It appears we've gotten some sort of an answer with them adding Babacar Sane.

They may have the oldest team in the league next year. Bunch of guys with years of pro experience coming in.

Well, we may have just lost the "oldest team in the league" title....we just signed a high school player!.....

Lol. I read he sees himself as being another Zuby playing under Pitino. If he can be even 75% as good as Zuby was by the end of his time there, this is a great pickup

I hope so Nameless! And apparently, he signed a 2-year deal so shouldn't have to worry about him transferring after his freshman year....

I think as we saw with Mensah on the football side those 2 year deals don't mean squat unfortunately. Although, Pitino seems to keep the guys he wants (as does Hurley) so if he's a good player I expect him to be around

Agreed. The only thing that gives me hope is that he is (as of now) wanting to follow the Zuby model and grow under Rick's tutelage.....here's hoping!

I think that same kind of thinking would be wise for a lot of youngsters. Too many are turning pro too soon. In the old days, kids couldn’t afford to leave money on the table and risk never getting it due to injury or other unforeseen circumstances. But now that they are getting paid to play in college, there’s really no reason to leave too soon before they are really ready for the next level.

By the way, speaking of Pitino, I saw him at the Knicks’ game the other night (from my TV) - along with a lengthy list of other A-list celebrities. Calipari was there too. Only in New York - or LA.

NYC is having a "moment" right now when it comes to hoops....

Johnnies just picked up (arguably) the best player out of the portal, Tounde Yessoufou from Baylor.....

Incredible pickup. Honestly before this I was thinking UConn had more talent than SJU and would be the clear favorite this year. I think the 2 programs will be neck and neck just like last year now

Vyctorius Miller also a nice pickup for Georgetown

Lol I was thinking along similar lines

Gotta revive this thread as CU re-acquired Fred King (pending court approval of the 5th year players.)

Last year at Murray State, he lead the MVC in blocked shots, rebounding and field goal percentage.

Last week, Oakland transfer guard Brody Robinson committed to Creighton.

"The 5-11 guard was granted a fifth year of eligibility in a Tennessee ruling. He averaged 17.6 PPG and 6.7 APG this past season, ranking top 10 nationally in assists."

Or not .... The courts giveth. The courts taketh away. Or vice versa

Either way, I'm hoping the upcoming football season straightens this out quickly. Don't want to drag this into basketball season.

Did the additions of both King and Robinson fall through? Or just one? I honestly haven't kept up with this court case nonsense because I hate what is going on with these lawsuits. I too hope this doesn't not drag into bball season, but fear it will.

Appreciate you providing these updates and reviving this thread!

I don't have great info, but I think Robinson may have standing in the Kentucky case while Fred has no standing in any cases. Which really bums me out, because I want to get back to singing Grand Funk Railroad "American Band" with "Up all night with Freddie Kind..." and the four young chaquitas in Omaha.

TBH, who knows? And I'm afraid this is just another step in a walk that is not ending anytime soon.

Marquette has added 5th year guy PG Colin Porter from Liberty.

Is he definitely eligible? Or another guy in limbo?

Sorry I haven't kept up with this, life happened and I haven't been on the board much. I want to go add all of the 5th year guys I have missed but don't want to take the time to add a bunch of guys who end up not being able to play, lol.

He's part of the group suing for 5 in 5.

Thanks . I'll probably wait to add these guys until the court cases fully play out. Then again, at that point this thread will basically be for naught as one can just look up the rosters lol.

AFAIK Both are still pending.

This is crazy land.
