08:34 AM ET 05.17 | For Devonta Pollard, the clock is ticking. He's the lone top-25 recruit in the Class of '12 who has not picked his college destination. Pollard, a 6-7 forward from DeKalb, Miss., is believed to be down to Texas and Alabama but hasn't ruled out Mississippi State, Missouri or Georgetown. Pollard, the No. 22-overall player according to Rivals.com, is lean but athletic. He is at his best in the open court. He shows a near unstoppable pull-up jumper and is an adept shot blocker because of his quick leaping ability. He must improve his technique as a jumpshooter and get stronger. Other uncommitted players in Rivals' top 100: No. 58 Christopher Obekpa ... No. 63 Anthony January ... No. 67 Torian Graham ... No. 72 Savon Goodman and No. 82 Montrezl Harrell.

Go to Moo St.All in favor...........................Nay, keep Rick, good for the rest of us.

He pretty much dropped MSU when Stansbury got fired. I'd like to see him at MSU, but I think he is headed to Bama or LSU. Texas may need to throw in a bag of chips with the hot dogs and cokes :)

Yes. Why would that sound strange to you? Anthony Grant is an up and coming coach and players like him.

If only [insert the name of your school here] were allowed to have a roster of scholarship players such that [said school] could corner all of the best players in the land.
