I love college basketball and march madness. I enjoy following recruiting and transfers and watching other teams. I follow the careers of kids that were recruited by UTEP or that played against UTEP in C-USA. Just for shits and giggles. Anyway....
I noticed that none of the players from CUSA tourney champs Marshall were invited to the NBA combine (although all 3 declared). Jon Elmore, Adjin Penava and CJ Burks combined to score 59 points, 19 rebounds, 12 assists and 3.5 steals in 17'-18. Penava led the nation in blocks at 4.1 per game and was the CUSA defensive player of the year. Any of them could choose to play overseas/D-league or become a free agent, but if they all come back then lookout. Marshall could be one of the top mid-majors in the country and have multiple POY candidates. Hopefully this is us in a few years!
Nevada just signed a 5-star recruit 6'11 C/PF Jordan Brown. Eric Musselman has the ball rolling there and big schools will be all over him soon.
LSU has had 2 tremendous recruiting classes the past 2 years. Their leading scorer/assist man last year was touted freshman point guard Tremont Waters (16/6). They also have another excellent guard by the name of Mays. Oh and they also have two transfers available this year by the names of Kavel Bigbey-Williams and Jeremy Combs.
