Goodman's blog has a quick update on Patrick Patterson and Jai Lucas. They are expected to announce on Monday and a package deal is a possibility according to Goodman. This is good news for Florida and Kentucky since they are on both players lists. Not good news for Duke and Oklahoma State because they are not...
My outsider speculation? The weight of two back-to-back national championships at Florida is hard to beat, but don't count out Billy Gillispie. He could use the Florida success to his advantage: "you can be the next Taurean Green/Al Holford here at UK and write your own chapter in history instead of being in the shadow of Noah/Horford/Brewer/Green". Prediction: Florida 55% Kentucky 45%. I think Oklahoma State is there out of respect from the Lucas'es for the Suttons (and it helps Oklahoma State's recruiting just by being mentioned)... As far as Duke, I think it's pretty obvious why Patrick Patterson shouldn't go there.
Two players bolt out of Utah (and you can't blame Majerus for these ones!)
If DePaul cannot go to Croatia, bring the Croatian to DePaul. DePaul is one of my sleeper teams for next year! Jerry Weinwright is the next John Beilein imho!
LSU releases one from their LOI
USC gains two (they are losing Nick Young to the NBA after all)
Not to be outdone, Kansas State gets three (two jucos and one prepster). Take that USC! Bob Huggins did a great.... OOOPS! He is no longer there!
Mid-majors get new blood: Valpo, Smurf Turf State (Boise State), Canisius, and a few more
A round-up of some of the latest happenings at A Sea of Blue, including discussion of the Rivals Top 150 of 2008 at the Wildcat Maniacs boards, with emphasis on players on Kentucky's radar... A number of top 2008 players are still available. Basketball coaches, text them while you can!
