Memphis is playing UAB right now. It features a meeting between ex-Johnnie David Jones and our ex-Johnnie commit Yaxel Landeborg. Both players seem to playing pretty well in the game so far. Landeborg has turned out to be quite a D1 player averaging nearly a double double for UAB and is already got 18 points and 12 rebounds in this game.
Say what you want about Mike Anderson and his regime but they seemed to find undervalued talent like Landeborg.

Jones wound up with 9 turnovers but also had 24 points, as the leading scorer, 9 rebounds, 7 steals, 3 assists and shot 57 % from 3 (4 for 7). Lendeborg led the way for a 97 to 88 UAB victory topping them in all of the following categories: 23 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 turnovers and 2 blocks.
Impressive!
Damn almost a quadruple double !

I can understand Pitino wanting to clean house and change the culture but perhaps he should at least have had Yaxel for a visit? He woukd certainly seem to have been a positive addition to this front court. Oh well, no sense crying over spilled milk.
As to Yaxel, it could have been about the minutes behind Joel rather than being the starter. From Day 1, Coach Rick seemed to indicate that Joel was the certerpiece/main man for the 23/24 season.
(And yet not an actual double double.)
(But the 7 steals, 9 boards, 4 for 7 from 3, and 24 points are very impressive.)
(Despite Jones’s heroics, Memphis keeps losing.)

Ridiculous post. Imagine Storr and Jones being coached by Pitino….
It seems like our old buddy Andre Curbelo got off to late, but decent start for Southern Miss. However, after five pretty good efforts he only played 3 minutes against University Louisiana Monroe on January 11th.
Since then he hasn't been heard from.
Does anyone know if he is injured?
Or is it related to something else?

Thanks for letting me know LJSA.
Sorry to hear it!
That is really too bad.
He struggled with concussions at Illinois too.
It is not a good thing as it relates to one's long-term health and wellness.
I don’t know if Jones could fit into a Pitino system —certainly not alongside Jenkins — but Storr fits everywhere.
I think that kid is barely scratching the surface as scary as that sounds.
Would add Lendenborg to those two.
Precious was a useful throw in, in the OG trade. Originally he was just taking Taj Gibson's minutes but with the injuries he is getting a lot of minutes. Not much of an offensive threat but a good rebounder.
