At least this year you start to see a core of guys who have at least practiced together in CBG’s first year who seen now eligible; Laquincey Rideau, TJ Lang and Alexis Yetna. Hopefully they can work with Collins, Brown and Big Nik to improve what they had last season. I’ll always be optimistic with basketball because one or two guys can turn around a program or they could start clicking at any moment, but I won’t judge CBG until likely 2019.

I sure hope it's not one of those factories that result in NCAA penalties down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, but there is this with Kiir: Kiir was given a "leave of absence" from the team in January when freshman Galen Alexander was also suspended and Wade announced he wasn't going to return to the team. At the time, Wade said "we are going to give Kiir some time, just like most young kids and young men and young freshmen need as they adjust to some of the pressures of college." But on Monday (March 26) at his season-ending press conference, Wade said Kiir would not return to the team. I don't remember the story behind KG leaving LSU but don't think it was something like this. Fingers crossed that whatever adjustments Mayan needed, he made them.

Their website: http://www.victoryrockprep.com/ They've got the prominently displayed Adidas logo, what could go wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"USF's stand is we accepted him based on his LSU transcript. He did need a lot of tutoring, though."
