Friday Morning Dump

- Jon Shurna will consider his collegiate career at Northwestern a failure if the Wildcats don't make the NCAA tournament. The sharpshooter has just one season left to break the curse.

- Gary Parrish provides another epic story from the recruiting trails, this one featuring World Wide Wes. The move Wes pulls at the end is hilarious.

- Shawn Kemp Jr., one of Shawn Kemp's many offspring, has decided to attend Washington ( Baby ReignMan? The Sprinkler? ReignMan 2.0? Come on people, we need a good one)

- According to Jeff "Two Scoops" Goodman, the 2012 Maui Invitational field will consist of UNC, Texas, Butler, Marquette, Illinois, USC, Mississippi State and Chaminade (Chaminade? How on Earth did they get an invite...)

- Despite being nowhere near anything with the word "East" in it (Other than East Plano), TCU's basketball program is starting to reap the benefits of being a member of the Big East

- NBA experts at ESPN.com answer some solid questions regarding guys who were in college not too long ago

- Really enjoyed this coming home piece on Ed Cooley. I would absolutely play for that guy.

- Santa Clara has extended the contract of basketball coach Kerry Keating through the 2014-15 season

- In his first season as head coach of the Murray State Racers, Steve Prohm will take his team north of the border

- Marquette's Darius Johnson-Odom (D.J.O for short) is ready to get back to the gym and grind it out

- The George Mason Patriots are getting in on the "plank'n" fad (I'd like to see a bit more creativity though)

Maryland's Pe'Shon Howard went through-your-legs at the Berry Farms League in Washington, D.C.
