12:36 PM ET 05.23 | Former Penn State quarterback Steven Bench has found his new home, and will transfer to USF. Bench left Penn State in the spring after losing out to JUCO transfer Tyler Ferguson for the starting job, and the Georgia native chose USF over Mississippi State and NC State. He should be able to play right away for the Bulls, who were in desperate need for a quarterback. "I want to get my face in the playbook and get ready to go," Bench said. "Coach [Willie] Taggart is a real confident guy. He will play anybody anywhere anytime."

07:14 AM ET 05.23 | Is timing everything? University of Oregon president Michael Gottfredson received a notice of allegations in the Ducks' ongoing NCAA investigation of its football recruiting practices on Dec. 5, 2012. The document was released [Wednesday] by the university in response to a public records request made by The Register-Guard. A letter from the NCAA to Gottfredson detailing the administrative process of the investigation is followed by seven specific allegations of wrong-doing by the Ducks under former head coach Chip Kelly. All seven closely resemble -- almost to the word -- allegations listed in Oregon's failed attempt at a summary disposition resolution as submitted to the NCAA in October of last year.

07:13 AM ET 05.23 | The teenage all-star team that is Kentucky's freshman class had other plans, something Wildcats hoops fans will no doubt appreciate. [You] might have learned none of these young men will play for America this summer in the FIBA U19 World Championships. According to UK coach John Calipari, that is not by his design. "Most of it is, they didn't want to play. I'm not forcing kids to do anything," Calipari told Sporting News. "I think the reason they all turned it down is, they want to get started." Kentucky's rich haul of 2013 recruits will bring guards Andrew and Aaron Harrison to Lexington, along with forward James Young, power forward Julius Randle and center Dakari Johnson. All were eligible for the U19 squad.

07:13 AM ET 05.23 | Eddie Vanderdoes may have been at the top of the list, but he was only part of it. [Adding] elite defensive linemen to the 2014 recruiting class was at the top of the Irish coaches' to-do list. "If Vanderdoes doesn't end up coming," said 247Sports national recruiting writer Steve Wiltfong, "then it becomes a little more urgent." ... [Standout D-linemen] helped transform the Irish into a national championship contender again. A step backward in that department would distance the Irish from the template with which the top-shelf SEC schools, in particular, build success. In that light, here are the names worth remembering: Khairi Clark, Josh Frazier and Andrew Williams. Those are the three players, Wiltfong said, that Notre Dame appears to be zeroing in on.
