Stanton Kidd’s college pathway started at South Plains Texans (2010–2012), where he played two seasons in one of the country’s powerhouse junior college programs and was part of the Texans’ 2011–12 NJCAA National Championship run that finished 36–0, along with conference (WJCAC) and Region V titles. In his sophomore year, he was second on the team at 11.9 points per game and added 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.3 steals, while shooting 60% from the field and 74% at the line, with 24-point highs against Trinity Valley (Nov. 11) and Odessa (Feb. 13).
He then transferred to **North Carolina Central Eagles for the 2012–13 season, immediately becoming one of the MEAC’s most productive forwards. Kidd started all 31 games and earned First Team All-MEAC, while also picking up BoxtoRow All-American honours and second-team All-State recognition from the NCCSIA, plus two MEAC Player of the Week awards. Statistically, he finished third in the MEAC in scoring (14.5 ppg), eighth in rebounding (6.9 rpg), and fifth in field-goal percentage (55.3%), with four double-doubles on the year.
A key early-season stretch at NCCU included a 22-point debut vs Wichita State, then a signature rivalry performance against North Carolina A&T where he dropped a career-high 24 points and went a perfect 13-for-13 at the free-throw line—a week that earned him MEAC Player of the Week after he totaled 38 points and 12 rebounds across two wins (including Utah Valley).
Kidd moved again ahead of 2013–14, transferring to **Colorado State Rams and sitting the 2013–14 season under NCAA transfer rules before playing his final year in 2014–15. In that season, he started all 34 games and averaged 11.6 points per game, hitting 148 field goals and 37 three-pointers, while shooting .464 from the field, .402 from three (37/92) and .741 at the line (60/81), with 172 total rebounds (5.1 rpg) and 82 assists.
Across those Division I stops, his biggest NCAA “snapshot” year came at NCCU where he stacked high-volume production with conference recognition (First Team All-MEAC, multiple Player of the Week awards) before finishing at Colorado State as an every-game starter in the Mountain West after his redshirt transfer season.

The conversation around NBL expansion has intensified in recent years, with the league publicly confirming discussions with potential markets such as Canberra, the Gold Coast, and Darwin. However, one city that continues to quietly build momentum as a realistic candidate for a future franchise is Newcastle. While it may not always dominate the expansion headlines, the pieces required for an NBL return are slowly aligning, and according to former owner of the Illawarra Hawks, Dorry Kordahi, the push for a Newcastle team is very real.…
READ MOREMost 16-year-olds would take the bag. Luke Paul wants to take a beating.

The 16-year-old Australian talent is a 6'6" point guard widely tipped as a future NBA lottery pick who reportedly turned down US college offers worth up to $3 million to stay home. He didn't do it for comfort. He didn't do it for safety. According to Paul, he did it…

The Phoenix overcame a career-high 36-point outing from Majok Deng, with Angus Glover leading the way with 21 points and seven three-pointers as the home side’s firepower proved too much. Despite the result, coach Josh King said his group still needs to produce a complete four-quarter performance, particularly…

READ MOREFive to ten years ago, if an Australian headed to Japan, it was typically because of not making NBL roster spots. Players like Venky Jois, Daniel Dillon and Rhys Vague fit this profile. Now Australian basketballers looking to play overseas rarely viewed Japan as a serious career destination. The traditional pathways pointed elsewhere, but that perception has shifted rapidly. Today, Japan’s B.League has emerged as a legitimate and increasingly attractive option for Australian players seeking strong contracts, defined roles, and long-term professional stability.Today, that narrative…
