“It has been a memorable time for me, and Kentucky will forever hold a special place in my heart. I've loved my time here, but I'm ready to finally fulfill my lifelong dream of playing in the NBA. With that being said I will be entering my name into the 2023 NBA Draft. Go Big Blue!"

Pretty cool article.

Tonight at 7:00 on ESPNU. Skenes against Dollander. Crews batting .542. Must watch TV. Normally, I'm not an LSU fan, but for tonight, Geaux Tigers!

FAU is in the Final Four. The NIT championship is between UAB and North Texas. And, all three schools are members of CUSA. Is CUSA suddenly a hoops power?

This is something that I never thought I would see in my lifetime. Heck, three of the four teams in the Final Four are first timers.

It's been a bizarre hoops season, to say the least.

Uhh… isn’t this tampering?

Thanks to a fender-bender on I-65, my 20-minute drive to practice this morning turned into an hour and 10 minutes and I missed half of practice. But here’s what I saw when I was there.

• The offense basically dominated today. The QB’s—I saw mostly Ken Seals and Drew Dickey, and some AJ Swann—were pretty sharp.
• WR Quincy Skinner had about a 25-yard TD and caught another long pass from Swann later.
• TE Logan Kyle, who’s done some nice things in camp, had a nice catch for 20 or so that included a good run-after-catch.
• RB Dylan Betts-Pauley had a short TD run to cap off a drive.
• DE Darren Agu had a sack and almost another.
• Swann hit WR Will Sheppard for a TD. Sheppard, IMO, has been the best player in camp.
• RB Patrick Smith had a short TD run.
• LB Kane Patterson and LB Langston Patterson have kind of been a headache to block this camp. Both did nice things today. I said this in fall camp last year, Langston is going to lead the team in tackles one year. I don’t know what his role will be this year, whether he’ll push Barr to start or what, but he’s going to be a factor.
• I see the CJ Taylor comments went semi-viral on the board, I’ll post a video of that so you can hear it for yourself.

Sorry again it took me so long to post and that I missed part of practice, lots of stuff going on here in the Lee family.

In honor of opening day...who you got winning it all this year?

I'm going with the San Diego Padres

I'm not sure what to make of this. I think we need to step on their throats and not let up.

Was in Dick’s Sporting Goods today and saw a Walker Buehler branded pitching trainer. Pretty cool!!

More from the in-state, cornerback target out of MUS. Vanderbilt among six schools in contention.

Let’s get on record. Who will be Stack’s first piece of the puzzle for 2023/2024?

I’ve got a few hours of things to take care of before I can get to my laptop to post.

Does anyone have a sense of how many players Coach Ralph and her team may be hoping to recruit through the transfer portal, and what are the biggest positions of need that we might fill in this way?

We may have a full roster. Just curious and some of you on this board do a great job of following the Women's team.

Thank you.

Vanderbilt completed an in-home with Lehigh transfer Evan Taylor yesterday, per source.

Taylor averaged 14.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game this season while shooting 42.5% from the field along with 43% from 3-point range. Also averaged 13 points per game last season. Taylor is a 6-foot-6 guard with one year of eligibility remaining.

Love to see the floppers and foulers go down. Did not score for almost 10 straight minutes to lose by two. I hate Wisky!

Two national titles, three runner-up finishes. John Williamson has built an honest to goodness elite program.

"Townies vs. Gownies" with some twists in the plot . . . .

$800M price tag quoted

Friction is rising again as the university seeks a zoning change for a new, $800 million complex. Northwestern has raised hundreds of millions of dollars and launched a public-relations campaign with a descriptive if not exactly catchy tagline: “Rebuilding Ryan Field: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform lives in Evanston.”

Plenty of neighbors would prefer their lives remain untransformed.

More than 1,000 people have signed a petition calling for city leaders not to rubber-stamp the project. Signs dot front yards deriding “MegaConcerts” and “Profiteering.” Residents pack local meetings.

Opposition research has fueled accusations of NIMBY hypocrisy by a wealthy Northwestern trustee and stadium supporter who himself fought a construction project near his Martha’s Vineyard summer residence.

Underlying the drive for the new complex is an amenities arms race that dominates American higher education.
