TweetDuring the regular signing period in April, St. John’s raced up the team recruiting rankings, eventually attaining the second ranked class in the country. Pundits looked at the Red Storm roster, with point guard Malik Stith and talented sophomore Dwayne Polee expected to meld with nine touted incoming recruits, and wondered what coach Steve Lavin [...]

TweetThe sometimes exciting, sometimes head-shake inducing, tenure of talented forward Reeves Nelson is now officially over at UCLA. “After much thought and deliberation, I have made the decision to dismiss Reeves Nelson from the UCLA Men’s Basketball Team effective immediately,” said coach Ben Howland in the school’s official press release. “This decision is not one [...]

TweetAt least for the last three seasons, there’s been a college basketball program with “Wildcats” as their mascot at the top of the recruiting rankings when the dust settles after the regular signing period. It’s looking like the same will happen again this year, but with a different “Wildcats” program as the top dog. A [...]

TweetAfter winning three state championships so far as a high school student, 6′-8″ forward Perry Ellis is a mini-celebrity in his home state. His ties to the state are strong, as evidenced by three in-state schools among his four finalists for his college decision. In the end, Ellis announced his commitment today to the Kansas [...]

TweetOwners of an unprecedented streak of three consecutive top ranked college basketball recruiting classes, it was somewhat unexpected for Kentucky to roll into late Spetember without a commit in the 2012 recruitimg cycle, provided one doesn’t consider NC State transfer point guard Ryan Harrow. The brief “dry spell” was broken, as elite shooting guard Archie [...]

TweetTwo high-major college basketball programs made moves for their future point guards on Sunday, as Louisville and Illinois both landed 2012 lead guard commits. Both pledges are the first verbal commitments of the 2012 classes at each school. 6′-1″ Terry Rozier of Shaker Heights (OH), and 6′-2″ Michael Orris of Crete-Monee (IL) popped for the [...]

TweetOne word describes Flower Mound Marcus (TX) teammates Marcus Smart and Phil Forte: Winners. In fact, few prospects in the high school basketball Class of 2012 have won more games, at a consistent rate. Smart, a 6′-4″ dynamo capable of playing guard and wing, and Forte, a combo guard, have taking their winning style north [...]

TweetWith a new coaching staff full of go-getters and recruiting trail burners, much hope was afforded to long-time Maryland fans with the changing of the coaching guard. Maryland was listed by plenty of blue-chip recruits over the summer as a school under their consideration, but it remained to be seen who the Terrapins would land [...]

TweetThe Atlantic Coast Conference appears to be in somewhat of a state of flux, and there is a definite reorganization of the power structure. Outside of perennial powerhouses Duke and North Carolina, a heavy amount of coaching changes, NBA early entry and other defections have the league in a position to change heavily over the [...]

TweetIn without a doubt the strangest recruitment in the Class of 2011, elite forward prospect DeAndre Daniels has been the center of rumors, innuendo and misinformation. The one-time Texas pledge was alternatively thought to be a lock to Kentucky, then Kansas, and finally Duke was believed to be his leader. In recent days, San Diego [...]
