VCU guard Nyk Lewis (@nyklewis) had a great freshman season for the Rams & looks poised to make a major leap in his sophomore campaign. Tomorrow at 230pm, he will join me on @SleepersMedia!
I think Lewis is one of the real breakout candidates in the A10 so don't miss it!

Had a lot of fun talking about the Terps with Ethan! He does a great job and asked all the right questions!

Very insightful stuff here
If anyone wants to know the reality of coaching a mid-major in 2026, I would strongly recommend listening to this convo. @UMBC_MBB head coach @CoachJimFerry was super honest about the reality of their situation, how impossible it was to keep an NCAAT team together, & going deep into the summer just to build out a roster. What they're able to do with their NIL budget speaks volumes to their ability to develop players. 🔗👇

Checking out @HUMensBB practice as they prepare for their exhibition game against American tomorrow at 1pm. Their overall size, especially in the front court, really stands out. The game is at 1pm, come out & watch two preseason conference favorites!

I appreciate @HUMensBB head coach @PoopeeBlakeney for coming on @SleepersMedia to preview Howard's season, this year's roster, & what has allowed them to be so successful. I fully expect to see this team in the NCAA Tournament again this year so tune in to find out why! 🔗👇

Great to catch up with @AU_MBasketball senior wing @gregjones47. Jones will be 1 of the most effective 2-way players in the country & was named to the preseason All-Patriot League Team & DPOY. Going into his 4th year at AU, he's a great example of what's right about CBB. 🔗👇

Weird lineup combo you think will actually work
Is AD on the roster all year?

Chris Caputo addressed this with @Liam_0__ and I:
"Everything I was told during that process was that our number was not higher than Memphis' number."
In response to the "hurtful" comment: "I've been recruiting way too long to be hurt by anything that happens in recruiting."

What's impressed me, what's concerned me and what do I still want to see more of after two Terps exhibition wins?
