Justin Pippen, the youngest son of NBA legend Scottie Pippen, announced on Friday his commitment to play for Michigan.

• Justin Pippen, a 6-foot-3 senior guard at Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles, also considered Texas A&M, Florida, Stanford and Cal, according to multiple media reports.

  Landing the four-star prospect was an early coup for new Michigan coach Dusty May, who is new on the job after being hired to replace Juwan Howard.

  "The coaches were great to me," Pippen said, according to The Athletic. "They showed me a lot of hospitality. They gave me really good pitches. They see me coming in as a player who can impact the floor right away."

  He added in an interview with ESPN, "I like the feel of the campus and school. I wanted to be at a big school. They can help me reach my end goal of making the NBA."

  Justin Pippen's brother, 23-year-old Scotty Pippen Jr., is a guard for the Memphis Grizzlies. Their father spent most of his Hall of Fame career with the Chicago Bulls, teaming with Michael Jordan to win six NBA championships.

  "I feel like my brother has increased my work ethic, for sure," Justin Pippen told Yahoo Sports. "Just being in the gym with him and other pros this summer, and my dad as well. He's just telling me to wake up every single day and put the work in."

  Justin Pippen was a high school teammate of LeBron James' son Bronny at Sierra Canyon. According to The Athletic, he averaged 16.5 points and 4.9 assists in his senior season. ESPN reported that Pippen is likely to be listed among the nation's top 100 prospects when the final list is published, though he wasn't in that group previously.

UConn freshman Stephon Castle, who dazzled on the national stage in the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament, has thrown his name into the 2024 NBA Draft, he told ESPN on Friday.

• Castle could wind up as a lottery pick. ESPN ranks the 6-foot-6 guard at No. 9 on its list of top 100 prospects for the June 26-27 draft.

  He has hired an agent, meaning he won't be able to pull out of the draft and return to the national champion Huskies.

  He joins teammates Donovan Clingan and Alex Karaban in declaring for the draft, though Karaban hasn't hired an agent and is keeping the door open to return to school. UConn's other starters -- Cam Spencer and Tristen Newton -- are out of eligibility.

  An elite defender, Castle averaged 11.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 34 games (30 starts). In the Final Four against Alabama and Purdue, he averaged 18.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

My experience here has exceeded my expectations and I am blessed to be part of back-to-back national championships."

  In the 2024 Final Four, Karaban posted 14 points and eight rebounds against Alabama to help UConn reach the national championship game against Purdue. He had five points, six boards and four assists as the Huskies topped the Boilermakers for the national title.

  Karaban scored 20 or more points eight times this season.

Former Georgetown guard/forward Dontrez Styles committed to transfer to North Carolina State, multiple media outlets reported on Thursday.

• The Atlantic Coast Conference is familiar turf for Styles, a former Kinston High (N.C.) star who began his college career at North Carolina for two seasons before transferring to Georgetown.

  Styles played sparingly during his time at North Carolina, logging averages of 1.8 points and 1.3 rebounds in 45 games off the bench.

  NC State lands Styles after coming off an impressive Final Four run. The Wolfpack lost their final four regular-season games to fall to 17-14 before winning five games in five days at the ACC tournament to claim the league's automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament.

  No. 11 seed NC State then won its first four NCAA tourney contests, including a 76-64 win over Duke to reach the Final Four. The magical run ended with a 63-50 loss to Purdue in the national semifinals.

Former Louisville head coach Kenny Payne has reunited with John Calipari at Arkansas.

• Payne will serve as the Razorbacks' associate head coach, the program announced Thursday.

  Payne was 12-52 in two seasons coaching his alma mater, including 8-24 in 2023-24, before being dismissed.

Kentucky freshman star Reed Sheppard announced Thursday that he is entering the 2024 NBA Draft.

• Sheppard posted a video to social media thanking fans and also told ESPN that he is "going all-in," forgoing his remaining collegiate eligibility.

  The son of former Kentucky basketball stars Jeff Sheppard and Stacey Reed, Reed Sheppard was named the National Freshman of the Year by the USBWA and NABC after emerging from Kentucky's touted, crowded freshman class.

  Sheppard averaged 12.5 points, 4.5 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 2.5 steals across 33 games (only five starts) while shooting a remarkable 52.1 percent from 3-point range.

  He is projected to be a lottery pick this June by many mock drafts.

  "Playing basketball at the University of Kentucky was a huge part of my dream," Sheppard said in his video. "I am so thankful to wear the blue and white jersey that represents my family, my friends and the hardworking, faithful fans of the Big Blue Nation. Kentucky is home. Kentucky will always be home.

  "However, there is another part of my dream: to play basketball in the NBA. I believe it is time to pursue that dream. Therefore, I will be entering my name into the NBA draft today."

  Sheppard's decision came in the middle of a transition to a new head coach after John Calipari parted ways with the school to take the Arkansas job.

  But the new hire was no stranger to Sheppard. Kentucky named former Wildcats player Mark Pope, who was head coach at BYU, as Calipari's replacement.

  Jeff Sheppard and Pope were teammates and roommates at Kentucky in the 1990s and remain close friends. Pope said before the announcement he understood Reed Sheppard was making more than a stay-or-go call because of lottery pick draft grades.

  "Reed is in that elite air status where he's a lottery pick," Pope said last week. "He's going to be the fourth or fifth or sixth or seventh pick in the NBA Draft. That is not something to be taken lightly. It's really extraordinary."

  Sheppard, who grew up in Kentucky, thanked the fan base throughout his video.

  "You have been with me from Day 1, faithful and passionate," he said. "I am asking you to go with me on this journey. I am looking forward to taking you with me."

Arizona guard Caleb Love plans to test interest from the NBA during the pre-draft process without forfeiting his final year of college eligibility.

• Love spent last season at Arizona and was named Pac-12 Player of the Year and a third-team All-American. He played his first three seasons at North Carolina.

  "First and foremost, I'm filled with gratitude for such an amazing experience to play at the University of Arizona," Love said in a social media post. "I thank God for allowing me to be in the position I'm in today. I want to thank my family for their unwavering support every step of the way. I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to Coach Tommy Lloyd and the entire U of A coaching staff for embracing me and giving me this remarkable opportunity to become a Wildcat. I'm forever grateful! To my teammates, I'm thankful we were on this journey together. You all are my brothers for life. I've taken some much-needed time with my family to think about what's next for me and I've decided to enter the 2024 NBA Draft while maintaining my eligibility. Thank you, Wildcat Nation and Arizona community, for showing me so much love. You all will always hold a special place in my heart."

  Love, 22, has one year of eligibility remaining due to COVID-19 rules that afford an extra year to student-athletes in college during the pandemic. He was a McDonald's High School All-American out of St. Louis and was with the Tar Heels during coach Roy Williams' final season in Chapel Hill.

  Love averaged a team-high 18.7 points in his only season with the Wildcats but went through multiple shooting slumps. He finished the year with a career-best 41.3 shooting percentage, but at 6-foot-3 is likely to be in for a transition to point guard in the NBA.
