NEWS: Dayton transfer Koby Brea, the best shooter in college basketball, has committed to Kentucky, he told ESPN.

'God put me in a position to play for my dream school in my last year of college.'

Major late addition to the portal. Cam Christie earned Big Ten All-Freshman Team honors after averaging 11.3 points and shooting 39.1% from 3. 6-foot-6 guard is a projected NBA draft pick.

Texas Tech lands Minnesota transfer Elijah Hawkins, who should bode well in Grant McCasland's system.

Hawkins — who finds himself as a late second-round pick in most NBA mock drafts — fits the NBA mold with a stretch-four prototype.

Yet, now that he is in the portal, he immediately becomes one of the best players available and will surely garner some serious NIL $.

Always liked how Mike Boynton was willing to travel to non-power schools in non-con. SIU, Oakland, Oral Roberts, UT-Arlington, Charleston and Charlotte were all schools Oklahoma State traveled to.

Steve Lutz will continue this trend. Love it.

Really like how the pieces are coming together in Lexington:

- Brandon Garrison (7.5 PPG, 5.3 RPG)
- Amari Williams (12.2 PPG, 7.8 RPG)
- Otega Oweh (11.4 PPG, 3.8 RPG)
- Andrew Carr (13.5 PPG, 6.8 RPG)
- Lamont Butler Jr. (9.3 PPG, 3.0 APG)

More scholarships left to fill.

Four enormous names who are not on this list as early entrants for the 2024 NBA Draft.

- Florida star Walter Clayton Jr.
- Wake Forest stud Hunter Sallis
- Kentucky transfer DJ Wagner
- North Carolina's RJ Davis

#BadgerMBB gets their second commitment via the portal from Northern Illinois transfer Xavier Amos.

Amos averaged 13.8 PPG, 5.8 RPG last season.

He adds much-needed versatility at the forward spot, filling the PF role as a stretch four. Shot 57% from 2, 38.5% from 3.

An updated look at Arkansas' roster, who get a big-time boost in their frontcourt from Aidoo.

- Jonas Aidoo (11.4 PPG, 7.3 RPG)
- Zvonimir Ivisic (5.5 PPG, 3.3 RPG)
- Karter Knox (Four-star SF)
- Boogie Fland (Four-star CG)
- Billy Richmond (Four-star SF)

More to come...

Major, major pickup for Bobby Hurley — a day after landing Milwaukee transfer BJ Freeman.

Navigating the fit between Goldin and Danny Wolf will be a huge story in Year 1 for Dusty, but having two centers with such different and useful skill sets is a nice problem to have.

Wolverines could use some more true scoring pop in the backcourt, but rebuild has gone well.

Wisconsin lands PG Camren Hunter from Central Arkansas.

Hunter averaged 16.9 PPG, 5.0 RPG and 3.7 APG in 2022-23 in a high-volume role offensively. Hunter did not play last season due to a foot injury.

#BadgerMBB gets their point guard.

With stars like Zach Edey and Terrence Shannon gone, which teams will emerge as the new faces in the Big Ten?

Tristan Freeman presents his WTE power rankings for the league, including the 4 newcomers from out west.

There have been plenty of coaching hires this offseason, including in the mid-major ranks. Cole Amundson gives his top-10 overall hires outside of the power conference ranks.

Great to see Howard get back on his feet quickly.

Howard was an assistant with the Heat from 2013-2019 and is no stranger to the ropes of the NBA.

Always felt he could carve out a solid head coaching career in the NBA, too — this is an ideal start.

Hunter Dickinson is coming back to Kansas.

And just like that, it’s hard to make an argument against the Jayhawks for being the No. 1 team in the country come November.

Bill Self at it once again.

🚨BREAKING🚨

Michigan State guard AJ Hoggard has gone portaling, source told The Field of 68.

Rylan Griffen — one of the better shooters in the portal — is off to Kansas, adding much-needed perimeter shooting for the Jayhawks.

AJ Storr, Zeke Mayo, Riley Kugel and now Rylan Griffin? Don’t think depth will be much of an issue in 2024-25.
