The New York Times (registration required) has a good article up about JamesOn Curry and his move to Oklahoma State. One nugget that I found amusing was that the two other schools that courted Curry after his arrest were Memphis and Cincinnati. Calipari and Huggins? Who would have guessed?

Josh Powell played a game in Raleigh the other night for his latest team, the WBA (who?) Southern Crescent Lightning. Powell seems more than a little defensive about his bad decision a year ago to turn pro. Instead of playing in some minor league for pocket change, he could be a rising senior at State…
