Lakers just impose their will. The greatest owner in the history of Pro sports, JERRY BUSS, would be honored.

Hi Juanski. I miss you. $1 Gentlemen bet on this series?

It looked like much more playing time for Canka.in 2023/24.
NIL$ may be a factor here?

Right here:

He was always one of my favorite players. Hope he has a great final college season at Eastern Washington.

Denny Crum, the Hall of Fame college basketball coach who led Louisville to two national championships in the 1980s, died Tuesday at the age of 86.

Crum played college basketball under John Wooden at UCLA in the late 1950s, then joined the Bruins' staff as an assistant under Wooden, helping the program to three national titles during his time there. Louisville hired the California native as its coach in 1971, and the program rose to national prominence under his watch.

Crum led the Cardinals to the Final Four six times -- winning national titles in 1980 and '86 -- and made the NCAA tournament 23 times in his 30 seasons. He oversaw Louisville's move from the Missouri Valley Conference to the Metro Conference to Conference USA, and his teams won 15 regular-season conference championships across the two different leagues.

In 1993, Crum became the second fastest coach to win 500 games. Nicknamed "Cool Hand Luke" for his calm demeanor, he had a 675-295 mark at Louisville before retiring in 2001.

"They don't make them like Coach any more. Coach Crum was the type of coach that everybody gravitated to," former Louisville star Darrell Griffith told WDRB in 2022. "He was just so personable. ... He opened up this program to the city. Everybody was welcome. People feel that."

Crum was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1994. Some 25 years later, he was one of six coaches to be honored with a commemorative bench around a statue of Dr. James Naismith outside the Springfield, Massachusetts-based hall. Naismith officials said the recognition was for a group that exemplified the values of the hall's namesake: teamwork, determination, self-respect, leadership, initiative and perseverance.

Upon retirement, Crum started the "Denny Crum Scholarship Fund," which awards scholarships to Louisville for students who show a "commitment to leadership and community service, academic achievement and volunteer involvement." Louisville's home court at the KFC Yum! Center is named after him.

Crum was hospitalized in 2017 after doctors said he suffered a mild stroke while fishing in Alaska. Two years later, he again was hospitalized after another stroke.

The final week will be a change from the Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday schedule, with the final practices taking place Monday/Wednesday/Friday

Quite a few guards with Boogie returning, Collier #1 G 2023, and now James.
I’m glad we don’t have to put up with the hoopla surrounding him. It’s a distraction which MC does not need.
I’m waiting for the tree from Spain to sign with us.

Five years ago by completely gutting the team and getting rid of all their players. Nineteen players left the team after the spring practice

Vida Blue, one of baseball’s greatest pitchers, passed away yesterday at the age of 73.
Besides his great pitching, I will also remember him for his salary feuds with A’d owner Charlie Finley.
RIP, Vida. Wish you had been a Dodger.

With that win it gave UCLA it's 121 National Championships...second only to Stanford.

The end of spring camp is here. Chip Kelly speaks at 8:30 a.m. before practice begins 15 minutes later.

It's also a big weekend of official visitors, with the likes of 2024 OLB Isaiah Patterson, 2024 OT Justin Tauanuu, 2024 ILB Brayden Platt, 2024 CB Marcelles Williams and 2024 WR David Washington on campus with commits Joshua Glanz and Mark Schroller.

The Los Alamitos football player did not sign early with the rest of the 2023 class in December.

In an Instagram post, O’Connor said he has reopened his recruitment and thanked both Chip Kelly and Brian Norwood for the opportunity.

these were the players that signed either as drafted players or free agents.

The biggest surprise to me was Sykes. I don't remember or glossed over his performance during the season.

The performance, which included a 7/10 effort on 3-pointers in one contest and a 29-point performance in another, led to several offers including Louisville, Oregon and Washington.

Welcome to the fifth and final week. A little more than 35 mins until things get underway.

I wanted to give it a few practices before I did a first all-Dante Moore-focused story. What continues to stick out is the talent that you don’t see out of an ordinary freshman.

Fourth week of camp wraps up today. Three more practices left after today.

Before I started on the day’s practice report, played catch-up on today’s three drafted UCLA players. Will, of course, update accordingly if more get selected.
