The 6-foot-9 Favors has eliminated Connecticut and now will decide among six schools, according to his high school coach. Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Memphis, Georgia, Florida State and N.C. State remain on Favors' list. Favors has taken official visits to Tech and Georgia, and has not scheduled any more.

Come to the Gophers Derrick!! It sounds crazy but Tubby Smith has something cooking here and you would be the star. Think about it or at least make a visit.

If Hewitt can get off to a good start at Tech this season it wouldn't shock me if this kid picks Tech for his One and Done season.

Kentucky hasn't been the number one program in the nation for quite some time now. Calipari will find a way to get this kid.

I like Smith being in the Big Ten. Please just beat that jackass coach in the state to your immediate right. Sad to say we don't have a great track record on that one.

The kid told me 5 years ago when he was in middle school that his dream was to play for Tech. After talking with him lately I only hope that he has changed his mind.
