Donovan Dent has…

*checks notes*

… uh… retired… from basketball.

I mean he could’ve made a ton of money overseas. Basketball is a global sport; there’s really no reason to quit if you don’t make the NBA (unless you have no professional-caliber potential).

The original article which makes it clear he wants to be a youth trainer and the NIL money he got last year is helping him get started. Good for him for having something he is passionate about.

Torvik has them 34 in his preseason model. Pretty far below Kentucky fan expectations.

Plenty of investing buzzwords there to make it sound good. Wonder how these sorts of contracts interact with the conference. Is this just another non-conference scheduling move? The idea that anything of this nature can last into the 2030s seems dicey, given how fast the sport is changing, but who knows. With top brands and a good media partner, no reason it couldn't.

There’s no way the NCAA lets RJ Luis play…right???
If RJ Luis plays really well for LSU, could an NBA team pluck him from the roster in the middle of the season since he would not be subject to being draft eligible for a second time?

makes it illegal for coaches to leave their teams before the season concludes and schools cannot hire coaches before a season concludes — something those on Capitol Hill refer to the “Lane Kiffin Rule,”

LOL@ Lane Kiffin!
