Weekend Update

Rob Harrington of the online edition of the multi-color fishwrap wonders who will take over the class of 2008?.

He also posts his initial class rankings of 2008

CNNSI.com talks about Greg Monroe being a force. And who will be the lucky team and coach to sign him for at least one year?

Good news for the CAA according to the Hodge Report of CSTV as UNC Wilmington boldy goes (bald) and gets a 2008 forward.

Yes, all the silly puns are intended, although not necessarily funny. If they were, I would be on Comedy Central :)

Goodman blogs about Florida;s new center. Dick Hoops Weiss chimes in as well.

Goodman also talks about Billy Gillespie's recruiting efforts at Kentucky. Also at FireBilly

Kentucky recruiting thoughts at A Sea of Blue

Marshall picks up some of the Zags magic as they get P-Mac as a transfer. P-Mac is short for Pierre Marie Altidor Cespedes (I did not cut/paste folks, I typed it all in!). P-Mac was grandfathered in the now doomed (and deemed free agency rule) that was rescinded. But he petitioned and he was grandfathered in so he will be eligible to play in 2007-2008, his final year of eligibility. New head coach Donnie Jones (former Florida assistant) is stockpiling talent and hopes to take advantages of the vacuum of power at the top of Conference USA behind the Calipari Experiment and the loaded UAB squad.

The George Mason blog says that Coach L is pursuing four players from the DC Assault AAU team, three in 2009 and one in 2010.

The Indiana Hoosiers are considering a new arena. The Kelvin Sampson effect?
