Hey Josh, thanks for the update. Marvin can straight up ball! He and that other kid....Jaworski were great together!

Another update: Was told today that Marvin is also being recruited by Texas Tech.

Hey Parrott-What the hell is going on at WKU with their recruiting??------Heard that they are in the top 20 in USA!!!

[Parrott]

Coach Ken McDonald was a hell of a recruiter when he was an assistant at Texas. Helped the Longhorns land Kevin Durant and D.J. Augustin. He has tremendous ties all over the country having played at Providence and coached at Clemson, Georgia and Texas. It also helps that he can offer almost immediate playing time given that WKU has little depth right now and its top two players this season are seniors.

I've got some more basketball recruiting news. Might not get around to it until the weekend, though, because of football.

Thanks for the updates.

Is there any chance we can land a legit, if not at least decent, center?

St. Thomas Aquinas point guard Zaveral "Zay" Jackson has verbally committed to Murray State, according to a source close to him.

Tough loss. Probably a product of Murray's success and Billy Kennedy being in Hammond for seven years.

I pushed once for BK and we got Lee---I pushed twice for BK and we got Marlin-------Hope it is better this time around --but BK would have been GREAT at UL with his NO and State connections!!!

Jackson would have been a nice addition, but it's only a verbal commitment to Murray State. Hasn't signed anything yet. Recruits have changed their minds in the past. This coaching staff has enough connections to find another guard, and I'm confident that they will.

BK had no interest in our job this time around. Don't blame him. He's another 20 win season at Murray from a big payday. Our AD contacted him after Robert

We need a PG, a true playmaker to set up the talented players that will be coming to play ball here.
