So UNLV hired Marvin Menzies of New Mexico State fame...

Even the probation days must seem like the glory years.

In Duke news, Amile Jefferson has officially been granted a hardship waiver and will return to the team for a final season.

Jefferson will serve an already talent-laden Duke squad with additional front-court depth and invaluable veteran leadership. With returning scoring leader and early NPOTY favorite Grayson Allen back, as well as third-leading scorer Luke Kennard and the country's second-best recruiting class, the Blue Devils will likely start the season atop the polls.

If Marques Bolden signs, this could be Duke's best team in more than a decade.

Agreed, unless Meeks simply decides he wants to play in Europe. I don't think he has a future in the NBA, but hopefully I'm wrong.

Ivan Rabb staying at Cal. Kind of surprising.

Meeks is back. Not a surprise at all. On top of just not being a top prospect, i'm pretty sure he just joined one of the most prestigious frats at UNC. Can't really see him leaving after doing that.

Good news. Get Jackson back, and Carolina could be really good again.

That's awesome!

Berry/Britt/White
Pinson/Williams/Woods
Jackson/Robinson
Hicks/Maye
Meeks/Bradley

Should be a solid team that, by the end of the year, could be really good. Might see a lot of small lineups though with the lack of depth in the post.

Marques Bolden is going to Duke. Just an insane class for Coach K.

They're completely loaded. Unfortunately, they're going to be the most talented team in the country next season.

PG - Jackson
SG - Allen/Kennard
SF - Tatum/Jones
PF - Giles/Jefferson/DeLaurier
C - Bolden/Jeter

Jack White (SF), Vrankovic (C), Obi (PF), Robinson (PF - Walk-On) will never see the floor, I would assume. I would also guess that Allen will handle the ball a lot since there's no true back-up PG.

I basically hate everything I just typed.

OSU vs Louisville could be interesting since Lyle testified against Louisville

So CBS was wrong with their confirmed ACC/B1G schedule.

OSU is at Virginia.

Not sure about the rest now.

UK getting Briscoe back is pretty big. He will be a huge asset on a young, but talented team.

Malik Newman never went to class at Mississippi State because he thought he would be OAD. Now, he's withdrawing from the draft and likely going to a JUCO to play for a year.

Just another LOL at an elite prospect who opts not to go to a big school, fades into obscurity and makes awful decisions.

I wasn't happy to hear Marcus Lee is transferring. Not necessarily a huge loss outside of his experience, but he is just a good kid. It's nice to have guys like that on a team.
