Not a whole lot going on in the world of Big Ten recruiting so I just threw together a few stories that caught my attention:

• Watch what Kentucky guard Jodie Meeks does in the next two weeks. If he pulls out of the NBA draft, as I expect him to do, go ahead and put some money on Kentucky to win the national title in 2010.  But with or without him I believe that Kentucky’s 2010 recruiting class will go down as the nation’s best since the Fab Five signed up to play for Big Blue in 1991. The class currently includes no less than four 5 star players, including John Wall the nations consensus number one recruit. I hope all you other Kentucky haters enjoyed the last two seasons as much as I did, because the Wildcats stay in basketball purgatory was just cut short.
• Speaking of Kentucky, there was an interesting blog in the Indiana student paper comparing the hoopla surrounding what Calipari is doing at Kentucky to the fact that no one gives a shit out  the strides Indiana is making. Does this discrepancy really need to be explained? Are the Hoosier faithful so self-absorbed that they can’t understand why future a hall of fame coach signing with one of the most storied programs ever, and inking a potentially legendary recruiting class the year after a terrible season is bigger news than whether or not Indiana will win more than one Big Ten game in 2010? Does that really require explanation?
• This has nothing to do with recruiting but since there is very little interesting recruiting news out there, I’m trowing this in. There was an article in the Detroit Free Press this morning about how our glorious commissioner disagrees with the President when it comes to the BCS versus a playoff debate. No news there, but the annoying thing is the language he uses when attempting to defend the current system. He lays out no argument at all, he just merely assures us that the topic is too complex for the President, Congress, let alone any pea-brained fan that might be interested in dismantling the sham he calls a post-season. That being said, I am going to start using his stye of argument any time I get in trouble with the ladies.  I can see it now, 

Lady: “Who’s bra is this?”

Me: “I could explain it to you, but the story is so complex you couldn’t possibly understand it. Just put the thing back where you found it and let’s go to dinner.”

Lady: “Ok.”
