- Lawrence North sophomore standout Dominique Ferguson is headed to play for Billy Gillespie at UK.
- Juco big man Josh Harrellson has chosen Kentucky over Saint Louis. The St. Louis-native had also considered IU among and a few others before narrowing it down to UK and SLU.
- Verdell Jones will announce his decision Monday. He doesn't appear to be headed to IU either. IU's initial interest in Jones did come prior to the signings of guards Devan Dumes and Nick Williams, however.
- Back in March I posted a link that former IU forward Xavier Keeling would be headed to Creighton. Contrary to some reports, Keeling never signed an LOI and he actually just signed with Detroit-Mercy, joining former IU assistant Ray McCallum. The 6-foot-6 forward is only the No. 176 ranked Juco player in the nation (Dumes is No. 29).
- Ben Hansborough, a Mississippi State transfer and brother of UNC's Tyler, will be transferring to Notre Dame. Tyshawn Taylor, a former Marquette signee, has signed with Kansas.
- I briefly caught up with Tobias Harris online. The sophomore from Dix Hills, N.Y. had high interest in IU, in part due to his relationships with Kelvin Sampson and McCallum. The 2010 recruit, ranked No. 39 in his class according to Scouts, Inc., told me that he has been following the situation at IU. He attened the Elite Camp here last year, and he said he "hopefully" will return to Bloomington for this year's camp. Harris, who has a large list of schools looking at him, said he will be working to improve his speed and defense this summer. He also said he plans on attending many college's Elite Camps and will play in "all the big tournaments" this summer, including one in Las Vegas.
