Around College Basketball

Below is a long, but informative article that appeared on CBS Sports entitled "How transfer portal, NIL reshaping college basketball recruiting has dropped value of high school prospects ..... 'Freshmen are a bad investment. They're all rentals,' one Division I coach told CBS Sports"

The article discusses the lower value which frosh recruiting now has in men's college basketball.

 

Excerpt from the Athletic (paid site)

“Amid speculation that a move from the Pac-12 to the Big 12 could be imminent, Colorado’s Board of Regents has scheduled a special board meeting for Thursday afternoon.

The Big 12 has been pursuing Colorado as an expansion candidate since last summer, ever since commissioner Brett Yormark was hired last June, and appears to be closing in on bringing the former member back into the conference while the Pac-12’s yearlong negotiations for a new media rights deal continue into August.”

This makes sense for both parties since Colorado never caught on in the Pac 12.

The name Deon Sanders alone could open the door for more teams to join the Big 12.
