I_medium Louisville, Kentucky and North Carolina all had eyes on Romeo Langford last weekend.

I_medium If you're looking for vintage treasures in Louisville (and really, aren't we all?), this is the internet post for you.

I_medium Yep.

I_medium College baseball continues to have a massive issue with scholarships.

I_medium Teddy Bridgewater is a Pro Bowler, but he's still the Vikings' most underrated player.

I_medium When you're in Como, Italy, you throw Ls with Jesus. It's just what you do.

I_medium The Bats are celebrating Christmas in July this weekend, which is something.

I_medium Former U of L track and field standout Matt Hughes is headed to Rio.

I_medium Eric Crawford examines Chinanu Onuaku's recent comments about having to "play like a robot" in college.

As for Onuaku, I'm not entirely sure, from the context, that he meant anything by his comments. It's certainly possible. But for what he is going to be asked to do by the Rockets, he could be far worse things than robotic.

So far in three summer league games, he has gone 2-7 from the field, averaged 1.3 points, and grabbed 14 rebounds — including a game-high nine in a win over Sacramento on July 10, his best overall outing so far.

Still, his average of 4.7 rebounds per game is fewer than former college teammates Montrezl Harrell and Terry Rozier are averaging. In fact, former Cardinal Chane Behanan is averaging more rebounds (5.0) in less than half the minutes (9 per game).

In an interview with reporters in Houston, Harrell said of him, "He's a young guy who still has a lot to learn. I feel he definitely going to have to learn to change from that Louisville locker room and a college locker room to an NBA locker room. But I feel like he's going to pick that up by being around a bunch of older, more mature guys. . . . He's very versatile with his height and length can definitely use him on the defensive end. On the offensive end, as log as he plays hard. . . . But on defense, he brings the versatility to be able to sit down and guard switches."

I_medium New Louisville commit Trenell Troutman says fellow Miami native Teddy Bridgewater has been "like a mentor" to him.

I_medium I love this tweet.

I_medium Devonte Fields checks in at No. 44 on Sports Illustrated's list of the 100 best players in college football for this season.

A former standout at TCU before being dismissed from the school in August 2014, Fields spent the '14 season in junior college before finding his footing on Louisville's defense last fall. The linebacker led the nation in tackles for loss (22.5)—second-most in a single season at Louisville—and added 11 sacks. Now Fields will be one of eight returning starters on the Cardinals' defense in 2016.
