While we all watch the coaching front – John Calipari to Kentucky? Mike Anderson to Georgia? – the players news continues to unfold. The latest is that Florida’s Nick Calathes will enter his name in the draft, but not hire an agent. This was the expected, and what Devan Downey will probably do, and perhaps [...]
During the offseason, we’ll have various updates on the comings and goings at other SEC basketball schools. We start today with Tennessee. The Volunteers need perimeter help, and they added junior-college point guard Melvin Goins on Sunday. According to the Knoxville News-Sentinel, Goins will compete for playing time with Bobby Maze, a junior-college transfer last [...]
I know there’s been a lot of speculation about South Carolina going after Seth Curry, who announced recently he would be transfering from Liberty after being named the Big South freshman of the year. Well, a longshot chance that would happen is apparently a no-shot. Curry is transfering to Duke, according to Tom Sorensen of [...]
Well, the SEC East is going to look a lot different next season. Potentially VERY different. As expected, Kentucky parted ways with Billy Gillispie, news that became official Friday. So the Wildcats joined Georgia and Alabama as SEC team looking for new men’s basketball coaches. It could soon be four programs making coaching changes. There [...]

So hey, [...]
Just got back from Darrin Horn’s season wrap-up. I’ll have a story in Thursday’s paper, but here are some quick snippets: – Horn has sat down with Devan Downey, but the coach doesn’t have a feeling on what his star point guard will do with his future. Horn said his emphasis would be on getting [...]
We may know by Wednesday who the newest SEC coach is. Multiple reports out of Alabama and Virginia on Tuesday night have Anthony Grant on the verge of being offered the Crimson Tide job. The Virginia Commonwealth coach was due to be on Alabama’s campus Wednesday for his second interview with the school, according to [...]
Ah, we all remember what we were doing this time last year- chasing down rumors, stalking Jeff Capel, and googling the name of the coach at Western Kentucky. Well they’re doing a lot of that at Georgia, Alabama, and possibly Kentucky right now. Luckily for those of us who went through this madness last year, [...]
Captain Munnerlyn was at Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday, wearing the evidence of his decision to go pro early: A black NFL combine shirt, with his name emblazoned on the back. The former Gamecock cornerback has mostly been out of town training for the NFL draft. But while he waits for South Carolina’s pro day next [...]
