The Kentucky Wildcats coaching staff has been very open as to how they’ll fill out the roster this offseason, whether it be high school recruits, college transfers, or even international prospects. The Wildcats have had their eye on 7-foot-3 center Luigi Suigo from the Serbian League, but it’s unlikely the Mega Superbet big man ends up in Lexington, as he …

Arizona men’s basketball has landed another big man out of the NCAA transfer portal. Idaho State transfer Evan Otten, a 6-foot-11, 240 lb. center with two remaining years of eligibility, has signed with Arizona, the program announced Friday evening.

AJ Dybantsa garnered plenty of attention during his lone college campaign at BYU, and it’s only intensified in the days since the NBA draft lottery. All eyes are on the potential No. 1 overall pick. Every word Dybantsa says is being carefully dissected; every facial expression he makes brings widespread interpretation. Some think he’s content to land in Washington, while …

A former Abilene Christian men’s basketball player was permanently banned by the NCAA on Friday for allegedly helping rig basketball games for sports bettors. According to the NCAA’s Division I Committee on Infractions, Airion Simmons — who played at Abilene Christian from 2019-2024— colluded with a teammate and agreed with a bettor to throw a March 2024 game for money. …

Otega Oweh used up his final year of college eligibility when he returned to Kentucky in hopes of continuing to boost his draft stock. While the year as a whole didn’t go totally as he wanted, there were still plenty of 20-point games and moments where Oweh took over, which is when he’s at his best. Now, he’s at the …

One of the few critiques you could make about Virginia basketball last season was that they did not have to play a tough non-conference schedule, and that was why the Cavaliers were held back in the rankings for much of the season. They were able to go on the road and beat Texas, as well as winning a neutral site …

Kentucky has its clear top priority in Iowa State transfer Milan Momcilovic, who is currently testing the NBA Draft process and looking to boost his stock. But two others in particular have been on Kentucky’s radar for weeks now, but there never has been any serious buzz between the Wildcats and either of them. Now, with information coming out from …

Kentucky is clearly making Milan Momcilovic their top priority as they look to fill out the final pieces of the roster. But, it’s going to be easier said than done with Momcilovic having his name in the NBA Draft. It’s a big week for him as he continues to go through the draft process with a number of workouts and …

UCLA basketball endured a disappointing season last year. The Bruins entered the year ranked 12th in the country but were inconsistent throughout, as several transfer portal additions failed to meet expectations. One of the more notable underperformers was Donovan Dent, who had been counted on as a primary scoring option but never found his footing in the Big Ten. By …

When people talk about the Big Ten becoming a “super conference,” most of the attention goes to football. Everyone talks about Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon, or the massive TV deals. But honestly, one of the biggest reasons the conference feels so powerful now is because of UCLA. And no, not just because of football. Many fans thought UCLA’s joining the …

UCLA’s Tyler Bilodeau is one of 73 players taking part in the NBA Draft Combine in hopes of showing the scouts their worth ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft.

Kentucky’s biggest target for the upcoming season is continuing to give his thoughts on the schools involved and things that will factor into his decision. Louisville, St. John’s and the Wildcats are all in contention to land his services, someone who will boost the floor and ceiling of any team he ends up with. On Friday, The Lexington Herald Leader …

The Kentucky Wildcats continue to seek roster improvements through the transfer portal. Mark Pope and his staff have already landed five commitments.

The Wildcats continue to weigh their options, with former Iowa …

Texas men’s basketball coach Sean Miller has landed another Lithuanian. Guard Mantas Laurencikas has committed to the Longhorns.

Laurencikas has played for his native country in FIBA competition for the past four …

North Carolina big man Henri Veesaar is one of the better bigs available in the 2026 NBA Draft class, and he might make sense for a certain NBA playoff team. Veesaar broke out into a full-fledged star with the Tar Heels last year. After seeing time mostly as a reserve with the Arizona Wildcats over the first few seasons of …

Duke basketball freshman phenom Cameron Boozer is widely regarded as one of the top-three 2026 NBA Draft prospects following one of the most productive freshman seasons in recent college basketball memory.

Head coach Jon Scheyer and his staff reloaded …

Advertisement For coach John Calipari’s program, developments such as Abdou Toure’s rise to …

For about the last decade plus (maybe even two decades) of Purdue basketball our opponents, and I’ll go ahead and say it our haters, have had a constant refrain, “just wait till (insert name here) is gone” and then Purdue would fall back to Earth. The haters said this about the Baby Boilers, and yes Purdue did fall off a …

It’s only mid-May, but two things appear to be true about West Virginia basketball’s 2026-27 campaign: they have a higher ceiling, and they are going to be tested early. Yesterday, a report surfaced that the Mountaineers are finalizing a deal to play North Carolina in the Dick Vitale Invitational on November 27th in Charlotte, NC. Advertisement This adds to what …

Despite a disappointing season, the Kentucky Wildcats have a few players hoping to hear their names called at the NBA draft this year.
