Big Monday (not so much)

The blog today was switched to Blogger2, with some new features, the first one I am trying being labels (aka tags).

For the latest in recruiting news, including USC getting three (yes 3!) 2008 guards, at Recruiting Wars

Sad news for Virginia Tech. Following all the tragedies surrounding the basketball team last year, a deadly shooting rampage took place (espn story) at the university leaving 33+ dead. Sad story :-( Yahoo News coverage. Live coverage on ESPN News, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, Fox News, Headline News, also some local NBC and Fox affiliates (at 5pm ET/2pm PT)... Also coverage by the student paper at Virginia Tech.

The biggest recruit Mark Turgeon will likely ever get at Texas A&M just re-affirmed his commitment to Texas A&M (espn story). DeAndre Jordan is staying put!

Louisiana Tech has found itself a brand new head coach, with head-coaching experience, the man who was the interim coach when Rick Majerus stepped down from Utah. Kupp was also an assistant under Mike Davis at Indiana and UAB. FireBilly.com story, and ESPN story

Big Brother has expunged some of the O'Brien violations at Ohio State. Only because of technicalities however, as the NCAA bureaucrats missed a filing deadline by two days.


NBA Draft Rumors

Draft coverage as it affects College Basketball here.

Checks HoopsHype.com for the latest NBA rumors as they pertain to college hoops... According to HoopsHype, Thad Matta is expected to meet with the three freshmen today (Oden, Conley, Cook). Meanwhile this can get a big soap-opera-ish as Oden's dad adamantly is on record wanting Oden to go, while his potential agent (and former coach, and best friend's dad) Mike Conley Sr says Greg has not made up his mind yet... Interesting reading for sure! Two of USC's top players (Nick Young, Gabe Pruitt) will announce their intentions on Tuesday. Make sure you bookmark HoopsHype.com for all the draft news and rumors!
