It seems as though every few days information is leaked regarding a draft-eligible University of Kentucky player linking up with an agent. First, it was Leon Rose of Creative Artists Agency signing Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. That was followed with word that Terrance Jones will sign with Arn Tellem of Wasserman Media Group. The latest available information is that Kentucky point guard Marquis […]
I figured that Leon Rose of Creative Artists Agency (CAA) was good for at least one of Kentucky’s talented underclassmen headed for the NBA. And I have heard from multiple sources that Rose has signed Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who just finished an outstanding freshman season. Kidd-Gilchrist is a sure lottery pick along with Kentucky’s Anthony Davis, who is said to […]
Early last month, I reported that Syracuse University senior guard Scoop Jardine signed with NBPA certified agent Terrance Doyle of Veritas Venture Group, LLC (VVG).

Roughly three years ago, Michael Goldman (who contributes to this site on occasion), wrote an article titled, The Curious Case of Renardo Sidney. Goldman discussed the roadblocks that prevented a player who was once ranked the seventh best player in the country from playing at UCLA or USC (two schools who were at one time very […]
Austin Walton of Walton Sports Management Group (WSMG) has signed Oakland Senior point guard Reggie Hamilton. Hamilton led all of Division 1 in scoring in 2011/12, which is something no Summit League player had ever accomplished before. He averaged 26.2 points per game and shot 42% from three-point range. DraftExpress.com currently ranks him as the 46th best […]
St. John’s Freshman Moe Harkless will not return to the Red Storm, and will instead test his luck in the 2012 NBA Draft. He will have Happy Walters and the rest of the team at Rogue Sports to guide him along the way. A member of the Rogue Sports team tells me that the company is extremely impressed […]
Not too long ago, it appeared that Alabama Junior forward Tony Mitchell was not sure whether he was going to attempt to transfer to another school and play out his upcoming Senior season or declare for the 2012 NBA Draft.
