A pair of players with Nova connections to participate in Team USA training camp ahead of FIBA 2023 U19 Men's World Cup.

We mentioned yesterday that there was a lot of chatter linking Richmond transfer Tyler Burton with Villanova, and on Wednesday Burton officially committed to the Wildcats.

Burton averaged 19.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 steals last season for Richmond. He was a two-time All-A10 selection and tested the NBA Draft waters before deciding to return to college for his final season of eligibility. Burton brings a ton of experience, having played over 30 minutes a game in each of the last three seasons. At 6-7, he brings a good deal of versatility on the wing on both ends of the floor.

Kyle Neptune has done a great job working the transfer portal and has assembled an intriguing roster for the 2023-24 season.

Some scheduling news.

Kyle Neptune has again struck in the transfer portal, this time adding Lance Ware from Kentucky.

A member of the 2022 class, Ware was ranked No. 36 in his class. The 6-9 forward was stuck in a frontcourt logjam at Kentucky.

This is a nice get by Neptune and staff, continuing a strong performance in the transfer portal this season. With Ware's addition, much of the focus of roster construction shifts to the class of 2024.

2024 Nova target Thomas Sorber has committed to Georgetown, choosing the Hoyas over Villanova, Providence and Miami.

Constant protests. Bunch of spoiled entitled politically correct cretins running amok crying about every perceived slight.

When did this start?

Rest In Peace, Tom

2024 F/C Thomas Sorber is set to announce his college decision on Wednesday. Sorber, a four-star prospect out of Archbishop Ryan in Philadelphia, has risen to No. 70 in the class. He is choosing between Villanova, Providence, Georgetown and Miami.

Would you guys wear this while golfing? Think it makes me look fat?

Anyone here play? Had the privilege of watching Jonah Hill play for us when he was filming Sarah Marshall here on the big island and that got me into it

Biden not running for POTUS.

Only thing tipping the scales here is me at 300 pounds....Hey-Yo!!!!!

Glad to have a titan of the board back. This deserves a TQ session.

What alts did you post as while away?

What drove you away other than burrs?

Do you feel refreshed and ready to kill it like you always did?

Still a Mets fan?

Last movie that made you cry?

Dead hooker in your trunk and you can only rely on 3 benchwarmers for help. Who do you call?

Hope he gets drilled in the back tonight

When you running the 2023 BW tourney?

A familiar face returns to the sideline.

Work on the recruiting trail continues, and this time it's an elite 2025 prospect getting an offer in 6-8 Cooper Flagg, who plays at Montverde Academy.

Flagg is a five-star prospect who is ranked No. 2 in the class.

As you would expect with such a prospect, Flagg is drawing plenty of interest: Kansas, Duke, Michigan, UCLA and UConn have offered, as has Providence, Kansas State, West Virginia, Iowa and Georgia, among others.

Flagg is the whole package. Good size/length/athleticism. Nice footwork and soft touch around the rim. Can score from all three levels. Willing defender. Good motor with a nice, quiet, understated swag. Probably needs to tighten the handle a little bit, but what he has and where he's at for his age is impressive and it's easy to see why he's garnering the attention he is.

Neptune clearly intends to continue going after the top recruits (as he should) and it will be interesting to see how this one plays out.
