The Pac-10 will be in need of some point guards

Wednesday was not a good day for point guards in the Pac-10.

It started with the injury to Abdul Gaddy, who tore his acl and will obviously be out for the season.

His counterpart at Washington State, sophomore Reggie Moore, was arrested for possession of marijuana and drug paraphenalia stemming from an incident on Dec. 12th. Both of the charges that Moore will face are misdemeanors, but both also have mandatory minimum sentences of one day in jail and $250-500 in fines.


"This is a team matter that we take very seriously," Bone said in a statement. "We initially learned about this incident Dec. 12, and at this time we have dealt with, and are still dealing with the issue. We will take further appropriate action if necessary."

Moore has averaged 7.7 ppg and 3.6 apg in the past nine games, but he sat out the first five games of the year with a wrist injury. Ken Bone texted ESPN writer Diamond Leung and told him that Moore would be eligible to play on Thursday against Oregon State.

The Cougars need him. They are coming off of an 0-2 trip to the LA schools, and the Beavers just swept the Arizona schools.


Down in Berkeley, the struggling Cal Bears have lost one of their best scorers in freshman Gary Franklin, who announced his intention to transfer. Franklin recently lost his starting job. While he's averaged 8.2 ppg this season, he's done it shooting an abysmal 29.7% from the floor while notching more turnovers than assists.


Interestingly enough, this is the eighth time in the past five basketball seasons that a player from Mater Dei high school in California has transferred. Taylor King went from Duke to Villanova to Concordia, Mike Gerrity went from Pepperdine to Charlotte to USC, the Wear twins left UNC for UCLA over the summer, and Kamyron Brown left Oregon to head to Nebraska.

Franklins transfer means that Mike Montgomery is now left with just eight scholarship players and a huge void in his back court.

No word on where Franklin is looking, but he considered Arizona State and Baylor and was also committed to USC at one point. He was also a part of George Dohrmann's "Play Their Hearts Out."
