I only read the first part about UT, but it sounds pretty good. Pearl showed he can change his style. Now he has to show he can get players to consistently play to their potential when he has a lot of talent.

How would you rank UT's class with Selby? And since OSU fans are very excited about their duo, what do you think about their class and how it compares to UT's?

Have you heard anything new about Selby to add? Is it looking good?
I've mostly been chasing down coaching rumors. I haven't really talked recruiting with anyone.

UTEP was pretty set on Tim and BCG wasn't that fired up about going back. Houston refused to give Clyde assurances that they would upgrade their facilities, so those negotiations fell apart. He passed on them, not the other way around. He might have to take another year, but I wouldn't be shocked if DePaul made a run at him.

Is Depaul a good fit, as far as facilities and recruiting base? I thought Gillespie's connections were all in Texas.

If DePaul is really committed to building a new arena, yes. Clyde has good connections in that area from his time as an assistant at Illinois. He'll also have Tracy Webster, who is bigtime wired into the Chicago scene, as an assistant if he goes there.

12. Wouldnt that put the kiss of death on the NIT? Or would it make it that much more diluted?

NCAA is stretching, or a mess.

Thanks Hat, well done. Also, I think there is a plate of crow waiting on you in the recruiting forum. ;)

I'm against the expansion to 96 teams too, but I'm guessing that those games will make more money than the NIT. Is the expansion intended to finally do away with that tournament?

If they go forward with the plans I've heard about giving automatic bids to the regular season conference winners, I can't see why the NIT would continue to exist.

The more important question, will the CollegeInsider Tournament continue? The loss of this is stressing me out.
