Tuesday Morning Dump

- Eamonn Brennan provides an excellent-read on why we shouldn't sling the hate at Josh Selby just yet

- Jason King provides insight on the good and the bad coaching hires from the early off-season

- Matt Norlander rambles on about the significance of Barnes decision to stay in school not enter the draft. Along with Jared Sullinger and Perry Jones, Barnes is helping to rejuvenate the college game. Luke Winnm chimes in on Barnes' return to Tobacco Road (w/ graphs of course). Jeff Goodman is not surprised at all that Barnes decided to return. In case you weren't aware, Barnes decision to return further weakens an already weak draft class. Eamonn Brennan notes that Barnes decision to return is good news for college hoops' relationship to the NBA. Dana O'Neil wonders if Barnes' return will spark something special in Chapel Hill. Some believe Barnes will be able to leave a legacy in place after just two season at Chapel Hill

- An interesting-read from the New York Times on the recruiting issues caused by social networking

- Washington State superstar Klay Thompson has announced that he will enter the NBA draft but won't hire an agent. With a relaxed early entry deadline, the decision for Thompson would not have been as difficult. Will anybody be able to replace the productivity that Thompson provided?

- No team in the entire country (well except maybe Centenary) is going to have the type of roster turnover that Boston College will go through this summer

- Suspended Penn State freshman Taran Buie has been granted his release and will transfer out of Happy Valley. Its a shame things didn't work out for Buie at Penn State. Not only is he the younger half-brother of Talor Battle, who graduates this spring, but he is quite a talented point guard as well, who was chased by the likes of Maryland and Georgia Tech coming out of high school. Who better to replace Battle than his talented kin?

- It's been a long time since we've heard from Tony Woods. But apparently now the ex-Demon Deacon is rethinking his decision to go to Louisville

- With the departure of UConn assistant Andre LaFleur, there may be some concern that coach Jim Calhoun might be closing in on retirement

- Butler assistant coach Micah Shrewsberry has been hired by Purdue coach Matt Painter to serve as an assistant

- As of right now, Rick Pitino's son will not be lined-up as the "coach in waiting" at Louisville

- It is hard to argue that ten years ago a high-profile coach would want the coaching gig at Kansas State. But nowadays, the hoops job is attractive at K-State

- The Kansas City Star mentioned that when his NBA career ends soon, Pacers guard T.J. Ford might end up being an assistant for Frank Haith at Missouri

- Josh Harrellson has an interesting theory about the NCAA's decision on Enes Kanter

- Bracketology? Already? I thought Joe Lunardi hibernated from April til January

- KenPom just got a whole lot better

- Arizona is still waiting to receive a LOI from 5-star recruit Angelo Chol. Apparently Chol's father forgot to sign it before he left to return to Africa

- Rutgers-bound shooting guard Mike Taylor is likely to attend Prep School before joining the Scarlet Knights program

- Marquette has a pretty lengthy recruit/transfer wishlist

- Rush the Court provides an excellent recap of the Jordan Brand Classic

- A warp-up of Oregon's 2010-2011 CBI championship-winning season

- I hope to God I never have to attend a wedding in which this happens

- Sweet Jesus, Josh Harrellson has his own signature line of jorts

- Rejoice! Jimmer Fredette has joined twitter (I guess social networking got a free pass on the school's honor code)

Bobby Knight has some choice words for Jon Calipari and Kentucky and apparently, a lot of people aren't happy at all
