Samuel Lance

Hey everyone! My name is Sam Lance, and I am a recent graduate of the University of Kansas Journalism School. Currently I work for Adam Zagoria over at ZAGSBLOG.com and also run The Hum: A KU Hoops Podcast via the Field of 68. I'm excited to be starting on The Daily this year! Especially with me being an absolute basketball junkie. Some of my other past experiences include covering Kansas for 247Sports and as Sports Editor for the University Daily Kansan. I'm excited for what the future may hold.

How high can the Jays fly?

Creighton's got its defensive anchor, great guards and solid role players. And if its overseas addition is eligible, it may be the team to beat the Big East. Plus, college basketball's opening day is now awesome, and Jermaine O'Neal Jr. highlights a busy commitment day.

Rutgers has two of 2024's top freshmen. Is that enough to get the Knights back to the NCAA Tourney and possibly win the Big Ten? Plus, three under-the-radar freshmen to know, Pitt's recruiting splash, and more.
