Anthony Robinson II: Scouting Report
NIL-era college basketball is a heck of a rollercoaster. One day you’re good, and the next day you’re not. One day, you’re flying under the radar at some mid-major school, the next day a high-major plucks you away from obscurity and, all of a sudden, you’re an NBA prospect. Missouri basketball has been on a…

Who Will Coach at the U?
“I just didn’t feel like that I could successfully navigate this whole new world that I was dealing with.” – Jim Larranga ‘Twas the day after Christmas, and all was doom and dimmer. Then came Jim Larranga, who sent shockwaves through Twitter. Final Fours, Elite Eights, what a basketball mind. But now there’s a replacement,…

The Note Hub: Fears and Stirtz Keep Their Teams Undefeated
For this week’s Note Hub, I did set out a goal to put aside the top prospects of the 2025 NBA Draft – your Cooper Flaggs, Dylan Harpers, etc.—to focus on less heralded guys, some of whom will most likely return to college for the 2025-26 season. And then, Jeremiah Fears happened, delivering one of…

Royal Flush: Betting on Queen
Intro To be honest, I wasn’t very high on Derik Queen coming into the season. I had him in the 25 – 35 range. I wasn’t sure about how his game would translate to the NBA, especially since he is a big who wasn’t a floor spacer or much of a rim protector. Plus I…

The Note Hub: Jakučionis Rises, McNeeley Breaks Out
The gods of college (and NBA) basketball treated us with an amazing slate of hoops on Saturday, as if to prepare us for amazing basketball Saturdays when the conference battles kick in full gear after the New Year. Despite the excitement on the court, there was excitement off the court too, as AJ Dybantsa announced…

The Note Hub: Unicorn Wolf, Sorber Shines
We were really feeling the post-Feast Week blues at the beginning of the week, weren’t we? The college basketball slates on Monday and Tuesday were pretty underwhelming, so it was a nice time to reflect on what transpired the week before. A lot of big boards were updated, taking into account what happened in Maui,…

Here are my week 5 rankings of the top 100 teams in college basketball! In lieu of week 4 rankings, I wrote an article about a tournament I attended, the Legends Classic in Barclays Center in Brooklyn. You can find that piece here. Here are the teams that have fallen out of my top 100…

The Note Hub: Feast Week Observations
It’s been almost a month since the college basketball season started and the Feast Week is now beyond us. And what a week it was, from the incredible first day games in Maui (not looking at you, Michigan State-Colorado) to massive upsets in the Bahamas, where we witnessed something that we can call the return…

Horns Up! Legends Classic Recap
This week, I had the opportunity to cover the Legends Classic in Brooklyn as credentialed media. This event consisted of the Texas Longhorns (SEC), Syracuse Orange (ACC), Texas Tech (Big 12), and St. Joseph’s (A10). On Thursday, Texas beat Syracuse, while St. Joseph’s won a thriller against Texas Tech. As a result, Texas Tech and…

The Consensus at the Top is Not Consensus Anymore
Before the college basketball season, on most NBA draft boards, the consensus top 5 was pretty clear: first you’d have Cooper Flagg, then you’d rank Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, VJ Edgecombe and Nolan Traore in some order. It seems like with the NCAA season tipping off two weeks ago, that consensus has came into question.…

Prospect Breakdown – Dylan Harper
I think it’s important with NBA draft scouting that we form our own opinions and stick to our guns, rather than following along with the consensus. Just because everyone is saying that Cooper Flagg is the best player in the 2025 draft class, doesn’t mean he is. Consensus thought Markelle Fultz was no. 1 in…
