Morning Five: 01.06.10 Edition

Posted by rtmsf on January 6th, 2010

  1. Cal’s hustle and glue guy Jorge Gutierrez will be out of both Bear games this week (vs. UCLA and USC) with a sprained right knee that he suffered in a game against Stanford over the weekend.  Along the same lines, UCLA’s Jerime Anderson will be benched in the Cal game for missing a rehab session, meaning that Tyler Honeycutt will get the first start of his career.
  2. Former Wolverine and current Domino’s Pizza CEO David Brandon will take over as the new Michigan AD.  We know there’s a joke here somewhere.
  3. The first Korean to ever earn a D1 basketball scholarship, Maryland’s Jin Soo Choi, is returning to his home country to pursue basketball opportunities there.
  4. Kalin Lucas is prepping for MSU’s game with Wisconsin by calling the Badgers a “dirty” team.  Should be fun tonight in East Lansing.
  5. Were the self-imposed penalties that USC placed on its basketball program too light?  CNNSI’s George Dohrmann thinks so.
