College Basketball 2023

Since the season's coming up and I don't see a thread, decided to just make one myself. Starting off the morning with some big recruiting news as 5 Star forward Cooper Flagg has committed to Duke at like 7 AM sharp in the morning for some reason, dude must be an early bird or something lol.

Flagg to Duke was known since last year so not surprising at all.

 

It's been a while since UNC got the best recruit in the Nation. We need to start back getting those 1 and done type talents.

Powell vs. Flagg is going to be interesting.

It’s a pretty unanimous thought that Powell is one of if not the best defender in HS basketball, repeatedly locking down top talents.

Not usually one to care much about scrimmages/exhibition matches but Louisville just lost an exhibition to D2 Kentucky Wesleyan, who are projected to finish 8th in the G-MAC. Not sure if Payne will make it through the season given how much of a disaster that whole thing was last year.

Pitino and St John’s lost as well, they were missing three or four of their top players though.

The Tarheels will be better this year IMO.  Not having Caleb Love shooting us out of games will be a welcome sight and they start 4 seniors

Bacot ain't a senior. He's 37 years old

I know this is a joke but UVA’s kicker is 34.

No sir he's actually 42 years old!

[Shocker]

Yeah I think Bacot played for Dean Smith as a freshman

Gameday! Mostly just cupcake matchups but hey, maybe something crazy'll happen.

LeBron Jr plays for USC tonight on TNT.

 

Not expecting him to be a star but he seems like he can be a quality bench depth kind of player.

Not sure where you were this year but Bronny ain’t playing. He collapsed and nearly died on the court during the summer. I’d be shocked if he plays at all this year but he’s definitely not playing tonight.
