1. Either West Virginia or Kansas could land a potential impact transfer. Former LaSalle power forward Aaric Murray, who averaged 15.2 points and 7.7 rebounds last season as a sophomore, will transfer to either the Jayhawks or the Mountaineers, CBSSports.com reported on Saturday.
2. Dion Waiters, a reserve guard with a promising future, may not return to Syracuse for his sophomore season. Speaking at a clinic at Manhattan College on Saturday, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said Waiters' return to Syracuse is "up in the air" and will be resolved in the next few weeks.
3. Joseph Uchebo's decision to seek a release from his letter of intent with NC State should spark a feeding frenzy for his services. Expect the promising Class of 2011 big man to receive interest from every program with a vacant scholarship and a need for a post player to shore up next season's frontcourt rotation.
4. Even before Klay Thompson announces whether he'll turn pro or return to school, Washington State has lost a significant member of its starting lineup. DeAngelo Casto, the Cougars' best big man last season, will pursue a professional career in part because he needed to make money to support his young son.
5. This Kansas City star piece on Josh Selby may not change your mind about the Kansas freshman's decision to turn pro after a disappointing season, but it will at least help you better understand his choice. Selby hails from a particularly rough part of Baltimore and intends to help make a better life for his mother.
Former Villanova forward Will Sheridan clearly didn't have Guns N Roses in mind when he created a music video entitled "Welcome to the Jungle." Sheridan's "Welcome to the Jungle" is an African-inspired rap that's light on lyrics and hooks and heavy on rhythm.
"A friend called me and told me what was being reported. I was like, 'What? What are you talking about?' I was shocked, just shocked. Just disbelief, total disbelief that those three individuals were involved." -- Former San Diego coach Brad Holland on the point shaving scandal involving two of his former players and a former assistant coach.
