Catching up with a week's worth of new commits!

We fell behind in our updates and now we pay the price with all the new waves of commitments and de-commitments!

We start with CSTV's excellent Hodge Report which features free player profiles and databases of commitments by college or conference and a lot more for the sweet price of FREE :)

On the anxiously waiting front, top 20 forward Tyler Zeller is down to four schools and he will announce on Monday. Who will it be? Who will it be? Will Ole Roy get yelled at if he doesn't steal him out of the state of Indiana?

John Brady continues to bring on talented players at LSU, this time he gets a top 100 center from Texas.

The Morris Twins saga is over, at least for now, the Stewart twins Morris Twins have selected a new destination, one of the top ten college basketball programs in the country. Click on the Hodge Report story for the reveal. I don't want to spoil the surprise like an ugly bird ;-)


Other teams getting new players

  • Duke grabs a guard from TN, will he transfer to Bruce Pearl or John Calipari in 2009? :)
  • Despite the phone scandals, Kelvin "500 calls" Sampson grabs another wing
  • Jerry Tark Kruger gets a wing from the East Coast to "play" in Vegas and beats Turn Around "Juco" Tom for a JuCo.
  • Leonard Hamilton who looked great on paper for the Florida State job but has been unable to break out has picked up a top 50 big mean, beating out an in-state school and Thuggins
  • Some good news for one of our favorite coaches, Seth Greenberg and Virginia Tech as they manage to get a 2009 recruit, as they continue to recover from the tragic shootings.
  • A player from Durham, North Carolina (no relation to Duke) likes to get yelled at non-stop. Why? He chose ...Texas Tech.
  • Tubby Smith gets a high profile fro the Timbergophers by signing the son of a former Virgina super-star.
  • Tom Crean continues to stock pile talent, this time with a St Anthony's guard
  • The Oregon schools continue to go to the mid-west, this time Oregon State grabs a top 100 guard. Maybe Ernie Kent and Jay John should consider getting new coaching jobs in the mid-west? :)
  • The Godfather's tree continues to grow, as Travis Ford picks up a 2010 at UMass and Sendek picks up a top 100 2009 guard.
  • Hey, it's Tommy Amaker again! Free from the tyrants of Ann Arbor (presumably his side of the story), Amaker is loading up with new talent as a new player finds a ...nest at Harvard (yes, we specialize in obnoxiously silly puns).
  • James Madison is looking at perhaps the next JP Batista from the JuCo ranks?
  • Tiki Mayben resurfaces near Syracuse, at a mid-major.


    More teams gaining new talent: Pacific, Ball "coaching scandal" State, South Florida, South Alabama, Penn, Tulsa with Izzo Jr, the rebooted East Carolina, Oral "scandalous" Roberts, and many more!


    I didn't really commit!
  • Baylor loses one to a change of mind.


    Downgrading (going from D1 to D2, D3, or NAIA)
    Teams losing players to downgrades (a lot of these "encouraged" by the coaching staff who are obviously just "teachers" and "care" about each player and want them to stay, "keep their scholarship", and graduate, even if they can't play): Tubby Smith's TimberGophers, Pepperdine's AASAA, St Peters, Idaho State and more.
