Tuesday Morning Dump

- Umm, sorry Coach Cal. I'm going to have to disagree with you here. Hopefully I'll be able to get to it in a post later today.

- Hey, while I'm here -- Eamonn Brennan, Kentucky Wildcats, Summer Buzz.

- And since everything is Kentucky today, read this from The Postgame on former Wildcat Richie Farmer.

- Ignacio Marquez of the Knoxville News put together a good read on Cuonzo Martin, who sounds like a coach that players are going to want to play for. More support for Cuonzo Martin from his current players.

- Mark Story of the Lexington Herald-Leader wrote a good column on John Pelphrey, who is headed back to Florida to rejoin Billy Donovan's staff after losing his job as the head coach from Arkansas this spring.

- The Philadelphia Inquirer published a very long profile of Philadelphia University coaching legend Herb McGee on Saturday. Its worth the read if you have 15 minutes to spare.

- Charges against Thomas Robinson have been dropped. They stemmed from this incident.

- You want to get caught up on some hoops for next season? How about Jeff Goodman's Big East recap and Brian Goodman's recap of the Big Ten. I wonder if those two are related?

- Bruce Pearl went on the radio with Clay Travis yesterday and had some interesting things to say. Speaking of Pearl, D-League?

- I thought this column from Mike DeCourcy on Andre Drummond was well done. Drummond is reportedly making a decision tomorrow, although nothing that's been written about him has been confirmed this summer. So we'll see.

- Other recruiting news: Javan Felix has committed to Texas, Torian Graham has decommitted from NC State.

- This seems to be a bit of an overstatement. Then again, who is the best Iowa State Cyclone of all-time?

- Jamie Dixon is cleaning up when it comes to recruiting big men. Malcolm Gilbert, Khem Birch, Dante Taylor. Jeff Goodman is enamored with the guy is may not have heard of yet -- Steven Adams.

- After being suspended last season, Moses Ayegba may miss next season after tearing the acl in his knee.

- Times have now been announced for the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

- Old, I know, but come on Gottlieb, this is a stretch.

- Interesting read from Adam Zagoria on a Harlem hooper looking for a second chance.

- This doesn't sound good.

Hoyas in China. This video made me laugh even though its pretty corny:
