Recruiting Buzz

Derrick Favors is ranked as the No. 1 high school basketball recruit in the nation by Scout.com, the leader in the high school recruiting internet information industry. However, he’s yet to agree verbally or otherwise to any college. Apparently, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution via Truth and Rumors at Sports Illustrated.com, Favors no longer favors Connecticut. He’s crossed it off his list. He’s now considering Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Memphis, Georgia, Florida State and N.C. State.

In other news, Indiana, which has been getting some press lately for Coach Tom Crean’s insistence that the University be given some slack with regard to NCAA violation penalties, has landed a center who should be an anchor for the team in the next few seasons. Apparently Bawa Muniru, a 6-11, 255-pound senior in high school has agreed verbally to attend the University of Indiana. He’s considered a top prospect among some established recruiting websites. Clearly this kid will take up a lot of room in the paint. Keep a look out for him.
