Good catch, 7587! Apparently minutes are at a premium in Spokane.

Apparently GU's Elias Harris let last night's NCAA deadline pass without declaring for the NBA, but I understand there's still chance he could declare before the NBA deadline, April 29.

Why are the two deadlines different? Here's a little of the explanation in context:http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/57740/mason-plumlee-going-to-take-his-time

Word on the street is UP’s one time first choice basketball recruit, Avery Johnson, will land at the other Holy Cross school, Holy Cross (yes, I know, it’s Jesuit) after transferring from USF.

Apparently two other USF transfers, Charles Standifer and Michael Williams are headed to Cal State Fullerton. And, as already reported, another one time UP recruiting effort, Garrett Jackson is heading to St. Mary’s.

Ramon Eaton and Hector Harold are leaving Pepperdine, but PU could be picking up UCLA transfer PF Brendan Lane. Another UCLA transfer, G D’End Parker will be heading to USF on a “hardship” and can play right away.

Oh, and upsailor’s man, Jordan Railey from Iowa State, is still undecided. (Pssst, hint -- he's not coming to UP, but he could end up in the Northwest).

I told U Dbl.Dipper, he was a natural for the Vikings.
