Bloomington, Ind. -- On the basketball court, Dominique Ferguson is a freak. At 6-9, he's long and rangy yet sinewy strong. He's as capable of floating home an outside jump shot as he is bulling through the lane for a two-hand jam.

All of that makes Ferguson, a Lawrence North senior-to-be, one of the mostly highly-sought players nationally in the 2010 class. He'll have his choice of schools to pick from after running down a list that makes up a who's who of college basketball over the weekend at the Adidas May Classic. He acknowledged admitted there could have been one or two he left out.

That has gotten him in trouble before. Recruiting services call him several times a week to ask for his favorites. He'll run down the list -- Arizona, Duke, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas and others -- and absent-mindedly forget a couple.

"Sometimes it's hard to remember them all," he said.

Not that it matters much. Since withdrawing his commitment to Kentucky when coach Billy Gillispie was fired, Ferguson has restarted his recruitment. He hopes to whittle his favorites by the end of the summer and possibly make a decision.

"I don't want to be like John Wall," Ferguson said of the top prospect in the 2009 class who still has has not decided on a school.
