@RaviRambaran You know your stuff. 🦾

I'm not mad at JB at all for entering the portal. He gave this school his time for 3 seasons; 1 redshirt, 1 with minimal playing time, and this season, while playing for a coach who didn't recruit him to the team originally. I hope they gave him a respectful offer, and that they had some good plans for him next season. If I were coaching there, I'd have to say... "JB, you know we need you back as the starter next year, c'mon man". As for NCAA Division 1 Coaches, you are permitted to read my scouting reports and recommendations, even though I don't have an NCAA-approved scouting service, per Adam Morrissey. Jacob Bannarbie #10 (UNLV Men's Basketball 🏀), a 6'9", 235-pounder, Big Forward, is highly skilled, and fundamentally sound. Mr. Bannarbie demonstrates extreme patience, leadership, and effective post protection defensively. Offensively, he can facilitate the pick and roll with either of the Guards, the PG or SG, or in a 3-Guard lineup, he can shine and become effective just as well. He can guard big Wing Guards and Wing Forwards, and he can be plugged in 🔌, in the post, and guard 4's and 5's. His UNLV team is losing a team player on and off the court, who can adapt to multiple changing teammates and welcome them, and can play in the most hostile environments, at high altitudes, and in difficult travel circumstances. In my opinion, Mr. Bannarbie has a very bright 🕯️future after finishing his Redshirt Sophomore year at UNLV. While entering the NCAA Transfer Portal as a Junior for next season, JB, for short, is like a traveling mercenary, or a 'Have Gun, Will Travel' type of Dude. 😎 It is my opinion that JB stands to be much more productive offensively, if given his shots in the mid-range, and his touches down-low in the post. As such, I would expect him to rebound, play solid fundamental Man-to-Man defense, and block shots in the paint, if he's actively involved in games with his new team. Again, he has spent the time developing and listening to one coach's visions for the team, and that coach's replacement too. He adjusts well to changing rosters and systems, and he would be an asset to any NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball 🏀 team. If I were able to grade Mr. Bannarbie's potential at the NCAA Division 1 level, I would have to say that he is "solidly poised to contribute to high major/Power 4 Conference teams, and it is also possible that he could dominate and make an impact at any high-level G5 schools as well. His fundamental soundness and development, his great attitude, his leadership skills, and his efforts to befriend teammates and help them with their development haven't gone unnoticed". I don't have access to his grades, GPA, or injury history; however, he has been able and available for his entire college career academically, and I doubt that he'd have any academic eligibility issues. Again, UNLV is losing a solidly developed, fundamentally sound, Big Forward, who is comfortable playing at the 5 spot, if needed. *As always, all schools are encouraged to do their due diligence when scouting and recruiting players. However, from what I have seen, any NCAA institution would be lucky to have this bright, young man, who can only benefit from his presence on their campus, and on their Men's Basketball 🏀 team. Thank you for your time, and for reading. Please reach out to JB's representatives for all recruiting purposes, as I'm not an agent, but I have scouted JB for years, including his time as a redshirt.

@jasonkredline @feardemonkey I would think that Issac Williamson returns.

@feardemonkey Seems so.

Never knew what to make of Ladji. Probably the portal entry that surprises me the most so far, felt that he would return. All eyes now go to Issac Williamson, and Emanuel Stephen. Seems like the market for big men is just hyper inflated this year.

@MattNorlander Big Ten is a better conference, and Michigan is LOADED with money. They also have ~700,000 living alumni.

NEWS: Dusty May has removed his name from the North Carolina coach search, sources told @CBSSports. He'll be staying on at Michigan. UNC has been aware and has continued its search with other targets on its board. Billy Donovan remains a primary potential candidate in Chapel Hill

@jibrin_jj How can anybody afford to weigh that much?

Story of Charles and Nicole who weighs a staggering 900 pounds even so, anytime she wakes up, she ate 10 bags of potato chips

@krassenstein That is not Joe Biden.

BREAKING: As Trump embarrassed himself and the country on national TV yesterday, Joe Biden was flying coach and writing this letter to a young woman who sat close to him.

@RoccoMiller8 Dave Rice at UNLV.

RARE: Former UNI Head Coach does a press conference for the local media before heading to Utah State. He is clearly extremely grateful for all of the success they accomplished together. I don't recall many, if any, recent carousel exit pressers, unless it was attached to a game.

@FlemmingDa30605 @franfraschilla @ArizonaMBB Tommy Lloyd is from the West Coast. Arizona is an ELITE job. I don’t ever see him leaving.

@franfraschilla @ArizonaMBB lol sure Fran — He also hates his AD, will have his salary doubled, and gets to live in Chapel Hill, NC instead of the desert.

At this point in time, there is no better job for Tommy Lloyd than @ArizonaMBB. If you don’t want to call the Wildcats a “blueblood,” that’s fine. But he’s not leaving for North Carolina or the other “blue bloods” that could open next year. Just spend a basketball weekend in Tucson to understand that.

@jasonkredline WTF?! Using a mid-major job as leverage?

So Mark Madsen prolly used the Utah State opening to get CAL to open up the NIL checkbook more, That’s what that situation seems like to me. Sucks to be used like that.

@JoeSobaski Depends on how good you are.

@AnthemRebel Legitimately if I was in college sports I would enter the transfer portal every year even if I intended on returning. Give you more leverage. Can always re-sign

By the way, I am NOT giving up hope Dra comes back to UNLVmbb I don’t know that ship has sailed

@che_myles @AdamHillLVRJ @SportsGzy @MylesChe @GrantZhouYang It’s clear that Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn will be the primary ball handler if he returns.

@SportsGzy - We would like to announce that UNLV guard Myles Che @mylesche will enter the transfer portal. Myles Che is a 6'3, 195lbs guard from Walnut, California.

@Global_Folder How could you sit down?

Craziest BBL

@P365_9 You clearly haven’t read or seen the news.

@RepJayapal If he IS a citizen he is an idiot for worrying about it. Maybe he needs a therapist

“I shouldn’t be living like this. No kid should.” Listen to Manny, a 17 year old U.S. citizen, speak about the constant fear that he and his community live in due to ICE’s attacks on our families.

@AuburnElvis Any rational person knows that these athletes are employees.

@slmandel A limitation on transfers acts as very broad non-compete agreement - which the courts generally don't uphold. The only way to have enforceable rules is to make the athletes employees. Then you can have things like limited non-compete agreements.

I never thought I'd write a column praising a politician. And never guessed it would be Sen. Tommy Tuberville. But his proposed bill to temper the transfer portal and eligibility is more realistic than any "Save College Sports" thing to this point. nytimes.com/athletic/71505…

@SethDavisHoops He’s probably retiring.

Self has been dealing with a significant heart issue the last two years. His doctors have told him he is healthy enough to coach but he is leaving some wiggle room here. Wouldn't trust too much what a person says after such an emotional loss but this is a little further than he has gone to suggest he might be done.

@jasonkredline He has to go. Bannarbie is much better.

Emanuel Stephen is not a D1 college basketball player. This is not the level for him.

@MaxPreps @AndrewPetcash Why are there so many schools on the geographical halfway point of the US?

The West Coast really does look a bit thin on schools out there. 😳👀 (via @AndrewPetcash)

@44pers Yes. Read the bio of the OP.

@jasonwhitlock Lmao. Is this a joke?

Gold. Lol.

Even with the scar on her face, the cameraman was lost in her world.🥹❤️

@Average_Voter15 I already do that.

@MPNV1990 They're okay with me. Take everything with a grain of salt no matter what account it comes from.

WTF Video obtained by NYP shows Bobby Pulido, a Democrat candidate for Texas State House, starring in a music video where he dresses as a woman and a pervert who mast*rbates in public. EXTREMELY DISTURBING

@Average_Voter15 Libs of Tik Tok.

@MPNV1990 Which account is click bait?
