BSL: Breaking Down the Most Important NBA Draft Decisions

It's looking like Michigan Transfer Hunter Dickinson will be making a decision soon on where his next destination will be. Villanova has emerged lately as a potential landing spot with Dickinson's High School Teammate Justin Moore also coming back to school at Villanova. Kyle Neptune has already added two marquee transfers in T.J Bamba from Washington State and Hakim Hart from Maryland, but this would be a move that really would put them over the top.

Bob Huggins directed a homophobic slur at Xavier fans during a radio interview, so his time at West Virginia may be coming to an end soon.

Such a shock coming from such an upstanding member of society like Bob Huggins

Well, he's not getting fired. Expected to receive a "significant" suspension, $1M salary reduction, and mandatory sensitivity training.

Gotta say, I didn't see "hey lets just pay him less" as one of the potential resolutions here.  How do they even think that up?

Probably goes hand-in-hand with the suspension. They figure they shouldn't have to pay him when he's not coaching.

He's suspended for 3 games, so that's not it.

I didn't see that part. "Significant"....yeah, right.

[Chris B]

Unsurprisingly, a slap on the wrist.

The one cherry on top is that Huggins has to make a personal donation to Xavier’s center for diversity and inclusion.

I hope we get to see receipts of said transaction. Living rent free in this guy’s head decades after leaving Cincinnati.

Caleb Love is back in the portal. Apparently didn’t have the necessary academic credits to transfer into Michigan. Juwan Howard looks to have a steep uphill battle this season.

BSL: Winners and Losers from NBA Draft Deadline Decision Deadline

https://baltimorespo...ision-deadline/

After the NBA's early draft decision deadline, Creighton is a roster that I really like heading into next season that can absolutely be a National Title sleeper. This team has plenty of NCAA Tournament experience, with two of the best shooters in the country in Baylor Schierman and Steven Ashworth, a dominant rim protector in Ryan Kalkbrunner and a future lottery pick in Trey Alexander with the ball in his hands. Watch out

This is really the first time in the John Caliapri era that I'm starting to get really nervous about Kentucky. I'm really not sure how you can build your team around solely Freshman in the year 2023 and not be at least a little concerned. Despite recent struggles, you could tell that Cal was at least building towards something but with Oscar Tshibwe and Chris Livingston now gone and possibly Antonio Reeves joining them soon, Kentucky is not even currently in my top 5 of the SEC heading into next season.

Arrested for DUI last night. Gonna go ahead and guess that’s the final nail for him.

He lasted a full year at Cincinnati after his last DUI, but yeah don’t see that happening this time.

EDIT: His BAC was reportedly 0.21%, more than twice the legal limit.
