I guess David Adelman's name wasn't big enough for L.A. This is where I orginally saw his name and reference to U.P. we discussed in Hoops Alumni thread.

The Lithuanian Basketball Federation announced at Augustas Marciulionis is out of the line-up with an injury.

Poster on God is a Gael says 4 weeks of rest and recovery for a fractured rib.

Team Lithuania has rough practices, I guess.

Now he posted about thanking SMC and asking to be released from his NLI due to changes in the program. Then the post was deleted. The SMC board talks about the assistant coach Justin Joyner who moved to Michigan, and about Sensley spending time with Aidan Mahaney, and about agent influence.

What a mess this whole process has become.

Zion Sensley has committed to UC Santa Barbara.

“ I can also add that there have been preliminary discussions with Saint Mary's College about joining the Pac-12, too.

These types of conversations are normal and don't indicate something is likely to happen. Part of the process.“

If this is true the PAC12 has lost the plot of getting back to P5 status. I’m trying to wrap my head around St Mary´s fielding a FBS football team.
