Sifting through summer camp gossip
July 10, 2006
There were almost as many rumors bouncing around the Nike All-American Camp and Reebok ABCD Camp last week as there were basketballs. Coaches love their game, almost as much as they love to gossip.
These were my favorites of the whispers that passed through the stands as the two camps transpired.
In order:
3. Eric Gordon would be vacating his commitment to Illinois. Basis in fact: 4. Indiana has worked as hard as possible to change Gordon's mind. A 6-3 guard who will be an instant scoring star in college, he chose the Illini while still a junior at North Central High in Indianapolis.
The rumor was that Gordon wanted to see Illinois start landing some big-time players for him to run with, or he'd pull out. That sounds a little like wishful thinking on the part of Illini rivals. But we've seen enough "de-commitments" recently -- including Jerryd Bayless from Arizona, Michael Beasley from Charlotte, Alex Legion from Michigan -- that programs with such commitments in place know they must be guarded.
