J’Vonne Hadley the “heart and soul” of surging CU Buffs men’s basketball

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:32:25 GMT

J’Vonne Hadley has developed into a dependable 10-and-six guy, consistently delivering double-figure points alongside sturdy work on the glass.At 6-foot-6, Hadley often operates at a size disadvantage inside. But that frame also makes him a versatile defender, a trait that has been on display for a Colorado men’s basketball team that improved to 8-2 with a thorough 90-68 nonconference win on Friday night against Northern Colorado.Hadley turned in yet another efficient outing, going 6-for-9 with 15 points, five rebounds and a career-high six assists. Hadley also recorded a pair of steals and, during the week, lobbied head coach Tad Boyle for the defensive assignment against UNC’s leading scorer, 6-foot-7 forward Saint Thomas.“That’s just who he is,” Boyle said. “What I love about J’Vonne is he basically, after the scouting report (Thursday), he came up to me and said, ‘Coach, I want Saint Thomas.’ We could’ve put Tristan (da Silva) on him. We could’ve put size on him. It could’ve bee...

In a Major Snub to Obama, Biden Is Sticking With Trump When It Comes to Cuba Policy

This article was originally published as a newsletter from Ryan Grim. Sign up to get the next one in your inbox.If there was any issue that dominated more air time during the Trump administration than immigration, I don’t remember what it was. From The Wall, to the Muslim ban, to the kids in cages, there was universal recognition within the Democratic coalition that Trump’s nativist approach, fueled by the maniacal advisor Stephen Miller, was beyond the pale. Trump also fueled a migration crisis, sanctioning Venezuela after a failed coup, relisting Cuba as a State Sponsor of Terror after Obama had moved toward normalization, and otherwise destabilizing countries in the Western Hemisphere – destabilization that then drove people northward. He would then weaponize that migration in the service of tighter crackdowns. What little difference a new president makes. Though rhetoric toward migrants is more humane coming from President Biden, the White House is now signaling it is on bo...
