Karim Mane becomes the eighth 2020 prospect to skew college entirely with the pro route in mind. Similar decisions of late are just the tip of the iceberg for future years. This is a new age in recruiting. How colleges go about pursuing the elite will be of great interest.


Not to start an argument but I thought Fever said that very few would do it? And this is only year 1

It probably hurts the blue bloods and big time cheaters more than anyone. They're the ones who are going to get burned the most. Everyone else will likely keep recruiting the kind of kids they have been.

Karim Mane could’ve headed to Marquette, Michigan State, any of the remaining programs involved and been an immediate impact.

A source told @Stockrisers that NBA scouts love his upside and wouldn’t be surprised if he landed in the first-round.

Initially but they'll adjust like before 2002. UCONN stole Emeka Okafor from Vanderbilt.

Is COVID affecting decisions now though? It’s easy to suppose the season doesn’t happen on time or even at all (though that may be a stretch) while the NBA is telling the kids “look at Disney. We will figure out a way to play.” That plus the paycheck in hand is better than a strong arse offer.

Creighton virtually met with four-star sophomore Chandler Jackson today, he told @Stockrisers. They’ve completed several, as have Alabama, who will speak with him soon as well.

Five-star sophomore Caleb Houstan has indeed reclassified into the 2021 class, his coach confirms to @Stockrisers. Duke, Alabama, Texas Tech, amongst the 20+ programs involved in his recruitment.

Wesley Cardet’s bruising style resulted in 22 points and 7 rebounds against Team Huncho. He’s one of the strongest guards I’ve seen so far this summer. Cardet ramped up his production in the 2nd half to bring Breakdown back from a halftime deficit for a nice win. Great effort.


I think I really want us to sign this kid.

Doug Shows is licking his chops at the thought of this guy in Crimson.

Even Joe West thinks that a-hole makes the game too much about himself.

I want to thank WKU staff for recruiting me. But with everything going on in the world I’d like to announce I’ll be de-committing from WKU and officially re-opening my recruitment. Respect my decision.


2021 KeShawn Murphy from Birmingham. Pettway is his recruiter, but not sure how serious or hard we've recruited him.

I’ve been hearing about this kid for years. Kinda surprised me when he announced for WKU. Supposedly he’s a pretty good ball handler for his height and passes the ball well. Not sure about his shot. Would love to see us go after him, especially with him being an in-state kid.

First time watching top-10 guard Hunter Sallis this summer...talent is something else. Hasn’t stopped growing, longer, much improved three-level scorer and still a capable playmaker. All the traits of a star at the next level and beyond.

Oats and Hodgson might pull top 30 player Malakai Branham. If he didn’t live in Ohio he would 100% be ours. If they steal him they are ELITE recruiters

Where did you see that? I think we are one of his finalists but the only crystal ball is to OSU.

Per @247Sports’ Brian Snow, Malaki Branham is nearing a decision. While Ohio State is the presumptive leader, Alabama is reportedly making a strong late push to land the 2021 top-30 SG.
