I saw that Blake was a D-II this year. Sad, wonder if he'll make it back to D-I next season or if it's just too high a bar for him?

From "The Shush" (IYKYK), to the Montana Grizzlies, to a Div-II team.

Also, what's the NIL there? A pair of shoe laces and a Dr Pepper?

This is his final season of eligibility.

The Shush may have been his finest moment.
IYKYK?

You know, the former Patriot Keshawn Hall. The same player that would have been an NBA lottery pick had he not had a season ending ankle injury when he got a paper cut on his ankle.

Ahh...now I get it. Didn't know that Ekanmen was at Ok St nor what game was on ESPNU.

Thanks for clarifying!

BTW, Hall with 29 pts with 5 min left, but UCF down by 8

Hall finishes with 34 but UCF loses 104-95. OSU at home looked like a crowd smaller than EBA. Hall leads the Big 12 in scoring averaging 19.1 ppg

Hall is good player, not going to pretend he isn't. I was pissed off when he announced he would enter the transfer portal although these boards called it first. That being said, it's satisfying to see UCF struggling. Are they struggling because of Hall himself maybe not playing defense? Or is their team around him just not good enough?

I think theyve got some decent players but Hall stalls offenses a lot of time and doesnt allow them to get into rhythm. He plays hero ball and doesnt play D.

I noticed a slight limp last night. I think that ankle might be giving out again. Maybe Todd Golden should tell Hall to rest the next 3 weeks so he can be fresh for next season. Of coarse we all know Hall will be the Wizards first pick.

Impact transfers: Hall makes the list as "Rest of the Best". No A10 players on the list.

Keyshawn Hall, UCF Knights

Hall has had an interesting college career, starting zero games and averaging 5.4 points as a freshman at UNLV before breaking out last season at George Mason en route to 16.6 points and 8.1 rebounds. He's even better this year in the Big 12, averaging 18.5 points (second in the league) and 7.0 rebounds for the Knights.

I see Sebastian Thomas all the way at the end of the list (Rest of the Best section, last player). If they included him, surprised they didn’t include Isaiah Swope.
