Will assistant coach Chris Caputo be a Terp by next week?
The news on this is starting to heat up. Mason assistant coach Chris Caputo has in fact interviewed with Gary Williams to fill the vacant assistant coach spot at Maryland. Jeff Baker from the Baltimore Sun:"Among those who have interviewed is George Mason assistant coach Chris Caputo. He was an assistant during the Patriots' Final Four season of 2006, among other years. Interesting that all the starters on that team were from Maryland."It appears a decision won't be made over the long weekend but you would have to expect it will come soon with summer just around the corner. &nb...
Past Postings on Anthony Gatlin
For some background on Cornell's Anthony Gatlin, a transfer from Centenary College, check out the time line of news article excerpts that we previously posted from Gatlin's time at Pearland High School (Texas) and Centenary. We also posted an article from the Journal of Pearland which was published back in March. When Gatlin was signed by Centenary before the 2007-2008 season, former Centenary head coach Rob Flaska commented, “Anthony has unlimited potential and will end up being an all-conference performer at Centenary. He is long, athletic, and has the ability to score inside or out, even to the three-point line. He is also a 4.0 student." Gatlin maintains two years of eligibility and will commence play for Cornell during the 2010-2011...

News and Notes: Friday Edition
Below some news and notes for Friday...Hmmm, Charlie Zegers of MSG "profiles" Jeff Foote in connection with Foote's workout with the Knicks. The profile is as follows (try to contain your laughter): "Jeff Foote (Center, Cornell)-Fans of March Madness may remember Foote as one of the key players from Cornell’s impressive run in this year’s NCAA Tournament. Foote is a legit seven-footer with a nice outside shot, but most scouts think he lacks the athleticism to be a part of Mike D’Antoni’s fast-paced offense. Think of him as a (very) poor man’s Troy Murphy." We note for the record that Foote never attempted a three-point shot in his entire college career.In roster report news, Dartmouth announced a 7-player incoming recruiting class, bring...

Larranaga might not be able to hold on to top assistant Chris Caputo for long
This becomes a reality to any mid-major program that succeeds. What I am talking about is holding on to good young coaching talent. Jim Larranaga's assistant and recruiting genius Chris Caputo has been talked about as one of the hardest working coaches in college basketball by myself and others. Take a look at this article the Washington Post had back in July 2008 about Caputo's 16 hour days on the recruiting trails over the summer.Gary Williams of Maryland has taken notice and has recently brought Caputo in for an interview to join his staff.
