Kansas basketball pursues 2020 five-star recruits Scottie Barnes and Cade Cunningham

Considered a top-10 recruit in the 2020 class, Cade Cunningham is a 6-foot-6 point guard who can score at will but also serves as a good facilitator.

Where Will 2019's Final Uncommitted Five-Star Basketball Recruits Land?

Precious Achiuwa, a 6’9” forward, can score in a variety of ways. His highlight reel is on par with the best in the country, but his consistency has been questioned. After the commitment of Boogie Ellis earlier this week, Memphis is running out of roster spots for all these elite recruits, but Achiuwa would fit right in with the early favorites in the AAC in 2019–20.

Love for LeBron James connects Memphis basketball assistant Mike Miller to 5-star Ziaire Williams

Five-star forward Ziaire Williams always has been a fan of LeBron James. But with that fandom – which he described as die-hard – comes another type of loyalty. "As a LeBron fan, especially when he was in Miami, you have to be a Mike Miller fan, too," said Williams, a 2020 5-star basketball recruit. "So when he first texted me, I was like, 'No way, that's Coach Mike.'" (Memphis Commercial Appeal)

Five schools poised to benefit from John Beilein's Michigan departure

A coach who closely matches John Beilein in temperament, recruiting strategy, and ability to evaluate and develop talent for his system is Virginia coach Tony Bennett. Bennett competed with Beilein most recently for Michigan signee Cole Bajema and if he were to reopen things, I’d bet Bennett and the Cavaliers would be all over the Washington product. (Rivals.com)

Over the last three days, Hardaway and his staff have also added top 50 player Lester Quinones as well as graduate transfer Rayjon Tucker. (Memphis Commercial Appeal)
