Oh yes - I do remember! I even bought his rookie FB card - not sure where I even put it - not sure I care! LOL

Update: Sorry! I was thinking Dazz Newsome! Where is the guy now?

Dazz! Hardly remembered him at all! Looks like he was a 6th rounder and sounds like he's in the Canadian Football league now. He was no Dez White!

It would appear that high scoring (DII) transfer Cameron McDowell is still uncommitted & mentions Bradley- averaged 16 ppg, hit 52.3% overall, 38%. from 3-pt & 84% on FT.
He started his career at Georgia and isn’t it about time we got one back from them?

Modestas Kanclaris- 6'9" junior forward from Lithuania who is transferring to UIC from Cal State-Bakersfield. He initially committed to Creighton in 2021 and redshirted his first year there 2020-21 due to a torn ACL. As a redshirt-freshman at Creighton in 2021-22, he rarely played and averaged just 0.2 ppg in 14 games. He then transferred to Cal State-Bakersfield and played 2022-23 and 2023-24 there. As a sophomore in 2022-23, he averaged 5.8 ppg and 5.8 rpg, and in 2023-24 he averaged 6.5 ppg and 6.1 rpg. Because he was enrolled during the 2020-21 Covid season, he could have 2 years of eligibility left.

Put this in the category of guys I didn't realize still had eligibility:

@TiptonEdits
NEWS: Washington State transfer guard Joseph Yesufu has committed to West Virginia, reuniting with his former head coach Darian DeVries, his agent
@DanielPoneman tells @On3sports. Yesufu began his career at Drake under DeVries before transferring to Kansas for two seasons.

[houstonbrave]

2 yrs at Drake , 2 yrs at Kansas, transferred to Washington State - started 6 games then hurt his hip and redshirted so this should be the final year for Yesufu.

[yoda]

For a small, sub-6ft guard with low shooting percentages (career 31.3% from 3-pt),
he has only 127 TOTAL assists in his entire 5-season career!
(Roughly what every point guard in the MVC gets EACH SEASON! -Duke Deen had 136 this year, & seven players had more - Xavier Johnson had 196)
He’ll do better in the Valley, half the MVC teams don’t even defend little guards all that well, check the Feb 21 BU game against Missouri State.

LeBron James' son is reportedly making almost $5 million in NIL- https://www.essentiallysports.com/ca...usc-teammates/

There's even WBB players earning considerably more than $3 mil - https://www.essentiallysports.com/nc...m-nfl-legends/

Maaaaaannnn...I gotta keep my 4th grade son set on his goal to get a D-1 basketball scholly! Definitely would pay dividends! (even if he gets a little NIL, getting a free ride for academics would be UNREAL...and even better to find a way on the BU roster!
