But you're kidding yourself if you think he could stay after the Pitt incident.

Jarvis hadn't exactly been doing well in his last couple years too. We need a high profile coach plain and simple.

Just 3 teams left undefeated in their conferences... Gonzaga, Memphis, and Oklahoma... obviously the first two aren't that interesting.. but Oklahoma stillbeing perfect so far is really incredible. Seems people are still sleeping on them despite this (self included)... not sure what else they need to do to provetheir worth - i personally really like their makeup as a team, but i guess a lack of recent tourney performances makes everyone sort of wait and see with them.
3 tough games left on their regular season slate however - next they play @ Texas, followed by home against Kansas... then they still have to travel to Mizzouas well.
The kansas game should prove very interesting...

Bulls in final four for top forward Vinson
Terrell Vinson, a national top 100 recruit from Baltimore who is ranked as the No. 2 unsigned small forward in the country, has USF among the four schools he's considering, his high school coach said Wednesday.
Vinson, a 6-foot-7, 210-pound forward rated as the nation's No. 81 overall prospect by Rivals.com, is still considering Massachusetts, Maryland, Cincinnati and USF, according to Mark Karcher, his coach at St. Frances Academy in Maryland.
Vinson signed with Loyola Marymount during the early signing period, but was granted a release after the head coach there resigned. Karcher said he took official visits to Villanova and Georgetown before signing with LMU, but is not considering those schools now.
Karcher said Vinson is a versatile player who played power forward at another Baltimore school, Montrose Christian, before coming to St. Frances, where he's played both shooting guard and small forward. Scout.com has him ranked as the nation's No. 2 unsigned power forward, but Karcher said Vinson intends to play small forward on the college level. Karcher said Vinson is comfortable shooting the 3-pointer, the mid-range jumper and can hold his own around the basket.
Vinson is unlikely to make any visits until St. Frances' season has ended, with a conference championship game Sunday and the Baltimore Catholic League playoffs next week. Check back for updates with Vinson and other Bulls basketball recruits ...

Interesting that he's looking at us. Especially when we are pretty much running out of scholarships and looking just to take a PG. Mick Cronin comes fromthe Rick Pitino school of pulling scholarships out of your #%@ though so I really can't be too concerned.

Bledsoe expecting important visitor
Jerry Meyer
Rivals.com Basketball Recruiting Analyst
Talk about it in Basketball Recruiting Board
Four-star point guard Eric Bledsoe is having a strong run through the Alabama playoffs. Numerous teams have checked in on him lately, and one of the premier programs will be at his region finals game on Friday.
Bledsoe is a coveted point guard.
Bledsoe, a 6-foot, 160-pound point guard from Birmingham (Ala.) Parker High School, is seeing his college options increase with every game during his senior year. Four schools have recently offered him after seeing him play, and one of his favorite schools is now recruiting him.
"Duke is supposed to watch my game tomorrow," Bledsoe told Rivals.com. "I've been liking Duke for a long time. I never thought they would call. I've talked to Coach James and Coach K, and they are saying I need to come visit."
Bledsoe fully understands that at this point he is a back up to John Wall as far as Duke and Memphis are concerned, but he does have offers from Cincinnati, Florida, Kentucky, Ole Miss, South Florida and Tennessee.
Recently Cincinnati, Florida, Kentucky, Oregon and Tennessee have watched Bledsoe play while he has averaged 20 points, seven assists and five rebounds during his team's playoff run.
With more schools getting in on his recruitment, Bledsoe considers himself wide open and in no hurry to make a decision. And although uncertainty about his academics led to a late start in his recruitment, Bledsoe is confident he will qualify.
After the season Bledsoe has all five of his official visits at his disposal.
With his stock on the rise, Bledsoe is presently the No. 12 ranked point guard and No. 67 ranked prospect in the Rivals150.
Dre if y'all punanis steal this _ from us.Promise John Wall the world damn it.

Joseph Gets More Exposure; Takes Visits Premium Story
Cory Joseph
By Evan Daniels
Recruiting Analyst
Posted Feb 20, 2009
A few years ago Canadian Devoe Joseph was a heavy topic of conversation among college coaches, now it's his brother, Cory, that is getting the attention.
Since making the move from Canada to Henderson (Nev.) Findlay Prep, Cory Joseph has become a big topic of conversation among college coaches from coast tocoast.
Having played his previous high school seasons in Canada, Joseph says he wasn't getting exposure during his high school season. Keep in mind, he made hismark on the summer circuit with Grassroots Canada, and now is backing up his play on one of the nation's top teams.
"It's been a huge difference," Joseph said. "Since being down here we've had a lot of games on Wazoo Sports and we've had a lot ofnationwide games. A lot more people have gotten to see our games and more coaches have come to see us play. In Canada there's not a lot of exposure."
Joseph, a four-star prospect, is getting college attention because he's equipped with a good-looking shot from long range, has the quickness to break downdefenders and can create for teammates.
And the attention for Joseph is mounting as Louisville, Minnesota, Memphis, Georgetown, Connecticut, Florida, Virginia Tech, Villanova, Kansas,Virginia, Arkansas, Texas A&M, Texas, UNLV, Marquette, Iowa State and California are all involved in his recruitment.
"It's going great," he said of his recruitment. "Since I came [to Findlay] I've started to blow up a lot more. It's been a lot moreexposure. It's going to be great. I'm just trying to start looking at schools and hopefully I'll take a few more visits."
Joseph took recent trips to Louisville, Minnesota and Ohio State. He stopped by Louisville prior to participating in an event in Kentucky, while he went to OSUwhen they played against Minnesota.
"Louisville has great facilities and we got to watch them practice," Joseph said. "Coach Rick Pitino is a great coach and coach Richard [Pitino]is a great guy. They are just great coaches."
"I went to the Ohio State versus Minnesota game, so I got to watch my brother play. After the game I checked out the locker room and went around the gymand saw their facilities and weight room and had a brief talk with them. It was nice."
Having his brother at Minnesota has to give them a slight advantage, but Joseph was quick to point out that he'll be making the best decision for him.
"I like all the schools," he said. "I'm just looking for the school that fits me best. It's not just because my brother is there I wantto go there. That's an upside for them, but I'm looking at all the schools because whichever school fits me best is the one I should go to."
Joseph certainly doesn't have a shortage of options, but that doesn't mean he's in a rush to come up with a decision. He's hoping to take a fewmore visits, before he considers making a commitment.
"I haven't thought about it that much, but I'm starting to think about it more and more as the season has progressed," Joseph said. "Ihave to go on some unofficials, take the SATs and hopefully go on some officials and then figure it out."

I wouldn't be surprised to see Joseph have Texas in at least his top 2...playing with Avery Bradley and now Tristan Thompson has to help a little bit...
I'd really like to see Turgeon make a push for him though...I'd like for Turgeon to spread out the recruiting a bit. He's been recruiting the hellout of the east coast, time to spread it around.
And allen, the Rivals article I read about Jeremy Adams said that Georgetown was really trying to get him to come take a visit. Have you read anything abouthim on the Georgetown boards? I really wanna find out more about him, but nobody seems to know much...

Vitamin Water is producing a new television ad featuring Christian Laettner and Rick Pitino which is likely to run throughout the NCAA Tournament. According to the source, the advertisement was shot yesterday in Louisville and will show Laettner following Pitino around his house making "the shot" over and over to torment him.
