Writing about hoops on my own blog, and several other site, with a full time job, on top of fatherhood is doable! A second twitter account is not. Especially when Twitter is…what it has become.

If you hoped for content from this account now that the season started, I apologize but it will not be coming. Follow me at @OnTheShaneTrain where I’ll tweet about hoops all season, including my writing for @ActionNetworkHQ and other outlets (including PalestraBack.com).

Those 5 players have played a combined 12,319 D-I minutes. A starting rotation of Honor, Grill, Vanover, Carter and Tonje would counter with 13,587 minutes played. Memphis and Mizzou meet the first week of the season which may represent the most experienced D-I game ever played

If the NCAA grants DeAndre Williams an additional year of eligibility, Memphis' projected starting five --- Jahvon Quinerly, Caleb Mills, David Jones, Williams, and Jordan Brown --- will have an average age of 23.8 years old on opening night.

Last week, The Athletic laid me off. I’m grateful for my time there and gutted it had to end. I’ve thought a lot about it since, and it’s time to finally take this plunge. Presenting Buzzer: Great hoops writing, all year long, made with your support. eamonnbrennan.com

St. John's coach Rick Pitino envision that in 2024-25, the Storm will play eight of 10 Big East home games at MSG. He thought DePaul and Butler might be on-campus contests. #sjubb

With June 1 just hours away, Kentucky appears to be losing a total of nine players from last season, has just five freshmen and two sophomores committed to the roster and in the last two offseasons (to this point) has landed exactly one player (from Illinois State) in the portal.

The single most important piece of recruiting in modern college basketball is keeping the good players on your own team. Dusty May led FAU to the Final Four and then brought the entire roster back. Perfectly done.
