Also to note, last year the majority of the starting five were grad transfers or freshmen who’ve never played together. 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 live in Bradenton, work for a school, and have no idea what or where this Victory Rock Prep is where we're getting these kids. I sure hope it's not one of those factories that result in NCAA penalties down the line.

Let's just hope this kid works out as well as our last BB transfer from LSU.

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.

Totally impressed with CBG . I don't even like basketball and I'm getting excited . From what I can see he is performing magic .

Google displays it as a "basketball club".

They've got the prominently displayed Adidas logo, what could go wrong?  :)

The arrow points to LSU first!

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

It looks like a storefront in a strip mall.

Not sure if this is one of those cases, but a lot of these type of "schools" are essentially a club team of kids who are technically being homeschooled and do online work at a facility with someone overseeing it.

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”
