NCAA Division I men’s college basketball rosters, departures, newcomers for 2022-23
Between the one-time transfer waiver and the extra year of eligibility due to the pandemic-impacted 2020-21 season, keeping track of the comings and goings has become borderline impossible. As one coach said to me recently, it feels like every player in the country can find a year of eligibility if they really try. But keeping […]

CHICAGO — Kansas coach Bill Self never ruled out the possibility of his team reaching the Final Four. He didn’t feel as certain as he did in 2020, when Kansas spent the final month of the season ranked No. 1 before the coronavirus pandemic canceled the NCAA tournament. This Jayhawks version had looked elite at […]

Two Elite Eight games down, two to go. And at least one of Sunday’s 2022 NCAA tournament meetings is what March Madness is about for a great many viewers. The Saint Peter’s Peacocks have been the story of the tourney to date, becoming the first No. 15 team in NCAA tournament history to reach the […]

Well, now it gets interesting. It’s at this point in the NCAA tournament that things generally stop making sense. The original seeds still carry weight for the teams that have survived — they give us the full picture about a team’s season thus far. But what do you do with the surprises in the field? […]

Will preseason No. 1 Gonzaga stay at the top and finally win a national title? Will Emoni Bates and Jalen Duren move No. 12 Memphis into title contention? Who’s going to surprise us all? ESPN’s experts (Myron Medcalf, Jeff Borzello, John Gasaway and Joe Lunardi) discussed this, and more college basketball storylines, before the action […]

Follow this link to read what anonymous coaches said about recruiting in the ACC, the Big East, the Big Ten, the Pac-12, the SEC, the AAC and the Big 12. Medcalf: I think it makes sense to put the spotlight on the immediate contributions of the program-altering transfers who led Baylor to its first national […]
Continue reading2021 NBA draft: 104 seniors on NBA’s preliminary early-entry list
This “preliminary early-entry list” includes only college seniors, allowing NBA teams an extra two weeks to conduct due diligence on a group that would have been eligible to conduct workouts and interviews if not for the NCAA’s decision to grant all players an extra year of eligibility in October. The league office elected to take […]

Because it has been nearly impossible to keep track of rosters this offseason, we’ve decided to share a cleaner version of my roster changes research. (The actual one has cross-outs and underlines and capitalized names; it’s unreasonable to think anyone besides me can read it.) First, some guidelines. “Departed or expected to depart” players include […]
Continue readingDick Vitale’s 2020-21 college basketball players to watch — and more
With games set to tip off Wednesday, here are my preseason players to keep an eye on, from the leader of the “All-Marco Polo” team (most talented transfer) to the “All-Thomas Edison” team (best creator) to the “All-Florence Nightingale” team (best player returning from injury). These guys are going to be awesome, baby! PLAYER OF […]

Picking my All-America teams was not easy. OK, Luka Garza was an easy pick for the first team, and he is the preseason player of the year. After Garza, you could make a case for numerous players for any of the first three teams. One thing I won’t do is put a diaper dandy on […]
