Full list of players GCU fans may be familiar with who GCU played, and where they got drafted.
Bennett Stirtz, Iowa - Thunder
Jayden Quaintance, Kentucky (ASU) - Spurs
Cameron Carr, Baylor (exhibition) - Lakers
Ja'Kobi Gillepsie, Tennessee (Maryland formally) - Spurs
Sounds like GCU guard Jaden Henley has found his home.
An athletic, scrappy, physical team in Detroit provides him a great opportunity to try to find his way. Excited for Jaden!
Jaden Henley won't get drafted tonight in the NBA Draft, now official with pick 60 in.
Guys that were on the line of next up are already signing deals, so I'd expect some news to drop soon on where he signs.

GCU & Santa Clara home and home is perfect for college hoops. Students on campus, Saturday, a really good opponent who has put guys in the league. Great stuff here!
Per the podcast here with University of Louisiana Monroe's head coach Ryan Cross, GCU will be hosting the Warhawks this upcoming season.
Cross also alludes to playing tough games & using the schedule as a way to generate revenue. Connecting the dots means a potential buy game.
BREAKING: University of Michigan coach Dusty May has agreed to become the new head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, sources tell me, @AdamSchefter, @PeteThamel. Major college-to-pro jump for the 2026 NCAA championship coach and swing for the Mavericks and Masai Ujiri.
Per his instagram, Jaqari Miles has joined the Lopes! He is a 6' 3'' guard out of Los Angeles who played last year at Fullerton College. Also had a stop at Montana State, and joins the Lopes with plenty of eligibility left.
1 spot left now on the Lopes roster!
NEWS: Tyon Grant-Foster has been cleared to play by the NBA's fitness-to-play panel, a source tells DraftExpress.
Grant-Foster had a defibrillator implanted after twice undergoing cardiac arrest before returning to play at Grand Canyon and then Gonzaga.
GCU hasn't had a player drafted in the modern 2 round NBA draft (started in 1989), but it looks like Jaden Henley has a real chance to be the first.
This updated mock draft has him going 53rd to the Rockets, most mocks have him as a late 2nd rounder.
LATEST MOCK DRAFT ONE WEEK OUT 👀🚨
28. TWolves: Isaiah Evans (Duke)
24. Knicks: Meleek Thomas (Arkansas)
16. Grizzlies: Bennett Stirtz (Iowa)
8. Hawks: Mikel Brown Jr. (Louisville)

Update on Efe Demirel...
@CBB_Central posted this follow up message regarding the new international ruling:
"If you already made it through the clearinghouse (IE guys who played last year in college) there’s no way they can unwind that. So like Dame Sarr remains eligible"
Here is exact verbiage from @CBB_Central on the potential ruling for "Less lucrative" leagues.
I am SURE the NCAA will do an honorable job on the case by case basis right? Right?
If passed, could be another massive "Wow how'd we step on this rake?" situation by NCAA.
All in all, not saying Efe is clear or saying Efe is in serious jeopardy of losing eligibility. And to be honest, it all feels a little hopeless trying to make sense of these sorts of things with the NCAA.
Just wanted to make sure I call it out!

I don't want to get people too worked up with a potential Friday news dump regarding International players...
But GCU big guy Efe Demirel did play pro in Turkey. While focus seems to be on official Euroleague play, it looks like all pro play could be under the microscope.
If this new rule is enforced as written, at least half of college basketball's preseason top 25 teams just lost one or more starters.
Dropping it in May, with no replacement options available, makes very little sense.
