Bryant Basketball: In-depth look at star senior wing Earl Timberlake
Timberlake is a former Miami Hurricane and Memphis Tiger and now enters his third season at Bryant. The wing came to Bryant as a former top 40 recruit nationally but was never able to live up to the hype after an injury-plagued first season at Miami and a disappointing season at Memphis the graduate student needed a fresh start.

The Bulldogs have a tremendous home-court advantage but the America East conference is rarely on National TV and rarely in the spotlight. That coupled with Rhode Island being close to home. It was a no-brainer for the wing.

Calipari’s first Hogs roster proof his biggest change was adopting new recruiting strategy
LITTLE ROCK — Genius is often confused with wisdom. In reality, possessing one of those attributes does not guarantee a seamless symbiosis with the other.
