I'm trying to play ball again.

[Hank Plona @HankPlona_WKU]

For 2.5 years, I’ve asked Coach Richards after practice, “Well, what do you think?”

Always.. he would encourage, support, and instill confidence in me that great success is in our near future.

I know it is.. “Beat em, Bust em, That’s our custom”

Miss you Coach ❤️ Go Tops

Jim Richards, standing in front of the players while press conference is ongoing: "I'll be better looking from the back than you all are from the front."

Absolute legend.

[Martin Cross @martincross10]

A true legend. I can’t rightfully describe the impact Coach has had on the WKU Basketball program & each person who has ever been a part of it. His genuine positivity & belief in each individual was unmatched. No one loved WKU & the people that embody the university more. I never once saw Coach have a bad day & he always had a positive outlook regardless of the situation. The practice gym will now have a void that can’t be replaced, but his spirit & legacy will live on. ❤️

Coastal Carolina QB Deuce Bailey has had quite the start to the 2026 season 👀

Through 2 Games:
- 576 Passing Yards
- 6 TDs
- 0 Interceptions
- 163.3 Passer Rating

Bailey is looking like a steal out of the portal for CCU

Bones Hyland says Russ once told him he’d walk into the Clippers locker room wearing his Top 75 jacket after Ty Lue only played him 10 minutes in a game 😭:

“He said ‘yo Bizzy, they got me fcked up. I’m finna walk in this b*tch with my Top 75 jacket on like y’all n***** see this shit? Stop playing with me.’ I was in tears, bro”.

Austin Rivers was born to mentor young people

After leaving ABCD Camp, his takeaway was the importance of having a “Next play mentality and not letting mistakes compound by having bad body language”

Can make a break a young players journey

JUST IN: The Milwaukee Bucks will be retiring No. 34 in honor of Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @JWeinbachNBA

Legend.

Western Kentucky forward Grant Newell is scheduled to work out for the Orlando Magic on Tuesday, sources tell me.

Newell has already completed pre-draft workouts with the Phoenix Suns and Brooklyn Nets.

The 6'9" Chicago native averaged 13.0 PPG and 4.5 RPG last season at WKU.

[NextUpRecruits @NextUpRecruits]

2028 - 6’0 PG Randal Hulbert (@randal_hulbert) of Warren Central (KY) is a name to watch as a breakout candidate this season in KY.

Crafty lead guard who plays with good pace and loves playing around a ball screen. Has a smooth shot and good pull up in his bag.

2027 6’7 @ArmaniByrd14 … 👀👀👀👀👀👀 it’s coming…

[One Motive Sports @OneMotiveSports]

Grant Newell is one of the biggest sleepers in this Draft class. Period.

The 6’9” SF/PF from Western Kentucky @WKUBasketball has been lights out during the first 5 days of our NBA Pre-Draft training!

Has very real NBA positional size and shooting ability. Guys built like this that shoot like this are not something you see everyday.

Getting better by the day and garnering the NBA attention and interest to come along with it!

One to watch for sure!
