@andresitof10 shooting 8-for-11 3PT 🏀🎯 to beat a team coached by Tony Parker in the EuroLeague.

Great to see Illinois legends excelling in the second-best competition after the NBA.

“I asked Andres Feliz if he was going to miss a three-pointer, and he was like, ‘I’m playing against my idol.’ Now I understand why he made 8 threes!” 😂🔥

Tony Parker is the reason Andres Feliz knocked down 8 threes tonight! 😂🔥

[Edgars Indzeris @EdgarsIndzeris]

@trentfrazier is cooking in the EuroLeague!
State of Michigan knows how this tastes. 💪🎯

Buy-in or overwhelming pressure?

Imagine knowing your NBA legend coach @Iam1Cent personally put millions of dollars into building the roster you're part of.

Even if he never brings it up, that has to add another level of pressure

How do you separate gratitude from obligation?

Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway contributed $2.6M of his own salary to the Tigers' NIL collective for the 2026-27 season.

“We had $5 million, and then I had to put $2.6 million of my own to try and build the roster up.”

[Edgars Indzeris @EdgarsIndzeris]

Penny Hardaway putting $2.6 MILLION of his own 💵 into @Memphis_MBB just to stay competitive.

A head coach paying millions to build a roster for the team he's employed to coach.

NIL and revenue sharing are one thing, but this is getting bizarre.

Where does it go from here?

NEW: Everything Penny Hardaway told me during my exclusive interview about his $2.6 million contribution to Memphis' revenue sharing amount.

Raivo Kudrjavcevs, a 6’5” point guard from Latvia, has committed to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (NCAA Division I)

Raivo currently represents Ekselences Centrs in the LAT-EST Basketball League and competed for Latvia’s U18 National Team in summer. @raivokudrjavces

“They” will ALWAYS have something to say.

Go D1…”they” will criticize you for not going high major

Go D2…”they” will criticize you for not going D1

Go NAIA…”they” will criticize you for not going D2

Go D3….”they” will say you weren’t good enough for a scholarship

Don’t listen to what “they” say….”they” don’t have to love your life and are likely jealous of YOUR blessing & opportunity!

[Edgars Indzeris @EdgarsIndzeris]

Márcio Santos heads to @Baskonia with his NCAA eligibility unresolved.

For international athletes, uncertainty carries a cost: time, planning and opportunity.

A college commitment isn’t eligibility clearance. Athletes deserve clear answers before making career moves.

[Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops]

One of LSU’s international players has opted to return overseas.

Brazilian forward Marcio Santos, 23, who played for Maccabi Tel Aviv last season, has reportedly signed a 2-year deal with Kosner Baskonia in Spain.

[Edgars Indzeris @EdgarsIndzeris]

@JeremyEvans09 @ktausk13 @JWerner247 3pt shoot is not at the level of last couple of season bigs but would be great to see him in orange and blue.

[Edgars Indzeris @EdgarsIndzeris]

@ktausk13 A Latvian-American playing for Illini would be great.

[Edgars Indzeris @EdgarsIndzeris]

@Aminata67383257 detention while travelling with her team raises a question:
Who helps international athletes when immigration, travel, healthcare, and college sports overlap?

When recruiting globally. Need to support globally.

Latvia may have one of Europe’s most interesting 2008 wing groups 🇱🇻

Ričards Aizpurs→ @TCUBasketball
Gunārs Grīnvalds→ @UCLAMBB
One more worth tracking: Rihards Čerņevskis.
At 6'5 his movement, shooting, off-ball feel and ability to attack closeouts add him to the discussion.

NDP’S FINAL 2008-BORN RANKINGS!

First group of the top 30 players from or playing in Europe post FIBA and ANGT play. Multiple CBB commits and pro club commitments within this bunch, with fun long term upside. As their U18 cycle ends, here’s where they stand to me

[Pascal Meurs @PascalMeurs]

All 3 men's youth EuroBaskets won by countries of 2M people

🇸🇮 SLO U20 🥇
🇸🇮 SLO U18 🥇
🇱🇻 LAT U16 🥇

Small countries & talent pools. No demographic advantage. Huge results

Food for thought ⏳

With the right vision, development and execution, size doesn't define your ceiling

[Edgars Indzeris @EdgarsIndzeris]

@trentfrazier Step by step making BIG career. Congratulations!

[Edgars Indzeris @EdgarsIndzeris]

International student-athletes don't just cross borders.

They navigate new cultures, new education systems, visa limitations, NIL rules, and often entirely different career pathways.

A worthwhile read from @timothyfbryson

For international players who play on professional teams, years of eligibility could be docked from their ledger if they’re allowed to play at all! ‼️

Yet another NCAA rule change - new year, new adjustment. 🤯
#NIL #Internationalstudenathletes

[Kevin Sweeney @CBB_Central]

New guidance issued by the NCAA to schools earlier this month opens the door for a crackdown on the tidal wave of international pros hoping to head to college basketball. Players from top leagues could face added scrutiny.

Statement from NCAA enclosed:

The NIL part no one wants to talk about. 🧐
4 ex-football players of FAU are being sued over alleged NIL contract breaches - after transfers.

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

Another Euro pro coming to play college basketball.

Interestingly, he kept his name in the 2024 NBA draft.

Under new NCAA rules going into effect tomorrow, you lose your eligibility if you don’t withdraw from the NBA draft.

Will it apply to Ellis?

[Edgars Indzeris @EdgarsIndzeris]

Brilliant explanation. 👌
I wish every international student-athlete would know about the options they have.

[Blake Lawrence @Blake_Lawrence]

International athletes often require added structure and expertise to navigate NIL rules.

What role can third-party licensing solutions or collectives play for international athletes?

[Edgars Indzeris @EdgarsIndzeris]

European bigs have always been on high demand due to their game IQ and shooting capabilities. With NIL money it's more interesting, also for players to play in NCAA.
