08:24 AM ET 05.23 | This is a final four season, of sorts, for former Virginia Tech signee Montrezl Harrell. [Harrell] has a leader in the fight to land his services, and that leader is Louisville. The four-star prospect's father told Mike Hughes of InsideTheVille.com Friday night that Rick Pitino and company are Harrell's front-runner, and that his son will visit U of L before any other school. The Hargrave Military Academy star is also considering Kentucky, NC State, Florida and Alabama. I suppose this clears up any debate over whether or not there is mutual interest between the parties. The scholarship issue, however, remains a mystery.

08:24 AM ET 05.23 | Christian LeMay's younger brother has set a date for his college decision. Uriah LeMay, a 4-star wide receiver from Matthews, N.C., will announce on June 1. Due to the family connection, UGA is considered one of the schools to beat for LeMay, who has been poker-faced about his leaders and the recruiting process. On Tuesday, his father sent out this text message to the media: Uriah LeMay has been nominated to 4 All American games thus far as he approaches his senior season. He has over 30 D1 offers and is now at a point where he is ready to announce his college school of choice. This announcement will take place at Champion Christian Center on June 1st @ 6pm.

08:22 AM ET 05.23 | Curtis Luper is looking forward to the holiday weekend, but not because he'll have some time off. [Luper] politely declined to say how many football recruits will be at Auburn's Big Cat Weekend this weekend, but a good guess would be around 30. "It's pretty exclusive," Luper says. The Auburn assistant coach can't reveal his list of invitees, but probably wouldn't anyway because other schools might try to swoop in. Auburn wouldn't want that because these Memorial Day Big Cat recruiting events have been effective. The 2009 and 2010 Big Cats ultimately produced 25 signees. Last year's event produced a dozen more. Auburn is hoping Big Cat IV will be effective, too.

08:19 AM ET 05.23 | The Big East has expansion fever, too. [Conference] athletic directors and coaches made it clear at Tuesday's league meetings in Florida that they want to continue with an all-school Big East tournament going forward. Now let me make this clear: These guys are insane. Seriously, what's the point? Who needs an 18-team league tournament? Answer: Nobody. But that's exactly what we'll get when Houston, Memphis, SMU, Temple and UCF come aboard. ... Yes, the Big East tournament could theoretically have the same amount of rounds as the main bracket of the NCAA tournament. Yippie! It'll be an event worth ignoring for two days. The motivation behind the suggested move boils down to everybody feeling like they need to be included.

08:18 AM ET 05.23 | To what extent will the departure of running back Chris Polk, who ran for nearly 1,500 yards in 2011, affect Washington quarterback Keith Price? There are some well-documented questions about the offense that could force Price to have to carry a heavier load this season. ... [Given] the uncertainty of the OL and some growing needed among the skill guys, it would probably be unrealistic to expect Price to better last year's numbers. The year when that might happen is 2013, when just about everyone off the offense could be back (the only seniors on what would be the likely offensive starting lineup right now are receiver James Johnson and center Drew Schaefer).
