Two of my brothers joined the Air Force out of high school, then played college ball after they got out--one at SIUE and the other JUCO. I think there's an exception for like Mormon missions, maybe there's another for military. And what about incarceration? I assume Michigan State keeps an...

Fagbemi dividend?

He's an old soul. Which is probably a pretty apt metaphor for him.

I live in Cape Girardeau, so I'll try to catch a couple SEMO games and give y'all a scouting report.

A couple of irrelevant, nit-picky corrections: Not every team qualifies for conference tournaments. The OVC and MAC, for example, only let the top eight teams in the tourney. Miami lost to U Mass, not Akron, in the first round of the conference tournament.

I don't think the notion that quality players won't accept limited minutes is accurate. Mid-major stars triple their NIL (or more) being a role player at a P4 school. SIU's two best players last year moved up to high majors for a much bigger bag and reduced roles. Ali Dibba averaged 15...

247 has a crystal ball for Scharnowski to Duke. His FT % is 43! But his form isn't bad actually. Still, hack-a-schar when he's in there. Miami Univ.'s Byers and Elmer in the Big 10 now--Penn State and Wisconsin, respectively. Both can shoot the 3 well, but Byers seem soft and Elmer tends to...

Potential role players from mid-majors in the portal that I've watched a lot of: Rolyns Aligbe, 6'9" PF, Soph, SIU. Strong rebounder, shot 35% from 3 at low volume, 66% from the FT line, started at center for the Salukis. Could steal you 4-5 minutes a half to rest Mirk, but wouldn't be...

Total domination! Redd outscores Reed! Michigan-Arizona game dubbed "The Who Gets to Finish Second? Bowl"!
