The coach who recruited Caleb Holt to Arizona is now UNC's top target. $9-12M buyout sitting between him and Chapel Hill. Is the #4 overall's commitment still standing? 👀

Caleb Holt bet on a coach, not a school. Now that coach is UNC's top target. Is the #4 overall already back on the board? 🤔

Tommy Lloyd is UNC's top coaching target. Caleb Holt committed to Arizona specifically for Lloyd. Is the #4 overall still a Wildcat? 👀

Is he neXT? Caleb Holt committed to Arizona before the tournament run. Before the Tommy Lloyd rumors settled. Before the Elite Eight. #4 overall and he saw the program first. 🏀

Who had AJ Dybantsa before everyone else did? 25.3 PPG. $4.2M NIL. 35 pts in his last game. Draft declaration April 3-7. From prep standout to projected #1 pick — that call aged well. Receipts don't lie. Speak up now.

If your head coach won't commit, why should your top recruit? Bill Self: "No, I haven't decided." Stokes: still uncommitted. Kansas: 4th straight R32 exit. Is he neXT somewhere else? 🤔

Kansas gets Stokes. #1 overall. 5-school race. McDonald's AA Day 3 — last showcase before the biggest commitment in the 2026 class. Tennessee, Kentucky, Duke, Louisville all in. None of them are Bill Self on a Sweet 16 run. Crystal ball exists for a reason. Is he neXT? ⭐

Every class has one player the whole recruiting world waits on. 2026: Tyran Stokes. #1 overall. 6-7 SF out of Rainier Beach. Kansas the favorite. Clock running. McDonald's AA is 9 days out. Still no call.

The Maravich comparison isn't hyperbole. 22.0 PPG. 6.2 APG. AJ Acuff Jr. is the first SEC player since Pistol Pete to average both in a season. AP All-American. What ceiling do you put on this run?

Who had Jordan Smith Jr. as the 2026 Naismith POTY before the votes came in? Arkansas. McDonald's AA. 10 days. Time to show receipts.

St. John Bosco to USC. Christian Collins — 5⭐, #5 overall, 6-8 SF — made the call on March 18. Kentucky was the fall frontrunner. The film from Peach Jam told a different story. The scouts watching Bosco in October already knew where this was heading.

Kevin Young turned BYU into a pipeline. Demin. Dybantsa. Branch III. Three five-stars back to back to back. 25.3 PPG. 6.7 RPG. Freshman. In the Big 12. First round. Portland. Thursday. Did you see this coming when he signed?

Honest question: was Kevin Young's BYU the most underrated coaching story of the last two years? Demin. Dybantsa. Branch III. Three straight five-stars. No. 6 seed. People are catching on now.

19.4 PPG. 7.4 RPG. 2.5 SPG. Adidas 3SSB last summer. That was Caleb Holt before the national conversation started. That's why Arizona was always the right read — Lloyd already had the relationship from USA Basketball U19. #4 overall. Arizona. 🏀

Stokes just won a state title and still hasn't committed. I have him going to Oregon — not Kansas. Everyone's circled Lawrence but the PNW pull is real. He's from Seattle. Eugene is right there. Altman builds pros. Who gets him? Drop your call below.
