As I wrote on March 20, 2011, Jeff Schwartz is keyed in at Connecticut. At the time, my money was on Kemba Walker signing with Schwartz. It’s too bad that no one offered to bet against me. Kemba Walker has made it official that he will be leaving Connecticut a year early and has signed […]

My alma mater, the University of Florida, has had a good number of strong basketball players come through campus in the past decade, which is quite an accomplishment for the institution, considering it has never really been known as a basketball powerhouse. Two national championships and an Elite Eight run in 2011 definitely helps build […]
Temple University earned a #7 seed in the 2011 NCAA Tournament and knocked off a weak #10 Penn State basketball team in the round of 64 of the Tourny. Unfortunately for the Temple Owls, they had to match-up against #2 San Diego State University in the next round and lost 71-64. One of Temple’s stars […]
Joey Rodriguez was a big part of Virginia Commonwealth’s deep run in the NCAA Tournament. While my eye was on Jamie Skeen in my VCU Agent Selection Scenarios post, that same post did note than only 2 solid players have come out of VCU in recent years. Larry Sanders selected Happy Walters of Rogue Sports […]
For a guard, Julyan Stone, has major issues shooting free throws (56.1% FT% in his senior season), but the University of Texas El Paso senior has shown progress in almost every other category over his collegiate career. Over-sized for his position, at 6’7, Julyan averaged 7.5 rebounds per game in 2010-11, but he also managed to […]
On April 1, 2011, it was no joke when I posted a Tweet by Marcus Spears of Yahoo! Sports regarding a man named Jason Martin, who was being publicized as a sports agent, having a solid tie to The Morris twins of Kansas Basketball (Marcus and Markieff). The brothers are likely to be selected in […]
Alex Tyus is a very intriguing professional basketball prospect. He really stepped his game up when it mattered most, racking up 19 points and 17 rebounds in the Florida Gators win against BYU in the NCAA Tournament and then 14 points and 10 rebounds in a tough loss to the Butler Bulldogs. Those 19 points […]
Mark Payne played his college basketball for UC Davis in the Big West Conference. The 6’7 195lbs hybrid guard/forward has nice size at the 1 or 2 position, shoots the ball well, but is not great at creating his own shots. He seems to be able to manage the game well at the point, but […]
[blackbirdpie url=”http://twitter.com/#!/SpearsNBAYahoo/status/53867750778617858″] This is interesting news, as Jason Martin is not listed as the agent for any recent Kansas basketball player who went on to play in the NBA. The Morris twins (Marcus and Markieff) are likely to be selected in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft. Tyler Honeycutt, who is leaving UCLA […]
A little over a week ago, I noted that recruiting for the 2011 NBA Draft is heating up. As teams have been getting knocked out of the post-season tournaments, the players who perform for those teams have either declared their intention to enter the NBA Draft or commit to staying at least one more year […]
