2026-27 Men’s College Basketball Discussion

Congrats to the University of Michigan Basketball Team! All your alumni and fans are feeling great about their choices.
Now, on to next year, with everyone playing or coaching elsewhere!

First up, without knowing squat about who will play/coach where, but they HAVE to do it:

Go Whoever Is Playing Duke!

TIL: there is a FIBA U17 World Championship, since 2010.
USA has won every single one.

Anywho, this guy has played for FC Barcelona’s Basketball first team. I mean, is he already a professional?? Why waste time (and money, though NIL cash) in college? I get it that he might have to prove himself against stiffer competition to get drafted higher (already a possible #1 in 2028). Or, maybe he just wants to go to college.
