He's going to be a pro. He's physically and athletically ready. He will have a chance to damage in the Mountain West Conference ala Paul George...

I wonder if he was the backup plan if Tim didn’t qualify. It would seem to make sense. The timing may be a coincidence but he committed soon after it appears Tim officially qualified.

/photo/1 OK, I have to ask, are these kids really good at Photoshop or there is some place that builds these social media billboards? Story about the most famous edit maker in the business, 22 year old college junior Joe Tipton.

Francis Okoro will most likely reclassify into the 2018 class. His recruitment is a little murkier, but we do know a few things. The top-50 prospect has already taken official visits to Oregon and Purdue, and Illinois remains in the mix, too. The Boilermakers had gained some major ground over the past few weeks and with Okoro’s close proximity to the West Lafayette campus and Matt Painter's success with big men, the Boilermakers may be the team to beat. The Ducks should not be counted out, though. Oregon has become known for landing highly-regarded talent late in the recruiting cycle, just as it has over in recent years with the addition of transfers Elijah Brown and MiKyle McIntosh. Okoro could make a commitment at any time, with Purdue and Oregon looking like the two favorites. Francis Okoro committed to Oregon A previously highly recruited transfer hit the market on Friday when Francis Okoro entered the transfer portal. The 6-foot-9, 235-pound sophomore center from Normal (Ill.) Community West averaged 3.3 points and 4.2 rebounds in 17.2 minutes per game this season. Okoro was previously a member of the 2019 recruiting class, but reclassified into 2018 to enroll at Oregon early. The 56th rated prospect in the 2018 247Sports Composite Rankings, Okoro chose Oregon over Illinois and Purdue. It is unclear at this time who will be involved in his recruitment this time around. Okoro will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Hoyaflife who is playing and who, if you know, are the Hoya coached checking out? St Benedicts has some good players: Zarrique Nutter(MM) and CJ Witcher(HM) are probably the two MM-HM guys on that team. Aaron Estrada and Supreme Cook are two low level D-1 guys. Roselle Catholic has Khalil Whitney(UK signee), josh pierre louis (UNLV signee), 2020 Cliff Omoruyi (HM raw big), and two low major guards: Greeves and Rogers Camden has two high major bigs: 2020 Lance ware(Maryland, SHU, ect offers) and 2021 Taquon Woodley (South Carolina offer)

Josh Nickleberry 6'4 SG Josh is a 6’4 shooting guard that has great feel for the game. He is an athletic and big guard. He is a big contributor on the offensive and defensive side of the ball as he is very vocal. This weekend he was making many three-point shots and showed that he can score the ball on all three levels. Josh is really starting to get noticed by different college coaches. “My recruitment is going really well, I have five offers right now from Baylor, Virginia Tech, VCU, Wake Forest and Howard, so I would say its going the way I want it to.” He is also hearing from a number of colleges a lot including Penn State, North Carolina, NC State, Xavier, East Carolina, Miami, Florida and College of Charleston.” He has visited North Carolina, Georgetown, Maryland and NC State. He mentioned that he hopes to visit Penn State soon. makeplayz.com/2019-josh-nickleberry-talks-game-recruitment/Louisville might see the exit of a former four-star recruit. Guard Josh Nickelberry entered his name into the transfer portal, sources told 247Sports. 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/Josh-Nickelberry-transfer-portal-Louisville-Cardinals-guard-basketball-March-Madness-163856856/

Donta Scott: Having already taken unofficial visits to St. Joes (Aug. 31) and Penn State (Sept. 1), Scott will trip to Maryland (Sept. 14-16), Temple (Sept. 18-20), Seton Hall (Sept. 21-23), South Carolina (Oct. 5-7) and La Salle (Oct. 12-14). No official so think we can stick a fork in this one.. When Donta Scott blows past the UConn Huskies team for a rim-rattling dunk or rainbows a three-pointer over the outstretched hand of a Michigan Wolverine, it’s hard to believe there was ever a time when the 6-foot-8-inch, 230-pound forward felt overwhelmed. But while growing up in Philadelphia, his athletic career almost never had a chance to take flight. From the beginning of elementary school, he was consumed with frustration at keeping up and behaving in class. “It was hard for me to just deal with school,” said the junior. “Those emotions—I just locked them up.” As a star big man who won state and city championships at Imhotep Charter, Scott eventually found his solace in basketball. He also wants to share the hard work and lessons learned from his educational progress in a new book out now, “Wired Differently: My School Journey.” Yellow text saying Wired Differently, My School Journey by Donta Scott, Black Cager Press on a red background with a side-profile photo of Donta Scott “I’ve been doing this so long, there have been so many great stories,” Maryland head coach Mark Turgeon said to The Philadelphia Inquirer. “But this is one of the all-time great stories—where he is now, and hopefully where he can end up.” Scott was one of the Terps’ most improved players last year, averaging 11 points and a team-high 5.9 rebounds a game. He’s expected to play a key role again in the UMD men’s basketball season, which begins tonight at home against Quinnipiac. Scott was hit by a car as a toddler and hospitalized with a head injury that he believes has made academics an uphill climb for most of his life, and he was later diagnosed with a learning disorder. “I was late coming to things,” he said. “(With basketball) I started clicking and seeing the bigger picture.” Scott wants the book to offer hope to young athletes who have learning disabilities and other academic struggles, and help them overcome the fear of asking for help. The youngest of nine, Scott is the first of his siblings to attend a four-year-college and wants to use his platform to offer concrete guidance on how to meet admission standards and qualify for scholarships as well be a role model for anyone who may not have one at home. “Even if you don’t see it, there are kids who look up to you,” he said. The book was written and published with Delgreco Wilson, a fixture of the Philadelphia basketball community who mentors students through the college recruiting process. A friend of Scott’s youth basketball coach, Wilson said Scott was often labeled a “bad kid” because his anger with schoolwork would boil over. “Young Black guys struggle, and there’s a stigma attached to learning difficulty,” he said. “Instead of just saying, ‘I don’t understand,’ or ‘I need extra help,’ they act out. They are just trying to keep people off the fact they don’t know how to do the work.” Scott was recruited by schools including Georgetown, Seton Hall and South Carolina, but it was his comfort with UMD’s academic support staff that made the difference, Wilson said. “He has absolutely just taken control over that aspect of his life,” he said. “Donta takes his time and learns. Once he grasps something, he really has got it.” Scott acknowledges it took some time to find his groove in college, but an emphasis on scheduling and time management has made the difference. “Coach Turgeon always says, ‘It’s bigger than basketball’,” Scott said. “You’ve got to have the education.” today.umd.edu/wired-differently-on-the-court-and-in-the-classroom
