Hoops - News on Thursday?

Well, there were rumors first circulated by Justin Young at Rivals (that were posted on public boards) that some big news was coming Thursday. Now we know that recruit Lance Storrs will announce his college decision on Thursday between GT and Tenn......... and actually Rivals is now showing that he is committed to the Jackets............Thing is - nobody is aware that he has been officialy offered a free ride. It is well known that Storrs has the Jackets on the top of his list, but has been patiently waiting for that offer. Since the Jackets got a commit from Gani Lawal the priorities seemlingly shift to the Point Guard position, but Storrs plays the 2/3. What does it mean? Well, if Storrs now has an offer and announces for the Jackets, then it's safe to say there are some players leaving the squad prior to their eligibility running out. Coach Hewitt is still after another top notch PG and that seems to be either Mo Miller or Tyrel Reed. So who's leaving? Of course a recent AJC article hinted at this fact saying that Theodis Tarver wasn't the only scholarship player that was playing his last game. No need to speculate about transfers or anything like that - totally counterproductive at this point. Of course don't forget that there are a myriad of potential NBA prospects that could leave after next season as well, so stay tuned.............
