Wyoming transfer Noah Reynolds backed out of his Wisconsin commitment. He had already signed but was apparently allowed out of his NLI.

what do you make of this?  Any issues or kid just changing his mind?

[847badgerfan]

Nobody knows anything at this point, but people speculate that it might be a lack of minutes available.

As suspected PG Jahcobi Neath will not return to Wisconsin. Needs another surgery.

His brother got hired at another school. He’s following him.

I didn't see it mentioned here yet but Bronny James (LeBron's son) committed to USC so the circus will not be coming to Ohio State. 

I'm not sure how to feel about this .

I think you should feel good about Lebron Jimmie not coming to OSU.

I'm not sure how to feel about this .

How to feel about Bronny to USC:

1. No coach save Calipari at Kentucky does less with more talent than Enfield at USC.

2. Bronny is good but not great. He's not a one-and-done level talent. Bronny might need several college years to develop into a prospect worth a 1st RD pick, and all of that to hopefully become draft-able as a likely role player off the bench.

3. The longer it takes for Bronny to ready for the NBA, the older his Dad gets. Age will soon catch up to Lebron and willing NBA teams won't be as excited or see the novelty in signing an AARP Lebron.

4. Bronny has nowhere near the imposing physical presence of his Dad. His measurables are a buzzkill for much of the NBA.

5. Bronny won't be the best on his team and might not begin next season ready enough to be a starter. However, Lebron didn't choose USC for his kid to check in from the bench. Bronny will soon start no matter how ready. Yes, Enfield will be dealing with a circus, both from the media and from the James family posturing Bronny for the NBA.

Between a very good returning starter and a stud freshman coming in, the smart money is on the kid not starting. On the other hand, can’t say he is shying away from competition.
