Lincoln Williams: From Dominance to Development | College Basketball News

Lincoln Williams, a freshman guard with jaw-dropping high school stats, is poised to dominate college basketball. As a senior, he averaged 26 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals while shooting 77% from the field — leading his team to a 29-win, undefeated conference season. He was a top-three finalist for Illinois Mr. Basketball, named Class 3-A Media Player of the Year, and holds Kankakee’s all-time scoring record with over 1,800 points. His standout 44-point game and undefeated run with Nike EYCL (including a 30-point Peach Jam performance) prove his elite talent. Now, the focus shifts to refining his all-around game — he’s got the scoring, but his next level success hinges on putting it all together.

Two Badgers, One Blazers Roster | College Basketball News

John Tonje, fresh off his Wisconsin Badgers days, just signed a two-way deal with the Portland Trail Blazers — making him the second Badger alum on the roster, joining Micah Potter.

Mia Woolfolk Finds Home at Vanderbilt | College Basketball News

Mia Woolfolk, a fierce SEC center who transferred to Vanderbilt after a rough ride through the portal, is already thriving—thanks to Coach Shea Ralph and a supportive, growth-oriented culture. She’s been building chemistry with guards Mikayla Blakes and Aubrey Galvan, creating a dynamic offense that leverages her post dominance while expanding her perimeter game. Known for her relentless hustle and now working on three-point shooting, Woolfolk’s adapting quickly to Vanderbilt’s fast-paced system. Unlike past experiences where mistakes meant starting over, here she’s learning to recover in real time—making her not just a scorer and rebounder, but a vital leader in a team that values collaboration over cutthroat competition.

Cam Gill Returns to Panthers | College Basketball News

Cam Gill, UFL Defensive Player of the Year and former Panther, is back in Carolina—this time with a chance to prove he’s NFL material.
