PrintI am done with the UMass debacle, except for updates. At 9:00 AM Eastern time, it has officially become old news at ASoB. So onward, and hopefully, upward.
The San Antonio Express-News has a great article today about Billy Gillispie and his first big-time recruit, Deron Williams. If there was ever any doubt about just how big-time Deron Williams was, I think it has been removed by his recent play with the Utah Jazz. There are some great quotes by Gillispie in this one.
The Charleston (W. Va.) Gazette covers the impact of two former Huntington Highlanders, O.J. Mayo and Patrick Patterson, on the 2007 recruiting scene, and it is considerable.
The Arizona Daily Star says that super-stud point guard Brandon Jennings will announce his college of choice at the Big Time AAU tournament in July. We could really use this guy. Go get him, Billy G. Meanwhile, College Hoops Net says that Gillispie is recruiting his way to Lexington love.
A vigilant reader with a mobile device alerted us to a poll running on Sports Illustrated's website that includes the Wildcats. You have to scroll down to read it.
Update [2007-5-22 16:50:27 by Truzenzuzex]: Jody Demling and Scout (allegedly - I haven't seen the Scout story) are reporting that 2008 super-guard Brandon Jennings has committed to Arizona today. Thanks to ASoB member davw83 for the heads-up. Fox Sports now has the news as well.

"done deal"
I don think it is a "done deal" with Jennings yet. It would be great if it was but I dont see this influencing Jai's recruitment in any way. He went to UF for one reason, immediate playing time. I do think that the longer Jennings waits the better UK's chances as his coach has said that Arizona and Uconn are his early leaders. UK just got into the picture and is doing a great job but Billy G needs a little more time to work his magic.

Ahh ...
Yeah, my opinion is that he will never don the blue and white. Crimson and cream will be his colors of choice.

Look ...
By whom? Under what authority? Is everyone else who bought out a game going to be "forced" also, or just UK?
This question is beyond absurd, and the author should be slapped with a wet noodle for deliberate idiocy.
I'm reporting him to the UK Bias blog. He is much better at dealing with this sort of media idiocy than I am. :-)
