Tracking the commits

There are more to be disclosed but here are the 'announced' commits to date from the class of 2013:

* Elliott Pitts (Arizona)

* Jabari Bird (California)

* John Fenton (Colgate)

* Dakarai Allen (San Diego State)

* Raymond Bowles (Pacific)

* TJ Wallace (Pacific)

* Mario Dunn (Montana)

* Darin Johnson (Washington)

* D'Erryl Williams (San Diego State)

* Markel Leonard (Cal Poly)

Remarkably, each choice so far actually looks like a good pairing, with no 'reaches' on either side of the equation. Maybe that will help in reducing the number of transfers which will eventually emanate from this group as roles and minutes on the court are worked out.

Still loves Steve Fisher's landing of Allen and Williams as guys with a greater focus on doing what it takes to win rather than amassing individual statistics.

Also, we wonder how much recruiting attention Raymond Bowles and T.J. Wallace are still receiving seeing that Pacific has no head coach for 2013-14. You can bet the calls and texts are still in-coming.

Plus,

* Marcus Lee just finished an official to Kentucky and will make his announcement today.

* Aaron Gordon ditto with a trip to Kansas.

* Noah Allen likewise sojourning to Washington State. The disrespectful treatment Harvard showed Allen is still grating.
