PAYNE: “I've taken some heat for this. Last year — you know, and this is just me, so I know I it may not make sense to you. What I inherited was broken. More than I could ever tell. It was broken. It wasn't just basketball. It was broken beyond broken. OK, so when you walk into a

The frustrating part is that Louisville had a chance to take Max Abmas, Caleb Love, Khalid Battle, RJ Luis, or Keyon Menifield
Instead, Payne said “no” to those kids and took a guy from a low-level JUCO team
Never want to judge if it’s a private issue, but this is silly
Kenny Payne: “I have nothing to say about Koron Davis. I had no idea he was at the game. If he was, that’s fine with me. He’s still a part of the team.”

Film of Fredrick King from the NBA Academy Games in Mexico. He's a mobile big man who is quick off his feet and plays with a exceptionally high intensity level, while possessing intriguing skill, poise, and maturity. King converted 77% of his FGs and 74% of his FTs in Mexico.

West Virginia’s Quinn Slazinski has been having himself a great season, the 6’9 wing has a versatile skillset, he has scored the most off the dribble jumpers for any 6’9+ player in college so far. He can handle it and shoot off any movement.

This Coppin State team is BAD so far
They’ve lost to:
Virginia Tech 100-55
Towson 70-49
Mount St Marys 74-60
Most damning stat: CSU’s leading rebounder grabs 3.3 boards per game
They only rebound 22 as a team
Prediction: 86-69 Cards

“We can’t beat teams with talent. We’re never going to be the most talented team” is a baffling thing to say after losing to a Division II team
I do not think this Kenny Payne quote will go over well.
Talking about never being the most talented team when you lose an exhibition game against a much less talented team from Division II for the second year in a row, especially after major roster turnover, is not good.
