He entered the portal after the deadline, right? I assume this will not be an issue, but same boat as Grandison and some others who were late portal entrants.

Tough draw for Michigan in the Omaha region vs. Kansas in the second round. I think we can pull it out though

Emoni to EMU means Memphis gets an up arrow!

B1G order being Indiana, Illinois, Purdue/Michigan, MSU/OSU, Iowa and Rutgers being the last out does seem to make some sense.

Gonna be a lean year if Indiana as a 4-seed is the conferenceā€™s best hope!

UCLA is a 2 seed :joy::eyes::eyes:

UCLA will probably be pretty good. They return Jaquez, Tyger and Jaylen Clark. Plus two incoming five stars and another top 40 kid. Iā€™d think they are probably the Pac 12 favorite given what Arizona lost.

They did Michigan no favors putting them in the same region as Kansas, Duke and Kentucky. Canā€™t believe this is what Michigan will have to go through next March

@buckets12 please explain #17

Somehow Kihei Clark is only 22. I swear heā€™s been at UVA since the Clinton administration.

Some people like Beekman for some reason. I was indifferent on this one, woulda felt better between 21-25 probably.

College basketball is going to be very bad if this is a top 25 backcourt

GG Jackson is about to decommit from UNC, reclass to 22, and flip to South Carolina

How do you feel about that?

I do not like it!

On one hand heā€™s a 4, which is not as bad as a guard doing it, but heā€™s a pretty young 17.

UNC will have a ton of guys leaving after this year so he would have a big time showcase if he stayed in 24. South Carolina is projected as the worst team in the SEC by a mile this year. Ant Edwards balled out on a stankonius UGA team and it didnā€™t hurt his draft stock but he was in his proper HS class.

The list of non-Canadian successful reclassifications is like two names long. Please stop doing it.

I honestly think the first half of the sentence is true. Also willing to admit Virginiaā€™s too high but I donā€™t think thereā€™s many example off the list that deserve mention. Xavier Johnson + Tamar Bates and Caleb Mills + Matthew Cleveland were the top two nominees we didnā€™t include.

Xavier Johnson could beat Clark and Beekman in a game of 1 v 2.

Just another reason why the SEC Network is superior to BTN.

What are the other reasons?

TBH i honestly assumed that it was against rules to televise those or something, Iā€™ve never heard of that before. Interesting, considering Michiganā€™s games are in several different countries I imagine the logistics are more complicated but that would be sick. Iā€™d take any decent footage

Also, Bahamas would be far less costly to support than anywhere in Europe, or frankly anywhere else in the world except Canada
