Justin Amadi, a graduate transfer forward from James Madison, committed to Tulsa on Saturday. He missed the 2023-24 season due to injury.

First meeting between the 2 schools. 9/19/2026

Tulsa will play at New Mexico State in 2025. The return game in Tulsa is scheduled for 2034.

We’ve still got openings for home games in 2025 and 2026.

In its history, the Tulsa men’s basketball program has only landed a handful of 4-star prospects, and the most recent is Powder Springs (GA) McEachern point guard Jaye Nash. The 6-foot-2 and 175-pound floor general signed with Tulsa on Monday after an official visit to the TU campus this past weekend.

FWIW, multiple outlets reporting Bubba Cunningham has been asked to speak to a closed door session of UNC trustees regarding $100 million in accumulated debt by the program under his watch and the possibly of a financial audit.

I don’t see how the ACC is viable beyond 2025.

Corey Washington, Almanor, Odom, Pope and Nwankwo. Anyone else we're strongly pursuing rn?

Another good get. Now need some bigs with the last 3 spots.

If my memory serves the NCAA website has an official player portal list, but I can't find it this year. According to this list from On3 there are already 237 players in the portal.

Interesting……The portal has closed for Tulsa’s two returning QB’s.

Yesterday marked the passing of the great Mike Pinder, Mellotron king and last living co-founder of the Moody Blues. He was also a fine songwriter and vocalist, winning the Igor Novella songwriting award for the Moody Blues song "A Simple Game." He retired from music (mostly) in 1978 to California, and later worked in the video gaming industry.

He also recited the spoken word poems written by drummer Graeme Edge, such as Late Lament:

"Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey is yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion"

Godspeed Mike. Too many of my musical heros are passing. Tis the season it appears.

The Varsity 8 boat took the cup at the AAC Championship.

I’m surprised nobody has posted anything yet, at least I haven’t seen anyone post it.

I'm finally back from the mountains, and it appears I missed a bunch of stuff....as usual. This was posted in the portal thread, but posting in its own thread. Tulsa picked up a commit yesterday from TCU freshman DB transfer Champ (Ronald) Lewis. Had multiple P5 offers as a 2022 prospect, including Boston College, Colorado, Kansas, Purdue, Oregon State, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
