This week in recruiting

  • Mark your calendars: The Nike Hoop Summit will air this Saturday on FSN with multiple replays on Fox College Sports. This is arguably the most serious of the all-star games. One week later, CSTV will be broadcasting the Roundball classic and later on ESPN2/ESPNU will be showing the Jordan classic. CSTV will also be running reruns of the Reebok and Adidas summer camps.
  • As I predicted, one of the three Duke Top100 benchwarmers has decided to transfer. And it is Eric Boetang. I wouldn't be surprised if the other two (Boykin, Pocius) are gone by June 2007. Coach K had three Top 100 players collecting dust on the bench. Other players of equal ability on other teams have already had significant playing time and experience and developed their game. Coach K was whining about bench, but he did have a bench, he just chose to use a short rotation.
  • Not all is well at blue-blood Michigan-land. Tommy Amaker may have built an NIT powerhouse in Michigan, but that may not be good enough. 2007 recruit Alex Legion just decommitted from Michigan.
  • Furthermore, the list of tranfers and decommits following the recent coaching changes is getting longer and longer. The most notable transfer is the speedy little guard Davon Downey of Cincinatti, while the most notable decommit is 2007 DC PG Chris Wright from NC State.
