One of the most touted recruits of the class of 2008 has decided to remain in-state. Details at 11 (or at Recruiting Wars

The Majerus Watch is a popular item on this blog. Dick "Hoops" Weiss has a story at FoxSports on this very topic, Can Majerus work that magic again?. Majerus hopes to be able to fill (no pun intended) the new 10,000 seat on-campus arena and turn it into a home court advantage.

Speaking of Dick "Hoops" Weiss, he has a number of updates on his blog, including a Big East roundup covering the two Georgetown players in the NBA Draft (Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert), Seton Hall's new home arena, an update on the Big East conference tournament format, Vitale raising over $1 million dollars in the fight against cancer with his event (including two $100,000 impromptu donations!), the status of former Villanova star Howard Porter, and some mid-major love for St Peter's. His blog is always a source of news and tidbits! Bookmark his blog!

A Sea of Blue has a write-up on Kentucky, 60 days after Tubby Smith left for the TimberGophers.

A number of updates on Goodman's blog, including a lead story on spoiled brat and cry-baby Greg Paula of Duke, Thad Matta steals one of Herb Sendek's assistants, Kelvin "500 calls" Sampson is able to phone-spam again, and a feature on a mid-major school which I'm sure will thrill mid-major fans since the big media usually concentrates on the BCS teams.

FoxSports sources claim that tall freshman point guard Javaris Crittenton will hire an agent. Sad news for Paul Hewitt and Georgia Tech as they just lost a touted 2008 recruit today as well.

It appears that talented Rodney Stuckey of Eastern Washington is also going to be hiring an agent. He is too talented for the Big Sky (no offense to Big Sky fans!)
