Brick's Hoops Recruiting Notebook

...Since our last issue, North Carolina, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech landed commitments from well-regarded rising senior (Class of 2009) wings, while other ACC schools were being considered by high-profile transfers from NCAA runner-up Memphis and national semifinalist UCLA.

On the negative side, a Maryland freshman expected to become an outstanding frontcourt player suddenly departed College Park for South Florida, another prime Terrapin signee from the Class of 2008 still was seeking a qualifying standardized test score when he took the final (June) SAT of the 2007-08 academic year, and one of Virginia Tech’s three 2008 signees failed to qualify and likely will attend a junior college this fall. more...

BIZARRE RECRUITING CYCLE RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT MARYLAND HOOPS PROGRAM
July 1, 2008

Gary Williams almost always is straight to the point.

Good or bad, you know where you stand with the Maryland basketball coach. At 63 years old and entering a 20th season at his alma mater, Williams doesn’t seem likely to change anytime soon.

So when it comes to the past year for the Terrapins, being blunt, it is nearly impossible to imagine things being more bizarre off the court. more...

MIAMI: END OVERSHADOWED BASEBALL’S SUCCESS
July 1, 2008

Despite the fact that he was a soon-to-be millionaire, Miami first baseman Yonder Alonso had trouble holding back the tears.
