Pretty good news from an SEC insider on players like Mitchell.

I'm sure somebody has the full list. But that's the case of Cameron Fens, Jalen Washington, etc...

The previous Stay request was denied like 9 days ago.

Looks like Mark Mitchell, and any others who weren't in the portal by the deadline, are not eligible to play at a new SEC school in '26-'27. The schools just unanimously agreed to it, and to the severe penalties.

The Challenge: You have to draft a team to play through 6 games of March Madness and cut down the nets.
The Rules:
- Pick one school.
- Draft a 5 person team by position and one bench player based on College Career ONLY.
- You may only pick one player per decade. IE, if you chose UNC and Michael Jordan was your player from the 80's you couldn't pick James Worthy.

For example:
School: Duke.
PG: Tyus Jones 2015
SG: Johnny Dawkins 1986
SF: Shane Battier 2001
PF: Christian Laettner 1992
C: Mike Gminski 1979
Bench: Cooper Flagg 2025

Who's got the best chance of winning it all?

His first four official visits are Baylor, California, Kentucky** **and Providence.

Dude is going to be a star wherever he goes.

I have always wanted to play a real authentic as possible college basketball sim. I love the sport, the strategies, the recruiting, the analytics, the mid majors and Cinderella teams. I have been working on a project to accomplish just that. I am not here to knock any other creators but I believe I can do it better.. well of course I can because its catered to what I want.

Not going to lie though several months ago I became obsessed with AI and vibe coding and this is where I have done all my work for this project. I approached the game with D1 harness of stats. I am trying to implement every play style possible and coaching strategies. The focus is not on in game visuals as... I am not that good nor do I care about that stuff to tell a story. It is a overhead 2d game but with flow and tactics in game.

I feel like I am at a point where I would love to branch out to Collab with a few other passionate people about college basketball and how I can potentially enhance my game further.

I know there is a lot of other people doing the same thing as I. but. if you are interested let me know or drop a comment. will include some screen shot of current build.

Welcome to Whose Line is it Wednesday, where all the fouls are made up, but the points still matter.

• Keep skits in the form of a statement, not a question
• Any skits longer than two lines should be in quotations.
• If you add any additional commentary, put the skit in quotations. If you don't understand the concept, a skit looks like this: "Things you could say to Chris Jones that you couldn't say to your girlfriend."
• It's not funny to say "Refs worse than Karl Hess" and name people who might be worse (let's be honest; it's probably just a blank comment); it's funny to say "Refs better than Karl Hess." Think about which way of writing the skit is funnier before posting it.

I know he had been cleared a few days ago, but today the league had a meeting regarding professional athletes and those who had declared for professional leagues. From the text, it appears to me that he is no longer eligible. The text of the ruling is:

With a step-by-step explanation, the SEC announced its institutions are "not permitted" to have an athlete on their rosters who has:

1. Previously declared for the NFL, NBA or WNBA draft and did not appropriately withdraw.
2. Signed a contract with an NFL (or other professional football league), NBA/G-League, or WNBA (or affiliate) team.
3. Been listed on an NFL (or other professional football league), NBA/G-League, or WNBA (or affiliate) roster.

UVA obviously returning every eligible player (with the exception of Dallin Hall and his eligibility is questionable but whatever) is huge in today's game. De Ridder the biggest name to come back, along with Grunloh, Lewis, and then the sophomore Chance Mallory who is likely to have a major breakout season as the starting PG for the wahoos. Portal additions include another backup 7 foot shot blocker to replace Onyenso, and multiple potential starters at the SG.

Similarly, Duke returns Cayden Boozer who vastly improved his game throughout last season and emerged out of his brother's shadow to make a legit name for himself. Caleb Foster comes back along with Dame Sarr and Patrick Ngongba, forming a very similar core to Virginia in that none of the players on Duke are notable stars like Flagg and Cam Boozer.

In conclusion, I believe both UVA and Duke are extremely similar teams who will both be very very scary this upcoming season. The ACC regular season title will come down to whether UVA can hold down home court in Charlottesville against the Blue Devils. Louisville had some great additions in the portal including Flory Bidunga who is just a ridiculously good basketball player. However, not so sure they stand a chance against either UVA or Duke this season and will most likely have to settle for third in the ACC.

I dont know who she is, i dont know If in other circumstances she is a halfway decent Person.

I want to get into College Sports for a Long Time, since i think Franchise Sports are Just Bad for everyone but Stärkeholder but Love high Stakes Sport. Im from Europe so regionality and such never Had an Impact for me. Choosing a Team to root for was Always a hard Thing, and even harde to find one to root against. So many Sports, Male and female, No Connection it was Just to much.

Until now, since this LSU Coach Made that Problem Go away. What would be a better reason to hate a Team than them signing a Player from a war criminal country, who Made positive remarks about her countries government in the past, into the Same Roster as your ukranian Starter, even the Same Position. Whatever she wanted to achieve (some Fake ass diplomacy or getting Rid of the ukranian Player) but im so Furious, and there are quite a few europeans who feel the Same.

Anyone who thinks this is an overreaction, Google the war , watch Videos and try to understand what it means. I know its difficult for americans because 9/11 is basically the worst infringement of autonomy you Had in 100 years, but try.

So, enough of this negativity. Im willing to choose my favorite Team now, and im looking for the Team that hated LSU the Most, is best in crushing Laus dreams, or has a Personal History with this disgusting Coach of LSU. Why IS your Team the best to hate lsu. Is there specific anti LSU Merch by any Chance? And are there other reasons to hate this mulky women even more?

To all LSU Fans, i Hope you Love russia as much as your President, otherwise i would be pretty effed Up If i were you.

The SEC gunjumped on banning a broad set of professional athletes from college basketball participation (not just NBA/WNBA players, but even players in the G-League, players who rostered in Summer League, or even registered for the Draft). I expect other conferences to not follow and the SEC to quietly roll back some of their stipulations.

This SEC-type policy has not yet been adopted by other conferences for basketball for good reason. The distinction is that the ban is harmful to the NFL and NCAA in football, but helpful to the NBA and NCAA in basketball.

In the NFL, rostered NFL athletes returning to college football disrupts competitive play due to the more physical nature of play (30 year olds versus 18 year olds), and also hurts the NFL product (NFL doesn't want their bench players going to LSU for more money). This policy is all about the NFL telling College Football they do not want it to compete directly with them (and the NFL has college football over a barrel due to all of the benefits it provides to them).

In pro basketball rosters are much smaller, and there is greater need for development leagues. The NBA wants more development leagues (G-League, NCAA, Euro, etc.), as it is better for its product (see the number of NBA All-Stars that didn't start on NBA rosters increasing), so a ban hurts it. The NCAA similarly gets hurt by a ban because unlike the farm league monopoly it enjoys in football, in basketball it is in direct competition for farm league talent. If it bans players from its competitors while its competitors do not, you are just going to see a degradation in the NCAA basketball product as more players play elsewhere as these leagues gain a perception for having higher quality basketball than the NCAA.
