D1 summer sessions are about to start and still over 2K+ in portal and blowing off NAIAs and D2s .. 👀🐸🍵

[Eric Harris Sr @Harris61096Eric]

It’s that time that D1’s are filling their final 1 or 2 spots so they’re not looking for rotation players but roster fillers. If that’s cool with you sign up but if you can play and want to contribute D2 & NAIA good programs stop stalling.

I got a chance to talk with Langston University’s new Head Men’s Basketball Coach, Sam Kohnke at Langston University’s private reception for Coach Kohnke.

Kohnke won the 2026 Sooner Athletic Conference Tournament at Oklahoma City University

Before OCU he was at Central Baptist college in Arkansas.
