I’m excited to announce that after graduating from Villanova, I will join the Baltimore Ravens for a year-long role as an Editorial Intern! I couldn’t be more thrilled to join such a prestigious organization. Thank you to
@ryanmink
and the rest of the staff for this opportunity.

@KOT4Q
yeah but that's not the point. The point is Gobert was fucking around making a joke of it. Even if Mitchell had it first, he still put everyone at risk by not taking the proper precautions.

Qadir was at rookie minicamp with Baltimore and did enough to earn a spot on the 90-man roster.
Before
@DrexelMBB
played Delaware in 2018, guard Troy Harper decided to do something he had never done before — he wrote “hungry dogs run faster” on the team’s whiteboard.
Then, his team fell behind by 34 points before mounting a historic comeback.
All night, Drexel wasn’t able to get over the hump… that is until the final seconds.
“My coaches and my teammates trusted me and put the ball in my hands to make a play,” said Justin Moore (

From a young age, Sabrina Sobhy (

Now, she is one of the premier players in the game, ranked No. 15 in the world and No. 3 in the US, both career highs.

Team Thrill 17u defeats Team Durant, 65-55.
Amani Hansberry 📷 (24 points) and Derik Queen (16 points) went back and fourth and both impressed.
Eli Rice (22 points) also had a big game for Thrill.
It only made sense that
@DrexelMBB
’s Coletrane Washington (

From an early age, he was surrounded by the game.

Yesterday was the final day of my internship with
@phillysport
. What a great year it was, and I learned more than I could have imagined working with such a great staff. I’m forever grateful for the opportunity.
After the game, I asked Keishana Washington what Drexel has meant to her. She thought about it for a second and then started to cry.
After the press conference, still emotional, she was approached by some fans. Of course, she stopped for the picture.
After sitting out Tuesday night for rest, Chet Holmgren returned to the floor in a big way Wednesday against the Pacers.
The No. 2 pick from 2022 scored a game-high 25 points, adding nine rebounds and five blocks.

Huge shoutout to everyone that made this year’s event happen, especially

I don't know how many games the
@hooplove215
staff watched the last two weekends, or how many interviews we've done, or players we've scouted. But I'd challenge literally any other hoops coverage outlet in the country to say they wrote about more players and covered more ground.
