It sure is boring without basketball on the tube…
- Alabama PG and former all-american Ronald Steele made the smart decision and is heading back to Tuscaloosa for his senior campaign. Oops – maybe not yet.
- Arizona’s Nic Wise has decided to stick it out at UA – he had previously said he was transferring. Since Lute finally got to the end of his divorce fiasco, maybe the good folks in the desert can get back to worrying about basketball this year.
- More OJ Mayo scandal – getting an Attorney General involved is never a good thing (unless Elliot Spitzer is springing for the booze and hos).
- Gary Parrish points out that former Iowa St. reject and D-League star Mike Taylor’s solid week at the NBA Predraft Camp in Orlando last week fashions him a sort of trailblazer for knuckleheads who can’t stick with college programs but still want a direct route to the NBA. Um, good luck with that.
- How similar is this year’s draft class to the 1996 class?
