DAYTON ? Aaron Pogue's next stop will be at Vincennes (Ind.) University. Maybe.


Dunbar High School's senior leader has opted for the junior college basketball route. However, an agreement has been made with Vincennes that he can back out and instead enroll with a Division I program, should he land an offer by the start of the 2007-08 school year.

That possibility evolved when Pogue recently scored high enough on the ACT college entrance exam to qualify for a D-I scholarship.
"There's a whole lot of people that doubted me, who didn't think I'd make the score," Pogue said on Monday. "It's my choice. I could have picked a D-I, but there's no point in picking a weak D-I college."
Should Pogue stay for one season, he'd have three seasons of eligibility remaining (or two and two). According to Wolverines coach Pete Pullen, USC, West Virginia, Pittsburgh and even two-time defending national
champion Florida are interested.

As they sat in the out-of-gas Pontiac Grand Am ? waiting for the one's stepdad to return from Kroger with some fuel ? the pair shared idle talk about people in the neighborhood, about going home to eat later on and especially about their basketball.
Dorian Hoover and Aaron Pogue are two of the city's most prominent big men, and they'd just spent the early part of that evening on May 9 battling against each other in the weekly open gym at Sinclair Community College.
