Did you know you could get thrown into jail in England for "abusive tweets?" Now you do. So if you're headed across the pond to Jolly Ole, you might want to avoid Twitter. Just... you know, in case.

Matt Elam is a 3-star on Rivals.com, but a 5-star on 247.com. That's an unusual disparity. Via Hank.

Hope sells. Consider:
"Changing the culture of a program in recruits' eyes isn't done overnight," [Kentucky Coach Mark] Stoops said. "That's why we came in and tried to do things a little bit different than the other guys. We have used social media a lot in recruiting to sell our message and use the other neat ways like sending recruits a lot of letters at once to get out there in front of prospects.
Whatever works (and is within the rules), I say.

Does Matt Elam even know when Matt Elam will announce his college choice?

Former UCLA head coach Karl Dorrell hired as offensive coordinator at Vanderbilt. I'd call that a good hire, on its face.

Clint Hurtt is leaving Louisville for the NFL. I wonder how much of this is butt-hurt from the media bashing the Cardinals have been taking? Try reading some of the comments over at Card Chronicle for a little humor. ESPN also has reaction here. Via Hank.

Some upsets last night. Portland knocks off BYU, Washington defeats Oregon. UCLA gets a big win over Stanford in Pauley Pavilion. Ohio St. snapped a 4-game losing skid against Illinois.

The NCAA wants the same version of the rules in the tournament as were enforced at the start of the season. My question is, why have we gone back the other way?

Andrew Phelps writing for Card Chronicle wonders how high Louisville's ceiling is. Pretty high, maybe, they have some nice players with upside like Terry Rozier. Not as high as Kentucky's upside, I would say.
