Andrew Wiggins maintained a clandestine approach to his recruitment, but there's nothing secret about the 2014 potential of his choice: Kansas is right back in the driver's seat.

In his Tuesday Daily Word, my esteemed colleague (and noted triathlete) Andy Katz provided an update on the state of Pac-12 officiating in the wake of the Ed Rush scandal. The conference hired an outside counsel (Ice Miller attorney Stu Brown) to com...

For two years, the NCAA has made -- or tried to make -- college basketball players make the most crucial decision about their professional futures almost comically early. The NCAA used to allow players until June to work out with teams, test the wate...

All week long, we're taking an in-depth look at the 2013-14 season. On Wednesday, my colleague Myron Medcalf and I met at our proverbial Watercooler to discuss the incoming freshmen we're most looking forward to watching on something other than YouTu...

College basketball's incoming freshmen class promises to be one of the best in years. Add that talent to some rising sophomores and upperclassmen, and it's easy to understand why the 2013-14 pre-preseason All-American teams are loaded.

In general, I'm not a huge believer in the idea that injury worries should be a major factor in most players' NBA draft decisions. Sure, it's always a risk, and it's always easy to favor hindsight if a player is indeed burned by his decision to play ...

1. The preseason Big East Player of the Year has never played a minute of basketball in the Big East. 2. His dad can breathe a sigh of relief. 3. Dude. Awesome. Those were the first reactions, precisely ordered, that fired through my synapses Th...

Say what you want about Steve Alford -- a license that has expanded greatly since he was hired at UCLA -- his tenure at New Mexico was marked by quiet competence. San Diego State posted a 31-win season and now-departed BYU foisted The Jimmer upon an ...

On Wednesday morning, in a column detailing his and a score of other decisions still in flux before Sunday's final NBA draft decision deadline, I wrote the following about Syracuse forward C.J. Fair: The good news for those Syracuse fans afflicted i...

With the deadline to declare for the NBA draft looming, Eamonn Brennan evaluates a crop of underclassmen whose decisions could make a significant impact on their college programs, including Syracuse's C.J. Fair and Michigan State's Adreian Payne.

OK, sure, this probably isn't as unremarkable and expected as Shabazz Muhammad's decision to go pro -- nothing will ever be, obviously -- but it certainly wasn't the Marcus Smart of pro decisions, either. Michigan guard Tim Hardaway Jr. is heading to...

The reaction has been mostly predictable. When news broke last Tuesday that Oklahoma State point guard Marcus Smart, a likely top-five pick in the 2013 draft, would instead return for his sophomore season of college hoops, the usual gamut was run: su...

UCLA fans have a lot on their psychological platters right now. Not only are they doing their best to forget the last four years of Ben Howland's tenure, they must also wrestle with what it means that a coach run out of Iowa in the same spring UCLA w...

The college basketball offseason is officially here, but there are still plenty of storylines worth keeping an eye on. Here's Eamonn Brennan's top five.
