For his final year of college basketball, Terence Jones knew exactly what he wanted in a program.
After nine seasons of scowling, stomping and sweating his way through games on Virginia Tech's bench, Seth Greenberg was fired Monday from his position as Tech's men's basketball coach.
CBSSports.com’s Jeff Goodman posted his amazingly comprehensive Division I basketball transfer list this morning. With 300-plus names and counting, there were sure to be tons of local guys mentioned.
Gavin Stephenson was admittedly perplexed. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound combo guard played well for Crusader Nation on the AAU circuit over the summer, but attention from college programs was surprisingly minimal.
Each summer I catch up with all nine Division I basketball coaches in Maryland to talk about their incoming recruiting classes. Then comes my take, based on those interviews, of how those new additions will do in college. Here's a look at how I fared in those predictions:
Navy basketball coach Ed DeChellis is not a man adept at hiding how he feels.
Say what you will about John Calipari. Call him a sleaze-bag (he's been called worse) for his recruiting methods. Rip him for the vacated seasons and Final Four appearances at Massachusetts and Memphis when players and agents did questionable things on his watch. Mock him for how oily and unctuous he can sound in interviews.Â
The next time college basketball fans see Kentucky, the newly crowned national champions will look a lot different.
