  • Blake McLimans will play his fifth year at Miami (Ohio) according to Matt Vogrich’s twitter.
  • Yay Area’s Finest put together a mix of Dream Vision from Dallas featuring 2016 guard Derryck Thornton and 2015 big man Stephen Zimmerman. Zimmerman also picked up an invite to the NBPA Top 100 Camp and drew praise from Dave Telep in Dallas: “The lure here is the lefty’s uncommon skill set. His perimeter touch is really good, especially inside the arc, where he has no problem getting mid-range shots at will. Whether fading or putting it on the deck and creating space, he’s very accurate. Similar to Chris Bosh, Zimmerman still has work to do as a consistent traffic rebounder. Offensively, with his jumper and skill set he’s a hard guy to match up with”
  • Bacari Alexander was named the College Insider Most Fashionable Assistant Coach, this was Bacari’s fifth Fashionable Four Championship as an assistant coach.
  • Big Ten “single plays” are due to be announced sometime this summer and they will be updated this season. That means Michigan will play last year’s “single plays” (Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota) twice and its “four single-play opponents will come from the seven teams that they played home and away last year”. According to the Gazette, recent history will play a part in deciding the matchups. Michigan’s longest single play droughts are Ohio State (2005), Penn State/Northwestern (2007) and Indiana/Michigan State (2009).

  • Kevon Looney is named the “unselfish star” at the NY2LA Extravaganza by ESPN with a mention of Diamond Stone: “Looney is a long and athletic combo forward who is a matchup nightmare for opponents. He has a quick first step on straight-line drives, has an excellent midrange pull-up and can knock down the open 3 when his feet are set. He is also a tip-dunk threat on the offensive glass.”
