How did your team do?

TCU took three in the early period, assume we take 1 more in the late period. Best class we have had in a long time, but obviously the competition in the Big 12 is much much tougher so we will see how it translates on the court.

*** SF Brandon Parrish out of Arlington, TX (other offer Rice)

*** PG Michael Williams out of San Antonio, TX (other offers Colorado State, Creighton, Long Beach St, Nebraska, Penn, UTSA, Tulane)

**** C Karviar Shepherd out of Dallas, TX (other offers Baylor, Kansas, LSU, Marquette, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, SMU, Texas, Texas A&M, UCLA)

WVU has 4 recruits for next year, assuming all qualify academically, and a top 25 recruiting class (#21 according to ESPiN)...

4* PF Elijah Macon Brewster Academy (Wolfeboro, NH) 6-8/200 - Commit 9/23/2010 (Post graduate - DNQ 2011)
4* PF Devin Williams Withrow (Cincinnati, OH) 6-9/225 - Commit 11/3/2012
3* C Brandon Watkins Grady (Atlanta, GA) 6-9/210 - Commit 10/7/2011
3* PF Nathan Adrian Morgantown (Morgantown, WV) 6-8/200 - Commit 9/9/2011

KU's signees for 2013 are:

4* 6'7" SF Brannen Greene (25)
4* 6'5" SG Wayne Selden (26)
4* 6'0" PG Conner Frankamp (31)
4* 7'0" C Joel Embiid (UR)
3* 5'11" PG Frank Mason (134)

Coach Self has taken a lot of heat from local fans in recent years for what were perceived to be sub-par recruiting classes, but this is definitely appearing to be a very solid group. Embiid is very inexperienced but appears to be very talented, and may be rated pretty highly when updated rankings come out. Combined with the freshmen from this year's group (only one of whom, Ben McLemore, appears likely to be ready to be a one-and-done), it looks like the future should continue to be bright in Lawrence.

At least in Allen Fieldhouse - I may be a curmudgeon, but I just hope that the all-black-uniform trend doesn't set foot there.

I don't follow BB nearly as much as FB. But Okla State just beat #6 North Carolina State....so I assume OSU is recruiting well. OSU has had a lot of injuries though and depth is an issue.

Wazzu may be outmatched, but after having another chance to see Ben McLemore in action, I am more convinced that he's got a very good shot at being a one-and-done player, which would open up PT for Greene and Selden.
