On a side note, coaches challenges have just been approved for college basketball. All details in article on ESPN site.

I have not seen an official Hugley announcement and he did not appear to be in the photos on IG in the recent picnic. Is he still coming?

It was in the Trib, PSN, and Verbal commits. That works for me.

Duquesne's continued refusal to provide any roster information for 25-26 on its official website remains both mystifying & unsurprising. This has become their S.O.P.

No Hughley.

Not an Instagram user so I apologize for any inaccuracies. From what I saw, Milosevic, Hall, and Necas did not participate as well. Again, not having Instagram, my playback may be questionable.
Also, I thought we had a roster limit if 15 - period - including walk ons. So why did McDermott and Anish participate? Great to see them both but Verbal Commits lists all five of last years walk ons as in the portal.
So….i am obviously quite confused. But even with that, not concerned about Hugley.

Thank you. You are correct. I didn’t see Milosevc or Hall either. Necas is there from photos posted on them playing football on Rooney yesterday.

That's a relief. I was starting to get a bit worried.
