Shocking but Michael Beasley may become available!

While everyone was expecting news from the Billy Donovan and Florida frontier to surprise, it came out of left-field: Just posted at FoxSports.com by Jeff Goodman, Bob Huggins will accept the West Virginia job, leaving Kansas State behind after just one year!

This means that Michael Beasley who committed to Kansas State because of Bob Huggins will want out of his commitment! That means he is back in play! The Beasly sweepstakes are (re)starting!.

It will also be interesting to see what the other players do, since a lot of them committed to Kansas State because they wanted to play for Bob Huggins. This could turn out to be quite scandalous if they all want to follow him to Morgantown!

More on this, the coaching carousel, Kentucky and the five NBA Draft announcements coming today at NCAA Hoops Today


Committed to Huggins's Kansas State for 2007

  • Michael Beasley, top-tier forward
  • Dominique Sutton, high-flying wing player
  • Rotation guards: Jacob Pullen, Fred Brown, Tyree Evans (JC; committed to Huggins back when he was at Cincy)
  • No commitments for 2008.
  • For more details, check their player profiles at CSTV.com (free, no registration)


    This may also further complicate Patrick Patterson's recruiting, as he is from West Virginia, and Huggins is from West Virginia. OJ Mayo's from there too, although it would be harder for him to back out since he is committed to the bright marketing lights of LA.


    April Fools Day Recruiting Rumor of the Year
  • You can dream big, especially on April Fools Day. This Pacific fan posted this April Fools Day story: the most highly sought after recruit, Patrick Patterson has committed to the University of the Pacific (Pacific is in the Big West). He managed to tie in the story with the Billy Donovan to Kentucky rumors. This is my favorite April Fools story of this year! Well done!

    Certainly if they are able to keep all the current and incoming players, Kansas State will be very talented...

    The coaches are not experienced, but this is would not be the first time we see a new group of young coaches (Frank Martin, Delonte Hill) taking over and doing even better than their predecessors. A higher risk, higher reward situation, perhaps...
