@kellenmsampson Mustapha Thiam would be such an elite last addition for the big rotation, especially since he can shoot. a lineup with 2 7'6+ wingspans would be a historic defensive unit

Fit and Development over Everything else 🤞🏾

@thebadbearcat Wes is an elite recruiter, most you named would have been stars on other programs.99% of recruits including elite need development. that’s where he lacks. Sampson in jizzle freshmen year, noted he had one of the highest potentials in the league. Good recruiter terrible developer

Wes Miller gets touted as a good recruiter. But is he? 2021: Nothing 2022: Sage Tolentino Dan Skillings Josh Reed 2023: Rayvon Griffith Jizzle James 2024: Tyler Betsey Tyler McKinley 2025: Shon Abaev Keyshawn Tillery By 247 metrics - maybe?

@HoopsOnlyGump But he didn’t redshirt in college..the redshirt must be in college to get the 5th year..you don’t automatically get 5.. BUT i could live with him just getting the 5th year (the core of the rule is still there).. but his lawsuit is seeking next year too .. he wants it all back

@840Sport He would be a 5th year senior this year, by definition his clock has not timed out so you’re wrong. If you want to make another argument you can but he didn’t time out

Meet Musa Sagnia, a 22 year old freshman playing at NC State. Prior to playing for NC State, he spent 4 years playing in Spanish Liga ACB, the same league that Luka Doncic played in. So forgive me if I don’t care that Chuck gets an extra semester of college hoops.

@HoopsOnlyGump You are blinded by your support for bama, but everything else has only fundamentally changed the top of the sport (get elite euro players in).. chucks situation would change everyone. Send developing players oversees and stop college to develop

@840Sport It didn’t time out or he wouldn’t be able to play this semester

@HoopsOnlyGump That is a fundamentally different situation.. 1)at 18 he wouldn’t have been given eligibility with the old rules 2) the issue isn’t age, But a player starting college, leaving for 3years to develop in pros and coming back. Opening a cheat way to get 3-6 year redshirts

@awday119 so he's just not anywhere on the list ?youtu.be/WZi2_7molvg?si…

Since we around the midpoint of the NCAA Season, here’s my 2026 Midseason Positional Board removed a lot of players i’m overly skeptical on declaring (there are still a lot of long shots on here) lmk if theres any questions about rank/positions/omissions etc.

@JacobEvans_1 You’d rather angry fans in the stands than no fans at all. “Tough times” like it’s not been 10yrs. Also why would a recruit care??? If I recruited you to be the savior of the program, what happened prior wouldn’t matter.. you’ve become an agent of the system.

If I’m a recruit why would I wanna go play for a fanbase that does stuff like this when times get tough!? Young men put blood sweat and tears into this and “fans” do this!??…

@StockTalks21 Houston when Sahko returns from Injury- Harwell, Mercy, Mcarthy, Ramon i believe have all had atleast 1 15pt game this year. sahko can defend. Arizona is up there too Dell'Orso & Awaka started for them last year, they were a top 20 team last year. Aristode a 5* w/ huge games too

Among contenders, who has the best bench in College Basketball?

@wildcatwoody001 @HoraceSports @JCHawks_BBN Prior to Tennessee game was the adjusted #1 defense, currently #2

@840Sport @HoraceSports @JCHawks_BBN Houston shot better from the 3, , out rebounded, had more assists than UT. Difference in this game? One team shot 29 FTs, the other shot 11. And their adjusted offense is top 40, but #3 in the country?!

The big difference for Tennessee in that game and the others Turnovers They limited turnovers way more than I thought they could

@wildcatwoody001 @HoraceSports @JCHawks_BBN Also lacking knowing ball.. Houston intentionally has less possessions per game. They do not do fast breaks nor allow teams to do fast break. Houston adjusted offense to pace is top 40 nationally .. Houston is 300 in total points, but also 300 in possessions per game..

@840Sport @HoraceSports @JCHawks_BBN And yet, they rank 306th nationally after only playing Auburn. They’ve scored over 80 once playing the likes of Towson, Lehigh, Oakland. This is this year, not last year

@wildcatwoody001 @HoraceSports @JCHawks_BBN You don’t kno ball, we have a bigger sample size than this year. sharp is argued as the best shooters in the country, Milos Uzan shot 43% from 3 last year (taking Houston to the title game), Chris cenac is a 5star top 10 player for being a elite shooter youtu.be/WZi2_7molvg?si…

@HoraceSports @JCHawks_BBN They average 72.8 points per game, putting them 306th in the nation in that department. And that’s playing one team that’s worth anything. Yeah, I know ball 😉

@ryanhammer09 Lejaun watts? Over koa peat? I’d honestly take obi at Baylor over him. Ok state has a player avging 28 per his last 14 games (including W over auburn in scrimmage) but that might be too much a deep cut.. Thiam is so underrated too 10pt/7rb/3blks as a enrollee true freshman

My Preseason Big 12 All Conference Teams⬇️ 1st: JT Toppin (TT) Josh Jefferson (ISU) Darryn Peterson (KU) AJ Dybantsa (BYU) Milos Uzan (UH) 2nd: Christian Anderson (TT) Tamin Lipsey (ISU) Richie Saunders (BYU) PJ Haggerty (K State) Jojo Tugler (UH) 3rd: LeJuan Watts (TT) Tounde Yessoufou (BAY) Flory Bidunga (KU) Emmanuel Sharp (UH) Jaden Bradley (AZ) Rob Wright III (BYU)

@ryanhammer09 I don’t get the Tech hype. The have a POY but their #2 players did only 10pts per. Every guard after him is like a 10pt mid major or player with zero experience. There are teams with more touted 15pt transfers as their 8th man , Toppjn and Anderson alone aren’t winning a title

My take on the Big 12 this year: Best top 6 of any league in the country. All 6 could end up cracking the top 10 at some point in the season. Houston Texas Tech BYU Iowa State Kansas Arizona

@EvanMiya I get excluding freshmen, but Houston likely top 5 by seasons end w/ its best ever shooting team, Sharp and Uzan are both great to elite shooters. Cenac and Harwell are 5star becuase of their ability to shoot 3s. then McCarty (who redshirted) sampson says is a elite shooter

Here are the teams with the most elite 3PT shooters on their roster based on preseason projections at EvanMiya.com (new D1 players excluded due to lack of data): Purdue, UConn, Oklahoma, and Virginia are the only ones with 4 ⬇️

@MVPJenkins @JalinTroutman35 Talking college (not pro prospects) half of those guys aren’t better than Sharp. Blackwell? Ball? Philon? Ps Sharp has already been named to 2 preseason all American lists .. also winners get the spoils in AA, he’ll only need about 15pts ona top 3 Houston like cryer ..

@840Sport @JalinTroutman35 Because he’s not the best guard on his own team (Uzan imo) and there are so many other guards around the country that will put up better numbers. Just to name a few, excluding Uzan: Smith Dent Stirtz Peterson Oweh Pettiford Philon Solo Ball Mikel Brown John Blackwell

3 things. Houston only getting 16 1st place votes is HIDEOUS because I believe Houston will be even better this year than last. They should be the best team in the country. I think Haugh, Condon, and Chinyelu will be awesome again for Florida but I can’t stop worrying about guard play. Losing Clayton Jr, Martin, and Richard seems like a lot for Fland, Lee, and the incoming freshman to take on. I hope I’m wrong, it’s a better sport when Florida is elite. And lastly I don’t really get the St. John’s hype. All bias aside, I believe they will be good, but top 5 in the country seems very generous. Duke, Texas Tech, Louisville should all be higher when I compare them.

@MVPJenkins @JalinTroutman35 I also don’t get how Sharp can’t be an all American? UH has had 4 AA guards the last 4 years (grimes, sasser, shead, cryer) sharps stats are better than all for “the year b4 their all American year” .. also Tugler is the Unanimous favorite for national DPOY def AA candidate

@JalinTroutman35 Uzan-yes Tugler-if his scoring increase, yes Sharp-No I want to do a blind resume test with you to prove my point with Sharp. All stats are from 24-25, not career.

@MVPJenkins @JalinTroutman35 You can blind resume all you want, no one is taking loyer over sharp.. no one. Sharp is insanely better on defense (loyers a liability), sharp also shoots more off the dribble/create his own (negates the percentage difference). youtu.be/WZi2_7molvg?si…

@jdfletch3 @JamieShaw5 @ConorONeill_DI @JacksonCollier @HawkeyeReport @ShayWildeboor @ShelCEHill @ConnorSargean14 @NYCHoops @804derm @PolacheckKSR No Houston in the top 20. U know, the top 2 consensus preseason team... No Emmanuel Sharp AT ALL in the top 100. the elite shooter/shut down defender from the team that went to the NATIONAL TITLE.. insane list youtu.be/WZi2_7molvg?si…

With less than a month until the college basketball season begins, take a look at the Top 100 players! Who is too high? Too low? Biggest snub? Read here: on3.com/news/ranking-t…
