Below are standout prospects that put forth an outstanding performance in th

Louisville and Boston College faced off in a conference-play contest, as BC looked to earn their first ACC win of the season and the Cardinals attempted to bounce back from a home loss to the Duke Blue Devils this past Tuesday. Sophomore guard Luka Toews set the tone for the Golden Eagles, hitting a three-pointer and two mid-range pull-ups for a quick 8 points. Boston College took advantage of Louisville missing quality looks early on, spreading the ball around and hitting co

The G-League’s growth over the last several years has been impossible to ignore, and attending the 2025 G-League Winter Showcase in Orlando, Florida only reinforced just how far the league has come. From the moment the games tipped off, it was clear that this is no longer the same developmental league many of us remember from its earlier days. The overall brand, the quality of play, and the intent behind the basketball being played have all taken a significant step forward. H

The 2025 G-League Winter Showcase was a whirlwind of players, coaches, and executives gathering in Orlando, Florida to demonstrate the often unnoticed grind that runs concurrent to the flashy lights of the NBA season on a bigger stage. For the eight teams that played in the Playoffs of the Showcase, each game was a chance to earn respect, consideration for mid-season contracts, and a piece of the $100,000 cash prize set aside for the winning team. The Salt Lake City Stars wou

The 2025 G-League Winter Showcase brought forth an culmination of some off the most intriguing prospects that our organization has been evaluating, analyzing, and following for the past three draft cycles. From former first round picks, to the the overlooked undrafted signings, the amount of NBA caliber talent on display at this event, further proved how much untapped potential remains, stowed away rom the average basketball fan. It was an absolute pleasure to see some of our

Walking into the 2025 NBA G League Showcase, it’s easy to get caught up in the games themselves, the pace, the matchups, the urgency of players fighting for 10-day contracts or call-ups. But after spending time on the ground this year, one thing became abundantly clear: the G League Showcase is less about what happens between the lines and more about what happens in the hallways, hotel lobbies, and courtside conversations. Yes, basketball is the entry point. But the Showcase

As the greater Philadelphia metro is known for being the stomping grounds of many great basketball legends, as well as the home of a unique concentration of storied Division 1 programs, makes any opportunity, to see an collection of talent from across the Big East, American, A-10, and Ivy League, conference's, all in one building, that much more worthwhile. It was an absolute pleasure for our very own Jared Williams , not only to attend, but to further note any impactful ath

While on site in Birmingham, AL, and witnessing a clash between two of last years, Final Four, teams, I came away with even more questions regarding each team's overall performance, and projection, going forward into the season, ahead of the Player's Era Tournament, in which both Auburn, and Houston, will be participating in. Without a doubt the Houston Cougars defense proved, once more, how effective they are, not only at minimizing their opponents scoring opportunities, but

When it comes down to securing any marginal means of advantage, to successfully construct a Final Four caliber roster, let alone a competitive one, in todays modern collegiate game, any non conventional means of identifying high level talent, especially in overlooked levels of the game, and geographies, can become that slight bit of leverage needed to separate the elite teams, from championship ones. Cardinals Coach, Pat Kelsey, has utilized his understanding of this, to buil

With the dynamic changes in how collegiate rosters, are constructed, and with seasonal turnover, creating vacuums' of talent being drained in and spat out to other programs, leaving locker rooms in disarray, and undermanned, the value of being able to have a stable, recurring, and trusted, cast, is a fleeting commodity in our day and age of collegiate basketball. However, for a Power Four Team, the task of maintaining a secure roster that can handle the intensity of their res

While several marquee basketball dominant athletic programs, across the NCAA landscape, have made significant fortification towards resourcing their programs, almost to the point of creating "NBA style" environments, to sustain any incremental advantage to bring about a national championship intention year-over-year, there seems to be a program that is completely bought into their vision, of being able to cut the net in Indianapolis, at the conclusion of the 2025/2026 season.
