Kingston Flemings was the perfect fit @UHCougarMBK AND got better as season progressed.
Did I mention that Flemings is FAST?
Top 8 pick.
May 20
Kingston Flemings is one of the most dynamic guards in the 2026 NBA Draft class. Flemingsā BPM of 12.6 sits atop of BartTorvikās scoring PG ranks for freshman dating back to 2008. Dynamite athlete with high feel and two way impact.

When I heard about thešš„my reax was similar to some the replies: Why not on campus? Unfortunately, that's not possible b/c leagues own TV rights to non-con home games. Barring an unprecedented media agreement between those huge companies, it's a no-go. Has to be neutral sites.

Darius Acuff led the SEC in APG.
Heās THE best lob passer in this draft class.
But this is my favorite pass he made this past season at Arkansas.
It takes elite court mapping & strength to make this pass mid-air.
- Vision
- IQ
- Strength
- Speed
- Handle
Acuff has it all.

I highly encourage anyone who has struggled with knee pain to take the time and research the work of Ben Patrick.

The analytical case for drafting AJ Dybantsa #1 overall in the NBA Draft:
Ranked 5th in nation in post up scoring efficiency (min 190 poss) AND 4th in nation in P&R scoring efficiency (min 75 poss). @SynergySST
Thatās how difficult it was to prepare to defend him this season.

People, rightly, always focus on the elite scoring ability of Darius Acuff.

Braden Smith just tested at a 38.5ā max vertical jump.
This is tied for 8th best at the NBA Combine.
The fact people couldnāt see that he was an athlete at Purdue just means they werenāt actually watching.

All great gamesā¦ but deep down you know that High Point vs Saint Louis game is going to be awesome.
May 14
Flynn Clayman went viral during the NCAAT for barking back at scheduling discrimination.
It worked.
High Point will play LSU, Saint Louis, George Mason, Miami U and more next season. A coup for mid-major hoops. Clayman gives @CBSSports an exclusive look: cbssports.com/college-basketā¦

More: Opening round will be split between at-large auto bids, expanding out current First Four format. All 16-seeds and half the 15s will be slotted into the Tuesday/Wednesday of the opening round. The other half will be a mix depending on team quality. 11s, 12s and maybe a 13.
