We still have a long way to go before we know exactly what the SEC is going to look like in basketball next season. Too many players with their names in the draft without hiring an agent, and Kentucky is still bringing in and saying goodbye to players.
So let’s catch you up on the league’s [...]
Since we’ve now dispensed with the NFL draft, an update on the NBA draft status of Devan Downey and Dominique Archie is only appropriate.
Of course, there really is none. Not yet, at least.
Both players are still attending classes, from what I’ve heard. They can begin working out for NBA teams on Thursday, but will probably [...]
Given the relative interest of each sport around here, few figured they would see the day that the football coach at one of the state’s two major schools was earning the same or less than both of the major basketball coaches. But such is the case, apparently.
The contract for Clemson’s Dabo Swinney was released Thursday, [...]
We’ve been a bit delinquent lately in updating the roster movement in SEC basketball. Well, with the NBA early entry deadline coming Saturday, this is a good chance.
Here’s a team-by-team list of who has declared – none of whom have hired an agent yet – and a brief comment on the chances they will return.
ARKANSAS
F-C [...]
It looks like the South Carolina men’s basketball team will be headed back to Charleston next season, but under more ideal circumstances than last year.
Coach Darrin Horn told a Gamecock Club meeting on Tuesday night that the Gamecocks would “probably” play in an exempt tournament in Charleston. He wasn’t more specific, but he almost certainly [...]
The entire text of a letter Mike Morgan sent to fans on Tuesday night, care of a few of us in the media:
To the Gamecock Nation:
I am writing to pass along my greatest thanks and appreciation for your support and devotion over the years. You have made this an extremely enjoyable experience for me, one [...]
Like most of you, I was pretty surprised Monday night to hear that Mike Morgan had been let go from his radio duties. Morgan had been the play-by-play announcer for South Carolina basketball since 2003, and for USC baseball since 2000.
Morgan was let go first on Monday by ISP, the radio home of USC athletics, [...]
The smoke hasn’t cleared on 2009 hoops recruiting (thanks, Kentucky). But just to catch everyone up, I thought I’d post the rankings for the SEC’s incoming freshman.
SEC-bound players ranked in the Rivals.com top 150 (adjusted on Wednesday), and whom they signed with:
2. DeMarcus Cousins, F-C (Kentucky)
12. Kenny Boynton, G (Florida)
15. John Jenkins, SG (Vanderbilt)
29. Reginald [...]
As I’ve said, the expectation right now is Dominique Archie will be back next season. Devan Downey is a murkier question.
So I thought I’d sketch out the rotation for all four possible scenarios. There are still other unknowns – whether another recruit is added, or there’s an unforeseen departure from the team – but for [...]
The first reaction a lot of folks will have upon finding out Dominique Archie declared for the draft will be “Huh? Really?” That’s forgiveable, given he’s an unlikely draft pick.
But I can assure you, from having dealt with him for three seasons and spoken to those close to him, that Archie is not a delusional [...]
