Time to start things up. Michigan State, Duke, Kentucky, Arizona, and Kansas are the early favorites from what I've seen. UNC not far behind...for now.

I saw the entire Arizona State team at the airport in Rome this morning. Is that a regular thing for teams to do summer trips together?

Teams play in tournaments overseas during the summer.

Yes, the NCAA allows an international trip every few years, i believe.

we are going to italy this year

8/1/2017 4:54:05 PM

yeah, we're going to Italy soon. and went somewhere overseas a few years ago under Gott.

and all players are eligible for that...even transfers who are sitting a year. i think yurt7 is gonna continue to play for his national team instead of going.

as far as national cbb news...whatever happened to that 5* recruit that just up and left WKU with no explanation?

The team left for Italy today and they're playing three games in a few Italian cities.

The guy you're talking about, Mitchell Robinson, was suspended by WKU's coach and yesterday it was announced that he was granted his release from the school. He can transfer and sit out a year if he wants to, but he'll probably be going overseas to play pro ball somewhere before coming back for the NBA Draft

Quote :

"Two people involved in the case, who spoke on the condition they not be identified because of the ongoing legal proceedings, said they expect more college coaches and others involved with grassroots basketball programs to be charged later this month. “This is the tip of the iceberg,” one of them said. One former high-major college coach who retains deep connections in the business said he believes the case will lead to 40 to 50 job openings for head and assistant coaches by the spring."
