Playing with pros
From Asia Cup to next week's EuroBasket, a handful of college players thrived in summer tournaments. Plus: grading Wisconsin's offseason movies, Xavier loses key player to an injury, A nice tribute from a Kentucky freshman, MAC and MAAC slates, and rivalries that we'd like to see emerge.
Hard luck Hoyas
Georgetown loses at GLOBL JAM, but defense may be a good sign for the upcoming season. Plus: Oregon adds frontcourt depth, Bryce James on his Arizona expectations, Mark Pope advocates for 40-game regular season and could bombshells be coming for college basketball gambling charges?
Head of the class?
Baba Oladotun will re-classify to the class of 2026. Where might he land and how does he fit among the class's top players? Plus: MTE schedules to know, SMU lands a notable '26 commit, Memphis' yet-unfinished roster and is Nate Ament the top player in the class of 2025?
Man in the middle
How does Creighton replace the defense Ryan Kalkbrenner provided? It'll be a system move. Plus: a load of 2026 commits made announcements, bemoaning ACC teams and their non-conference schedules, Colorado's exhibition setback, and a story about ticket prices that's gone viral.
International appeal
A handful of future (and current) college hoops players have stood out at EuroBasket. We highlight Thursday's notable performances. Plus: The latest from Peach Jam, Georgetown's August trip, a potential executive order that would impact college hoops, Fran McCaffery on his Penn return and five teams that could break NCAA tourney droughts.
No schedule savvy
Are Big East programs like Xavier, Georgetown and Butler making a mistake with a lack of Quad 1 games during their non-conference slate? Plus: five players ready for a big return in 2025-26, teams in new conferences likely to thrive, a Zags-UCLA date and some NCAA tourney (non) news.
