The Buffs will lost their starting center. The Eddie Lampkin Experience will be a year one-year phenomenon, it seems. CBS Sports reported Jon Rothstein posted this morning that the senior big man will be entering the transfer portal.
It never took much for Evan Battey to flash his engaging smile. Saturday’s festivities at the CU Events Center — partly a reunion, partly the start of a short but demanding training camp — made it easy to share a few grins.
Tad Boyle didn’t expressly state his preference for the sort of athlete he prefers manning the post for Colorado. Still, in the wake of the sudden postseason
It was a telling revelation. And maybe one that at least partially explains why the Colorado men’s basketball team has been unable to put together a legitimate hot streak the entire season.
Jabari Walker left behind a sizeable hole on the glass. The rebounding void left behind by Evan Battey wasn’t as large, yet still was significant. The Colorado men’s basketball team also has experienced less than the desired returns from the top returning rebounder from last season.
The continued development of Tristan da Silva and KJ Simpson is one of the biggest reasons why the Colorado men’s basketball team expect to offset the loss of Jabari Walker and Evan Battey.
Evan Battey is more than ready to take the next step in his basketball journey. And he might very well follow in the footsteps of another recent Colorado big man to start his professional career.
A pair of athletes who have set the tone for two of Colorado’s most successful athletic programs in recent years have landed a prestigious final honor as they move on from their time in Boulder.
Colorado’s Evan Battey isn’t done playing basketball this season and representing the Buffaloes. The senior forward has been selected to participate in the 2022 Dos Equis 3X3U National Championship, scheduled for April 1-3 at The Sugar Mill in New Orleans.
Of course there were hugs. With Evan Battey set to exit the building for the final time, there wasn’t going to be another way. Bear hugs all around. During the opening introductions, it was clear there was a different vibe around Colorado’s beloved big man.

The Colorado men’s basketball team has no choice but to focus on moving forward. Yet the view ahead suddenly has become doubly daunting. After a five-game winning streak came to a screeching halt during an ugly performance on Thursday night, the Buffs will be forced to try and get back on track against No.
