I believe he’s going to have to finish his season and figure out the contract stuff with Virtus Bologna before everything can be fully finalized. Then after that I’m sure there will be some process in terms of paperwork for NCAA eligibility and NIL agreements.
Outside of all of that stuff it does seem like we have it in the bag though. It’s as close to done as it can be without all of the formalities. I believe his last game is scheduled for May 10 but I may be wrong on that.

Is there a postseason/playoff after 5/10?

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Hopefully we get it over the finish line.

LSU is after Brice Dessert. 6-11 French center. LSU and Texas Tech battling for him.

Heard a report that his reps are still meeting with teams. The good thing, Wade probably has the most money left of anyone out there at this point.

Vernon Hamilton officially back on staff. I said this would happen in March and got downvoted to another realm.

Watch for an Abdi Bashir commitment to Kansas this afternoon. If that doesn't happen, then one of the best 3-pt shooters left in the portal should visit LSU this week.
No Bashir to Kansas news
But no Ugo news from Lsu

NCAA basketball has jumped the shark so much with all of these pro internationals. No one even pretends it’s about school anymore.

Don't be so dismissive of the McMen.

Reports that Kansas tried to bring him over last year, but they couldn't get him eligible.

That’s a good question. Here was the league’s playoffs schedule last year. LINK
Looks like it goes into June. Not sure how elimination and all that works but looks like Niang’s team is first in the league and will definitely have a playoff spot.

Sounds like this won’t affect our pursuit of Santos either. Apparently he was deep into his paperwork process with Tech and he was their top international prospect.

Very confident that Ugo is a tiger also at this point. Oregon got him in the portal but we took care of business. Virginia was the other school he was talking to but our side feels good.

Another name of interest:
Michael Ruzic, 6’8 Croatian PF. Played for Joventut Badalona in Spain last season.
Per Trilly: Same teams as Santos in contention for Ruzic: Kentucky, BYU, LSU. So if Santos commits we probably back away from this one.
I would rather him over Santos all day long. At 19, he is a legit NBA prospect. Shot 40% from 3 and is a great FT shooter.

From Trilly sounds like LSU very confident in Ugochukwu, Santos, and Dessert right now.

He wants to be a starter at a high-major. Oregon signed Fred Payne, and it sounded like they basically gave Ugo the same pitch Izzo did: "Be one of the first guards off the bench."
I would rather see Curry at the point. The below is about a week old, so you can take McNeil, Payne, and Patrick off. Ugo didn't even rank as one of the best guards left in the portal at that point.

Yes, its a done deal.

I love a good mid range game especially if he can do it with his back to the basket.
Posted on 5/4/26 at 8:46 am to rds dc
I'd take Curry, Ugo and Fleming (from Ga tech) . Not the most fearsome guard rotation but one that should be good enough. Plus it looks like we have been investing more time into Bigs this off-season anyway.

I thought Paul McNeil sucked and that's why Wade didn't want him. That chart appears to not agree with that sentiment.
