Breakfast Buffet: West Virginia lands point guard of future
Breakfast Buffet: West Virginia lands point guard of future
1. Dayton transfer Juwan Staten had been planning to attend Penn State next season before the abrupt resignation of guard-oriented coach Ed DeChellis caused him to quickly reconsider. Now the former top 75 recruit has decided to transfer to West Virginia , where he and LaSalle transfer Aaric Murray will sit out a year before becoming eligible for the 2012-13 season.
2. Spurned by high school prospects Angelo Chol and Norvel Pelle and junior college star God's Gift Achiuwa, [Washington]e|OOD has finally found a big man to provide the depth it lacked for next season. German forward Martin Breunig, who backed out of his letter of intent to Maryland after Gary Williams' resignation, chose [Washington]e|OOD over South Florida on Sunday.
3. From Taylor King, to Gary Franklin, to the Wear twins, numerous former Santa Ana Mater Dei stars have transferred once they've gotten to college. The Los Angeles Times examines the trend , which in part appears to be a product of Mater Dei prospects being overexposed and overhyped in high school and then dissatisfied with their playing time or production in college.
4. The Big Ten basketball tournament will rotate between two of the Midwest's premier basketball venues. The United Center in [Chicago]e|place will host the men's and women's basketball tournaments in 2013 and 2015, while Conseco Fieldhouse in [Indianapolis]e|place will be the host in 2012, 2014 and 2016.
5. Much of the reason Boston University 's Pat Chambers has been lauded as a good hire for Penn State stems from his recruiting ties to [Philadelphia]e|OOD . ESPN.com's Dana O'Neil argues eloquently that it's just as important that the 39-year-old Chambers will bring youth, energy and pizazz to a program that has lacked those qualities in recent years.
UNC-Asheville's John Williams proves Blake Griffin isn't the only basketball player who can leap over a car and throw down a dunk. Credit the 6-4 Williams for leaping the roof of the car rather than the hood the way Griffin did, though it would have been a better video if he dunked all in one motion.
"He will be drafted within the first 25 minutes of the draft. I've made one comment to all the teams, whatever you think his upside is within three or four years, he will become that because of his work ethic.." -- Kentucky coach John Calipari on the draft prospects of point guard Brandon Knight.
