huss to be the next head coach at his alma mater and also enables the school to have a plan in place for continuity.

That’s why he told A&M no?

Probably.  It's his alma mater too, so better setup to just take over.

Creighton's a better job than Aggy.

Omaha > College Station.  No football to compete with for resources.  Wealthy alumni that are invested in program.  Averaging like 17-19K in a beautiful newish arena.  Imagine Nebraska football fans with a ton of money and love of hoops.

HCIW is fraught with failures. If I were him I'd continue on the current path of success with an understanding that he's up next at Creighton with McDeromott's blessing. Kelvin is in his 70's and looks as energetic as anyone else, I wouldn't want to speculate how much longer McDermott would coach.

Yes, I was going to type that Creighton is a better job than A&M as basketball is their “football” there and they bring in a lot of money.

What I have heard is that BYU NIL + Nike + Red Bull is around $7M for AJ.

Duke’s Kon Knueppel has declared for the NBA draft. 

image.thumb.jpeg.01638c018f51aa12f2a2847d52fa2fcf.jpeg

Duke freshman Kon Knueppel announced Wednesday on social media that he will enter the 2025 NBA draft and forgo his remaining college eligibility.

Knueppel, the No. 8 prospect in ESPN's NBA draft projections, was Duke's second-leading scorer this season behind Cooper Flagg, averaging 14.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game while shooting 40.6% from 3-point range.

He was named to the ACC All-Freshman team and All-ACC second team and helped lead the Blue Devils to the Final Four, where they lost in the semifinals to Houston.

EDITOR'S PICKS

Knueppel stepped up in a major way in the ACC tournament when Flagg went down early in the quarterfinals with an ankle injury, posting 63 points, 17 rebounds and 14 assists in three games to help Duke win the title, being named tournament MVP.

He played an essential role in Duke's 35-4 season, shouldering significant shot-creation duties while spacing the floor effectively and holding his own defensively. He is an outstanding passer and saw quite a bit of offense operating out of pick-and-roll. He formed a unique tandem with Duke center Khaman Maluach, finding him 24 times this season for lob dunks. Knueppel brings a combination of competitiveness, feel for the game and versatility that will likely make him a seamless fit on any NBA roster.

Hailing from Milwaukee, Knueppel wasn't named to last year's McDonald's All American Game despite leading the Nike EYBL grassroots circuit in scoring for three straight years at the 15U, 16U and 17U levels with Phenom University. He was named Wisconsin Player of the Year as a senior.

His mother, Chari, is still the all-time leading scorer at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, while his father, also named Kon, scored more than 2,000 points at Division III Wisconsin Lutheran College.

The NBA draft combine will be held May 11-18 in Chicago, and the draft will be June 25-26 in New York.

that’s horrible. hope he can somehow make a full recovery. 🙏🏼 

Apparently being the 5 star son of an NBA star, committed to USC, is bad luck

(Bronny's heart issue and now this)

Sounds like he'll be alright then, assuming no permanent lung damage.

I hope- smoke inhalation can cause ARDS, which can call for an induced coma to facilitate healing. 
A complete recovery from ARDS is often difficult to achieve. 
I hope the kid recovers enough to live a fulfilling life. Anything beyond that is a huge bonus.

They are saying it’s protocol for when someone inhales a lot of smoke, which he did in the wreck. 
 

He had no major bodily injuries.

 

i’ve never been in one, but cyber trucks seem more dangerous than motorcycles.

I drive through there every morning. Corbin at 5am is empty, flat and straight

Certainly hope he recovers fully and it doesn't affect his playing career

But crashing into a fire hydrant at 5am?  Sounds like a bonehead

I wouldn't rule out vehicle error but the vehicle in question has its own thread already

He trains at 5am so apparently this happened on his way to training. Glad it seems like he will be ok and hopefully learns to slow down.
