Wednesday Morning Dump

- We'll start off our venture into Troy-less dumping this morning with one of my favorite columns of the off-season -- Andy Glockner's look at the unluckiest teams of last season. You should also give his column on Holy Cross a read.

- Loved this post from Andrew Murawa over at RTC. A college football dream team made up of college hoopers.

- Good read from Andy Katz here on Ed DeChellis was influenced to take the job at Navy by Skip Prosser.

- Didn't see this coming -- Bruce Pearl turned down a job in the D-League to work for a wholesale grocer.

- I understand how it benefits coaching staffs, but I couldn't disagree more with Jason King's column on banning twitter.

- Orlando Johnson got better during the off-season? He was already pretty damn good.

- Luke Winn tells us what the entire internet has already told us -- Andre Drummond will have a major impact at UConn. Only its Luke Winn, so he tells us better.

- There were a ton of commitments yesterday. It started with Dillon Graham, who committed to Florida. If the name sounds familiar, he's this kid

- The Oklahoma State got a commitment from NYC native Kamari Murphy

- After that, it was Obij Aget to New Mexico and Shawn Lester to Charlotte

- DeJuan Marrero then popped for DePaul

- And finally, Rohan Brown committed to La Salle and BYU landed commitments from Jackson Emery's little brother and Tyler Haws' little brother

- Justin Young gives his take on the news of Javaris Crittendon. Tough read.

- Tom Izzo is "so excited" for the season to start

- Scout ranks the 2012 recruiting classes. Tough to understand how Arizona is below Indiana at this point.

- Reggie Moore was not pleased with his performance last season. With Klay Thompson and DeAngelo Casto gone, we should be expecting a very good season out of Wazzu's junior point guard.

- If you missed it, there was a bit of a kerfluffle yesterday when news leaked out that Kentucky was pulling the credentials of the UK student newspaper for reporting. Here are both sides.

- A St. Louis power forward will play on New Zealand's national team

- Adam Zagoria takes a look at the curious case of Michael Chandler

- Not exactly hoops related, but Lost Letterman caught up with Alex Wolff, who penned the first takedown of The U.
