College Hoops Season 2026-27

Checking in on the Duke vs Michigan State game and it might as well be Angola vs Mali. Duke starts fellows by the names of Sarr, Boumtje Boumtje and Ngongba while the Spartan’s have an eyes and teeth named Kur Teng. I thought their center, Bonke, would be another import from the dark continent but he’s a European looking guy from the country of Vanuatu. Gold star for any of you geography whizzes who know where that is. Needless to say, I’m passing on this game.
 
Siena defeated Dayton, 99-89. What is noteworthy? I’ve never seen a Siena squad with more Caucasians getting meaningful minutes. To use the cliche, they were workman-like in this contest as they wore down the opponent.

Their PG, Pace Prosser, had 17 points 11 assists 3 steals 0 turnovers.

Dayton’s exciting freshman wing, Aiden Derkack, put up 25 points 10 rebounds 4 assists 3 steals 4 turnovers.
 
7 Foot Freshman Croatian playing for LSU Michael Ruzik ....has been impressive his first 3 games.
Led a balanced scoring attack last night w 18 vs LaTech Led team in opener scoring 17
Averaging only 22 mins to play in the blow outs

Another Freshman 6'-9" Davis Kern For South Dakota St dropped 24 points in the opener last week vs K State

There's a French kid at Murray State who looks to be very good.
His name is Roman Domon.
One site has him ranked 59th in the country.

Domon had 29 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in Murray State's blowout win over Alcorn State.
 
A player that I haven't heard mentioned here plays for the ASU Sun Devils. He is from Lithunia and is a senior.

Paulius Marauskas is averaging 25 points and 8 rebounds a game so far. He reminds me alot of the U of A Wildcats
Player Ivan Kharchenkov. Ivan is looked at to be a top 10 draft pick. I think Paulius Marasukas should be looked at in the
top 20 guys taken. He is that talented. They both have similar size and skill sets.
 
Another player to watch is the very talented New Mexico Guard Jake Hall. He is 2nd in the NCAA in scoring at 30.7 points per game. He also pulls down over 5 rebounds per game all while playing steady defense. Only a sophmore but he is a player to watch closely!

Wow, that’s really a nice surprise. I’ll keep my eye out for him now!
 
Anyone looking for something to watch. #25 Nebraska are facing Lindenwood on FS1. The Cornhuskers start 5 White athletes: Pryce Sandfort (NBA talent), Braden Frager, Cale Jacobsen, Boden Kapke and Trevan Leonhardt. They bring a couple more of our guys off the bench as well.

thanks for the heads up!
 
 
Watching the Illinois vs Sam Houston Game. Illinois is ranked 3rd in the NCAA and they are worth a watch anytime they play. They start 3 of our guys and play another 4 off the bench. It will always be a majority of our guys on the floor the whole game. Just like the Lakers in the NBA these guys are must see tv! They also have 3 other white guys that are basically starters out hurt currently.

"The Balkan Bloc," a group of six players from Southeast Europe, have helped Illinois punch its ticket to the Final Four. They come from a region with a long history of basketball culture.

This kid reminds me of Brent Barry in his prime. His in game dunks are from farther out than any basketball player I've ever seen. He is
basically doing NBA Dunk Contests in the game while keeping his dribble. HIs vertical leap has to be insane. Then he can shoot, pass and play defense with the best of them. Future all star in the nba in my opinion if given the chance someday in the future!

An Exciting White for sure. Love the video, however I object to the term “White boy”, unless all young athletes are referred to as such. Black boys, Asian boys, etc. But we know that is verboten.

“White Boy” is no doubt derogatory, however, seems young Whites have spun it as a positive, using it as motivation.
