Ashton Moore: Rising Star at KSU | College Basketball News

Ashton Moore, a four-star linebacker recruit and redshirt freshman at Kansas State, is poised to make an impact this season after sitting out last year. A three-time first-team all-state honoree from Louisburg High, he racked up 250 tackles and 14 touchdowns in his final two high school seasons, also winning the Bobby Bell Award and being a Simone Award finalist. Beyond football, he’s a four-year wrestling letterman and track standout, even helping set a school relay record. With four years of eligibility remaining and a scholarship, Moore joins a legacy of athletic excellence — his brother Austin played linebacker for the Wildcats for six years, and his sister Alyse competed in track at KU.

La Familia vs Boeheim's Army Rematch | College Basketball News

La Familia, Kentucky’s alumni squad, returns to the TBT quarterfinals for a fiery rematch against Boeheim’s Army, Syracuse’s storied alumni team — a throwback to their 1996 national championship clash. With Cole Swider dominating the boards and Buddy Boeheim’s shot volume on full display, Syracuse brings experience and firepower. Kentucky, meanwhile, battles roster uncertainty — Archie Goodwin’s 22-point explosion against Louisville was a lifeline, but injuries to key players like Willie Cauley-Stein loom large. They pulled off an Elam Ending win earlier this week, proving they can claw back from slow starts — but can they match Boeheim’s Army’s grit and history? The game airs at 2 PM ET on FOX, where the echoes of ’96 will surely reverberate. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Banchero’s endorsement adds serious weight, especially as Duke battles for attention against powerhouse Arkansas, led by legendary recruiter John Calipari, despite his recent NCAA drought. With multiple big names in play, Beckham’s choice could reshape the recruiting landscape—and Banchero’s influence might just be the deciding factor.
