We're now fewer than 100 days from the start of next season. So I had to put out a top-100 player list of my own. Check out my top 100 impact transfer rankings from the offseason, with an SEC team landing the No. 1 spot.

NCAA Basketball: Ranking of top 100 impact transfers for 2024-25 season

The NCAA Basketball transfer portal has been wild for the past few years but with there officially being no more restrictions on players being able to move arou

“Texas isn’t the No. 5 team in the country.” “UCLA isn’t the No. 2 team in the country.” How about it’s because they’re playing the No. 1 team in the country? If you’re still denying how good Gonzaga is, you’re blind.

Y’all know how I’m anti blaming the refs. For them to call a T and then allow Mulkey to get away with her antics is disgraceful.

I have cancelled my @ESPNPlus subscription until those hacks fire @finebaum The way they have covered this whole Michigan situation is disgusting and one sided with zero journalistic integrity. @hulu @DisneyPlus you guys are next.

And y’all thought CBB offseasons was boring. Also Duquesne might get Bronny cause of this.

I’m gonna be watching Dayton games all season just to see Nate Santos develop into an All-A10 player. He’s been so good so far for them.

Is it crazy for me to say that if Gonzaga wins this they have the No. 1 seed in the west region locked up? Would have wins over Arizona, Oregon and Washington along with likely 30 wins in regular season.

Duquesne is a mostly African-American team. BYU fans on Cougarboard noticed.

Some whispers on this. I’ll just say that Auburn needs a wing if that’s a hint.

A reliable source tells me that a key Tennessee player will transfer, but I hesitate to say the name bc I haven't received confirmation from the player.

My mother passed away this evening, thankfully without any more pain. I grew up without a father so I appreciate everything you were able to do for me. I just hate that I only got 31 years with you. Hopefully, I can use the next 30+ years to show you raised me well. I love you.

An argument can be made that Pitt lost when UNC missed its first 11 shots of the game and the Panthers were only up by 3. Needed to be up double-digits and it cost them.

Not trying to start something, but Gonzaga stole a top-60 recruit from favorite Arizona just by making an offer. Home-ties certainly matter but we've reached the point where Gonzaga can compete head-to-head with any western targets outside of Los Angeles going forward.

For the first time since 1977, the Duquesne Dukes are going to the NCAA Tournament!! They beat VCU 57-51, led by Dae Dae Grant with 10 points and 8 players with 5+ pts each. No City Game with Pittsburgh cause Duquesne is going dancing!

@Bracketologist3 I’d argue that Gonzaga hasn’t won a national title because only 4 of the last 22 teams were good enough and they were just unlikely those years to win it. If competition mattered that much they they’d get knocked out in the Round of 32 much more often.

Upset alert: DePaul currently leads South Dakota, 44-33 with 15 minutes left. Would be huge for the Big East if the Blue Demons could beat a D-1 opponent.

Conducted my second-ever interview with a D-1 head coach and just talked hoops with @gwizzy12 and @itsAntWright on Spotify Live this morning. Wasn’t too long ago when I was afraid of talking in public out of fear I sounded stupid. Been a real year of growth in that department.
