Steve Alford's loss will become someone else's gain?

  • New news from CSTV's Hodge Report! Drew Gordon's high profile teammate decides on a school and it's nearby. Steve Alford is crying because a touted forward was denied admission (who will enter the sweepstakes now?) And Illinois State gets an in-state guard.
  • Pitino commit Lamont Jones is changing high schools for family reasons according to Dick Hoops Weiss. Despite the Sebastian Telfair saga, Pitino has not backed away from NYC guards. Well it helps that the NBA rule was changed too.

    Calipari finds an Angel, Vermont finds its Mojo

    The latest news from the Hodge Report on CSTV inform us that Calipari has an Angel, the rebuilding Miami (of Florida) gets a Top 50 player, two formerly NCAA-spotlight mid-majors get BCS transfers (Vermont and Saint Mary's of C'lifornia), and IPFW adds two D1 transfers. Vermont may have lost Tom Brennan but they have found their... mojo. Want more silly puns? Check this blog regularly :)

    Goodman's latest blog has a couple of recruiting interest stories in the Random Notes segment where he talks of Leonard Washington trying to become eligible for December 2007 (it looks Billy Walker's high profile arrival at Huggins State last year is opening the door for more December arrivals).

    Weekend update (two transfers find new homes and more)

  • 2007 NCAA College Basketball Tournament games on DVD!
  • The latest Hodge Report discusses a couple of transfers from Oregon State and Duquesne finding new homes. Check their website for details. Teams adding new commits: Winthrop (2), Montana, Indiana State (not the next Larry Bird?), Morehead State, McNeese and A&M Prairie View. Also according to TexasHoops.com six players who were headed to Division 1 have been diverted to JuCo. This includes TCU, Majerus (St Louis) and Nebraska (former USC commit). In cases like these it's usually academics although sometimes coaches use this technique to free up scholarships for next season or to "drop" a player.
  • Five star forward Angel Garcia has made up his mind, but only Rivals premium members can find out where he is going to be playing :-(
