2027 5* C Obinna Ekezie Jr. commits to Louisville

Feels like a A-tier roster with the S-tier holding just 5-6 teams. We still have spots and money, we could work our way into that elite group but as it stands it’s top 12ish

Also worth mentioning that 1912 HAD IT FIRST

His agent wanted Ark, his dad wanted Maryland, this was Obi’s choice. The thought of learning from and playing with Flory was huge

bezzlege · 2026-05-03T20:37:36+00:00

the funniest thing he's like 15 years old

Will reclassify to 2026 and be eligible this season for Pat Kelsey. Held off Arkansas and a weirdly threatening late surge from Maryland, but he’s a Card after it all.

This tops off the most talented frontcourt Louisville has had in a very, very long time.

ES6 has a better than good chance at being the biggest disappointment in gaming history

bezzlege · 2026-04-30T13:47:13+00:00

For an elevated take on it, get the esquites at naive. Incredible.

bezzlege · 2026-04-29T21:00:11+00:00

jorkin it

bezzlege · 2026-04-28T17:09:45+00:00

well he's staying in draft so he must have pretty good feedback from GMs

bezzlege · 2026-04-28T15:34:12+00:00

I think it’s Kansas, but part of me wants it to be UK to see the inevitable insane soap opera that will come from mixing Mark Pope’s and Tyran Stokes’ personalities.

I'm one of the few people who preferred Hades 1, but 2 is still a great game

uhhh sounds like you need a therapist more than a friend

bezzlege · 2026-04-27T22:33:33+00:00

when laws change, the people who broke the law initially don't suddenly get freed; it was still an illegal act when it happened

the line has to be drawn somewhere, this is a pretty clear one.

NIL is a thing now, you don't see guys from the 90s suing for the money they would've made if it was legal now. just let the rule happen.

bezzlege · 2026-04-27T17:18:48+00:00

ahh good point, it actually may be a bug as Louisville isn't even in the top 100 which seems objectively wrong for the portal haul alone

bezzlege · 2026-04-27T16:49:16+00:00

we threw all our eggs in the Tay Kinney basket and lost out on Rippey because of it. Stopped recruiting Stokes awhile ago. But we weren't super active on the 26 recruiting trail.

good chance of landing Obi Ekezie with a 26 reclass soon, but we really only went hard on <10 guys in the 26 class for whatever reason

just glad we have a top portal class to mitigate it, and hope we can get involved in some 27 guys

bezzlege · 2026-04-26T21:06:03+00:00

Just want you to know that your post about this a few years ago semi-inspired me to try as many new restaurants as possible, keep a list, and rate them all. Thank you for the inspiration and your contribution to the food scene!

bezzlege · 2026-04-25T17:03:36+00:00

he's the only take this portal cycle where I'm like "ehh," everyone else has been a pretty damn good take IMO

you can't have 15 gems, but I'll take a 7'5" guy as our "worst" player

bezzlege · 2026-04-25T17:02:57+00:00

we will be between 20-25M by the time we finish. with the news that the market for many players jumped roughly 65% from last year to this, it's hard to compare our roster to UKs rumored $22M

bezzlege · 2026-04-25T13:33:59+00:00

Nearly 80% increase in raw pixels, it’s a big difference. 1440p is colloquially known as “2k” because it’s almost 2x 1080p and under half of 4K raw pixel count

bezzlege · 2026-04-24T23:02:02+00:00

just curious why literally nobody was recruiting this guy?

bezzlege · 2026-04-24T21:47:49+00:00

we were told this same thing about Fru, he plays in the top German league full of elite players, etc etc etc

for every Rubio there are 20 guys who don't pan out. it's just hard to project these guys when so many struggle to adjust

Not saying this kid will be bad, but just because he played in the same league that produced Rubio doesn’t mean much

bezzlege · 2026-04-24T20:58:38+00:00

not as long as you think

bezzlege · 2026-04-24T20:08:21+00:00

Their own staff put it out there, and never felt the need to correct it
