MBB: Players declaring for the draft

I was just looking at a list of players who have declared for the NBA Draft. First of all, there's all kinds of kids on there who have no business declaring early. Gradey Dick is a prime example. (Caveat: I know they can still pull their names out of the draft.)

But if this holds true to form, Baylor stands to lose every piece in its vaunted back court from last year. L.J. Cryer, Adam Flagler and Keyonte George have all declared for the draft.

Meanwhile, Arkansas, who had an OK team but nothing to write home about last year, would be losing FIVE, count them, FIVE players to the Draft. Two of them were juniors last year and three were freshmen.

Kansas: In addition to Dick, Jaylen Wilson has also declared.

Kansas State: Marquis Nowell

TCU: Mike Miles Jr.

Texas: Dillon Mitchell, Tyrese Hunter

Texas Tech: De'Vion Harmon

Cincinnati: Landers Nolley

Houston: Marcus Sasser, Jamal Shead, Jarace Walker and Tramon Mark

UCF: Taylor Hendricks

Nobody from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, BYU, Iowa State or West Virginia declared for the draft.

FOOTBALL ***RELEASE: Campbell a Semifinalist For Munger Coach of the Year Award***

Iowa State Media Relations

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell has been named a semifinalist for the prestigious George Munger Award, which recognizes the College Football Coach of the Year.

Campbell has led Iowa State to its first 10-win season in the program’s 133-year history, finishing the regular season 10-2 overall and 7-2 in conference play while earning a berth in the Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship game.

The Cyclones matched the best start in school history, opening the season 7-0 and climbing to as high as No. 9 in The Associated Press Top-25 poll.

Campbell, who recently agreed to a contract extension through the 2032 season, became Iowa State’s winningest coach earlier this season when he surpassed Dan McCarney’s previous mark. In his ninth season leading the program, Campbell owns a 63-51 record at the school, including 62-43 since starting 1-8 in his initial campaign.

He’s also 45-36 in conference play, which is 18 more league victories than any other coach in the school’s history. Campbell owns 45 of ISU’s 89 all-time wins against Big 12 teams.

Campbell and the No. 18 Cyclones return to action Dec. 28 at the Pop-Tarts Bowl against No. 15 Miami.
