    Mark Smith transferring to Missouri

    If you mean, he will play in the NBA, I'll gladly take that bet.

    B1G Media Rights / Comcast / Conference Realignment

    Agreed. Cable can have their basic channels, but why couldn't they charge ala carte for sports channels, BTN, SEC networkm etc? Get Dish, or Directv, they carry the major conferences, plus many channels like NBA, MLB, etc.

    Really? Ricky Rubio has improved, but couldn't shoot a lick coming into the NBA. Ben Simmons still can't shoot from distance. Lonzo Ball???

    I personally doubt it, but almost all mock drafts have Jontay going in the first round. Generally in the 17 to 23 range. He's probably in it to stay.

    Actually when Lucas & Frazier were in the game together, probably more often than not, Lucas played point.

    Who will be Nevada's coach next year? Will Mussleman be back? Would that influence Caroline's decision, if he does have an inkling to transfer? Have the Illini shown any interest? Message board speculation does not count. Fact is, no one here knows, & won't know until he makes a public...

    Absolutely nothing. Just more unfounded speculation.

    People here speculate. They have very, very little insight as to who may transfer. Finke was definitely gone most of the 2nd semester by many on this board, "no way Smith transfers". Players who were definitely gone are still here & probably will remain. A couple of players who would remain...

    More trouble for Mizzou

    They could be. Probably won't be hiring Porter Sr. & getting his sons every year. Mike didn't play well in the SEC tourney but that was to be expected given his long lay off. But he's gone after this year anyway. Dontay is showing up in some mock drafts at the bottom of the first round. So...

    I'm not big into rumors until they are confirmed. But I'll throw out some. If Smith &/or Lucas transfer it will be primarily about playing time. Actually, I think Lucas could be the more valuable of the two. I think both see themselves as point guards. Lucas would most likely be 3rd, &...

    Why would you say that? We have a lot of people on this board who THINK they have all the answers. Perhaps, they missed their calling.

    Garza is a horse. He works his tail off. Of course, it helps when you can climb all over the opposing teams back & not get called for foul. Love to have a player like him.
