My job now consists of traveling around the midwest (and beyond) to watch basketball...I am living the dream

I learned so much from Malcolm during my UVA years. With his relentless focus, it was so clear he was going to maximize his potential.

I am honored to have had the opportunity to watch him work up close. I have never stopped singing his praises and that won’t stop in retirement.

The PIT mock is back, folks!

Joined forces with @HoopLikeDrazen to map out a 64-prospect field for the 2025 Portsmouth Invitational Tournament.

Double-class with both traditional and COVID super seniors, so should be a great group. https://t.co/o4YH0WZ9gw

The Memphis Grizzlies are converting two-way C Jay Huff on a new four-year standard NBA contract, agent Michael Siegel told me and @BobbyMarks42. The 7-footer has had a strong start to the season, averaging 13 points, 3.3 rebounds, 19 minutes while shooting 57.1 percent from 3.

I owe so much to Coach Bennett.

His staff gave me a chance as an 18 year old in need of some humbling. In large part due to the lessons I learned both on and off the court over my 4 years with the UVA program, I was able to pursue my dream for a decade.

Thank you Coach 💙🧡
