Duke coach Jon Scheyer is not leaving for the NBA. He said so Monday on the Glue Guys podcast, three months after the Dallas Mavericks pursued him during their coaching search and then hired Dusty May. The hosts raised reporting that the NBA had chased him over the summer. Scheyer never named a team in his answer. “I wouldn’t be able to live with myself, not seeing this thing through,” Scheyer said. “I mean, that’s just the bottom line. And I’m at a one-of-one place where not often you get your dream job when you’re 33.” “I’m really proud of the start we’ve gone off to and the continuation of what has been built here,” Scheyer continued. “But I think we got so much left to do. I just think we have so much left to accomplish. This is where my family is. This is home for me.”
Pate signed to play with Providence but is awaiting word from the NCAA as to whether he’s eligible for this season. The line between college and professional basketball continues to get increasingly blurry, but there have been dozens of cases of players who played professionally overseas being cleared to play in the NCAA. Pate’s case is unique because of his age (20) and that he turned down an NBA contract to potentially retain his college eligibility.
Jared Sullinger is calling it a career. The former Boston Celtics forward announced on social media that he is retiring from basketball at age 34. He added that he's returning to Ohio State as the Director of Player Development. "After a lifetime of giving everything I have to this game, it’s time for me to officially step away from playing basketball," Sullinger wrote. "What a journey it has been.”
Sullinger now returns to Ohio State, where he played two seasons and became a two-time first-team All-American before entering the NBA. "I’m hanging up the jersey, but I’m not walking away from the game. I’m just changing seats. Forever a Buckeye," wrote Sullinger.

Jeff Goodman: Arkansas State head coach Ryan Pannone will hire former Florida star, NBA player and New Orleans Pelicans assistant Corey Brewer as an assistant coach, source told @thefieldof68 . Brewer was a part of the Florida teams that won back to back national titles in 2006 and 2007. He also was on the Dallas Mavericks team that won the NBA title in 2011. I’ll be shocked if Brewer isn’t a terrific college assistant coach. Has great energy and has been all about intangibles and winning.

After going undrafted, Mark Mitchell played for the Nuggets at Summer League and was set to head to their training camp on an Exhibit 10 deal (which includes a bonus to join the Nuggets G League team).

A hearing on former Purdue basketball player Trey Kaufman-Renn's motion against the NCAA has been rescheduled for Sept. 8. The hearing was originally scheduled for Tuesday in Clark County Circuit Court No. 6. Judge Kyle P. Williams granted the NCAA's motion to move the hearing back one week.
Kaufman-Renn filed for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the NCAA on Thursday, Aug. 27. The Silver Creek alum is the latest of dozens of athletes across the country to file suit to contest some aspect of the NCAA's new age-based "five in five" eligibility model. The Minnesota Timberwolves drafted Kaufman-Renn with the 59th overall pick in June's NBA Draft.
Former Purdue basketball forward Trey Kaufman-Renn, now with the Minnesota Timberwolves, has asked a court to force the NCAA to allow him to play a sixth season. A return to the Boilermakers is unlikely, even if a judge grants the motion Kaufman-Renn filed in Clark County, Indiana, on Aug. 26. A hearing with Clark County Circuit Court No. 6 Judge Kyle P. Williams has been set for 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Kaufman-Renn suffered a knee injury in early November of that 2021-22 freshman season. After undergoing surgery, he opted for the redshirt season. Under the old model, an athlete who lost all or most of a season of eligibility – even one who also took a redshirt season – could seek a waiver to have that year of eligibility reinstated. The NCAA’s new rules closed that exception, so an athlete who loses one of their five seasons to eligibility has no waiver to pursue.
