My CBB roster tweets grew into 661 pages of college basketball scouting reports. Every guy in the Power Five, MAC, MW, Pac-12, WCC, American & A10, plus one player I found interesting from each team in every other conference. drive.google.com/file/d/1uP-…

The 20 biggest KenPom risers and fallers since opening night.

Some stock up guys from the CBB slate last night.

Justin Menard has been playing really well early for Colorado State. Big portal pickup. Averaged 12.9 PPG, 3.8 APG, 36.3% 3PT and 92.6% FT at Marist last year. Love the starting five CSU is putting out. A lot of talent, a lot of guys who can space the floor. We'll see what they look like once Pac-12 play gets going.

Jelani Hamilton got it going from deep for Florida Atlantic last night. 6'5" Georgia State transfer is a proven bucket getter who also makes plays on defense. 21 PTS on 8/13 FG and 5/8 3PT vs William & Mary. He averaged 17.8 PPG and 1.9 SPG at Georgia State last year.

Jaquay Randolph looked good again last night for Portland State. 6'10" transfer led D2 in rebounding last year. Plays with a really high motor and has a ton of tools. 20.8 PPG, 15.4 RPG, 61% FG, 35.9% 3PT at Southern Wesleyan Heck of a pickup for Portland State.

Love East Carolina's portal pickup of Trevor Best. Barely played at Arizona State (2.2 PPG in 29 games), but he's a long, athletic slasher and I buy the shot. 17 PTS, 6 AST vs NC A&T yesterday. 17.7 PPG, 38.1% 3PT, 1 SPG this season. Not overly physical, but disruptive on D.

I know everyone's giving Quinn Ellis love, but I'll say it again: he's awesome. Really good downhill, takes care of the ball, and he's already done it at a high level in the EuroLeague. 6 PTS, 6 REB, 9 AST, 4 STL, 0 TO vs Colgate last night. That's 27 AST to 2 TO on the season. Great guards win in March. He could be the guy who leads St. John's to the Final Four.

Ranked the top 50 recruits from the 2024, 2025 and 2026 classes. Weighed NBA + college production, accolades, recruiting rank and projection.

Benjamin Bill was a problem for St. Bonaventure last night. 6'10" D-II transfer finishes everything around the rim and protects it on the other end. 28 PTS, 6 REB, 4 BLK on 13/15 FG vs Cornell.

Cash Chavis was a menace on defense for North Texas last night. The 6'2" guard lives in passing lanes and gets downhill. 14 PTS, 6 STL, 2 AST, 1 TO on 5/11 FG vs Santa Clara. He averaged 10.5 PPG, 3.5 APG and 1.2 SPG at UTA last year.

Charles Johnston had a nice game for Furman last night. Not the most physical guy, but he produces, and he's been doing it all year. 12 PTS, 10 REB, 4 AST on 4/9 FG and 4/4 FT vs Holy Cross. Season averages: 12.8 PPG, 8.8 RPG through 4 games.

I'll keep saying it: Junjie Wang is the best NBA Draft prospect in the MAC. 28 PTS, 9 REB on 10/16 FG and 3/7 3PT vs UMass Lowell last night. He's not the most vertical athlete, but he moves his feet well for his size and can guard down a bit. That's the intrigue.

My top 75 defensive systems in CBB. This is based upon the past three seasons using defensive rating, PPG allowed, PTS allowed per 100 possessions, and opponent FG%.

Jibbe Sicking was lights out for UMKC today. 6’8 forward gives them real shooting ability. 21 PTS, 5 REB on 8/13 FG and 5/8 3PT vs FAMU. Shot 37.8% from three overseas last year. UMKC looks much improved under Mark Turgeon.

David Jevtic looks like he’s taking a sophomore jump at FDU. 6’8 guard with good perimeter size and scoring upside. 21 PTS, 8 REB, 3 STL vs East Texas A&M. Shot 32.6% from three last year on 92 attempts. Opened this season 6/12 from deep through 3 games.

Bol Agu was huge for FDU in their overtime win over East Texas A&M today. 18 PTS, 5 REB, 3 OREB on 6/9 FG. Really like his physicality and what he brings defensively. Showed a ton of toughness and made some big plays down the stretch.

Really like Chris Davis Jr. at South Florida. Played a big role as a freshman at Charleston. Last year: 1.4% STL rate, 10.9% DREB rate, 109.5 defensive rating. Think his defensive impact and three point volume both take a jump this year. Real case for him as a pro follow.

The three game stretch Jake Hall has had is unbelievable, but a large part of me thinks he can keep it up to an extent. He is a top 30 NBA draft prospect.

You can tell Ben Oosterbaan played at St. Thomas. Always in the right spot on both ends. Such an impactful player for San Francisco. 16 PTS, 10 REB, 4 OREB on 5/8 FG and 2/4 3PT vs Montana. Was huge in their comeback win last night. Makes so many winning plays.
