The loss of Eli Carter, Jerome Seagears, and Shane Rector left new Rutgers coach Eddie Jordan in a bind. His backcourt had been severely depleted, and it was unclear how the Scarlet Knights would compete without any depth. Jordan recently spoke with Jerry Carino of NJHoopsHaven.com and provided an update on how he plans to use Myles Mack and D'Von Campbell, the two remaining guards on the roster.

With rare exceptions (usually involving teams that play Hawaii), FBS teams play a dozen regular-season games, plus any conference championships or bowl appearances. How long can that last? ESPN.com Big Ten blogger Adam Rittenberg says he can see the day coming when 13 games are the norm:

Intrigue growing for Barton

Maryland's pursuit of Antonio Barton could be paying off. The Memphis transfer visited College Park over the weekend, and called the experience "tremendous".

That doesn't mean he has committed to the Terrapins, but it's certainly a good sign for the program. Don Markus of the Baltimore Sun expects Barton to make a decision "very soon" -- potentially another good sign for Maryland. Mark Turgeon's squad could certainly use an established backcourt weapon with NCAA Tournament experience to step in right away and provide some leadership at the moment. That would help ease incoming freshman Roddy Peters into the college game while also allowing Seth Allen to slide over and play more shooting guard.

Abell's versatility a boost to XU

Before Jim Les was fired, Remy Abell was set to become a member of the Bradley basketball team. However, he ultimately reopened his recruitment and quickly chose Indiana, but after two seasons where Abell showcased his defensive skill-set and potential as a consistent perimeter option, Abell decided to transfer and will spend his final two seasons of eligibility at Xavier. As Scout's Rick Broering confirms, Abell will not take the floor until the 2014-15 season, so we wonder how Abell will impact the squad at that time.

IU the fav for Pinson?

Late last month, Theo Pinson confirmed to Jeff Borzello of CBSSports.com that he wanted to cut his college list by the end of the next month. Coveted for the match-up problems he causes on the court, and also for the combination of offensive skill and athleticism, Pinson was being courted by a bevy of high-major schools, but it was recently confirmed by ESPN's Dave Telep that Pinson will make his college choice next week. Of the five finalists for Pinson -- North Carolina, Duke, Indiana, Georgetown, and Louisville -- it appears to us that one is standing out most for the 6-foot-6 wing.

C.J. Wilcox suffered a stress fracture in his foot the majority of last season, and while coach Lorenzo Romar recently confirmed the wing -- who returned for his final season of eligibility -- wasn't completely healed, he confirmed that Wilcox was close to 100 percent. However, Wilcox recently had to undergo surgery to stabilize a portion of his foot and relieve pressure; while Percy Allen of the Seattle Times reports Wilcox will be ready for the season opener, we have to wonder how the Huskies will compete should the wing not heal in time, or potentially suffer a setback.

Ever since Tyrone Swoopes' dazzling performance in the Texas Longhorns' spring game, which launched him above Connor Brewer and Jalen Overstreet to third-string on the depth chart, starstruck Texas fans have been eager to see what the freshman can do when the action really counts. They'd like to see him pass Case McCoy, too, and be the top backup behind David Ash. Is that best for the program, though? For that matter, is it best for Swoopes?

Sooners out of race for four-star DB?

Four-star safety prospect John Bonney (Houston, Texas/Lamar) let spring go by without making a visit to the Oklahoma Sooners. Does that mean the Sooners are lagging behind in the race for his services?

“That’s not true,” Bonney tells Bob Przybylo of SoonersNation on ESPN.com. “Coach [Tim] Kish visited a couple of weeks ago and said he would be coming back before spring is over. I’ve actually been to OU more than any other campus, including all the ones in Texas.”

Przybylo says the competition for Bonney's services is still a crowded field:

Bob Przybylo
Bonney's busy itinerary
"Bonney was able to make a few trips this spring, attending spring games at Texas, Baylor and LSU. A busy track schedule kept him from making more visits but that will change this summer. Ohio State and Stanford both visited Bonney earlier this week, and he said those are the two out-of-state schools he would most like to see before making a decision. He said Northwestern is in the mix for a visit, too."
