The following article is a guest contribution by Benjamin Haynes, Esq. Haynes is a former Division 1 Basketball Player at Oral Roberts University and currently practices law in the State of Florida.

That is why it should not be a surprise that the long-time successful basketball agent has become the agent of record for former Georgetown forward Otto Porter. Porter was a consensus first team All-American and earned Big Easy Player of the Year in 2013. Among his current […]

The sophomore point guard from Syracuse is listed somewhere between 6’5 and 6’6, which gives him a good amount of length and height for his position. But […]
Florida Gators forward Erik Murphy just finished up his senior season in Gainesville, Florida. He had a very solid and consistent collegiate career, although it is certain that he hopes scouts forget about his horrid game against Michigan in the 2013 NCAA Tournament. In that game, he took a total of 11 shots in that […]
Basketball players who have declared for the 2013 NBA Draft have until tomorrow to withdraw their names and return to their respective schools should they determine that it is not yet the right time for them to join the professional ranks. Complying with the NCAA Early Entry Withdrawal Deadline will be enough for those aforementioned […]
