We’re trying to sort through some laptop issues as well as a long-term strategic analysis of the site, so bear with us as we’re only doing semi-regular updates this week…
-
Georgetown should be in much better position to make a nice run in the Big East next season as BE FrOY Greg Monroe has decided to return for his sophomore season.
-
Oklahoma’s Willie Warren will also return for his encore year. It’s getting easier to fill out potential 2009-10 all-america lists now.
-
Notre Dame’s 09-10 success might hinge on the shoulders of Luke Harangody’s decision, of which he is currently waffling about. He is expected to test the waters, but he’s uncertain about what his threshold will be to return.
-
Staying in the Big East, Syracuse’s Jonny Flynn removed all doubt by signing with an agent. We’ll never understand why marginal prospects with the option of returning to school make such a poor decision by closing off that option so early.
-
Greg Paulus has received a scholarship offer to play at Michigan next year in football. Others are probably coming. Who would have guessed this kind of post-graduate recruiting war in a different sport would start over a Duke PG?
-
Former national champion UCLA PG Cameron Dollar will leave Lorenzo Romar’s UW staff to take the head job at Seattle University, as it continues its transition into D1 basketball.
-
John Calipari’s Kentucky gig is off to a quick start as he evaluates returning talent and continues recruiting (even if he doesn’t have office keys yet).
-
Gary Parrish writes an interesting article about the coaching carousel, and how schools like Arizona, Georgia and Memphis got a little burned by overplaying their hand(s) and ill preparation. Interesting piece.
