Hope this hasn't been posted yet.
Cory Davis of West Salem, Oregon has committed to the Cats I see. According to Northwest Hoops, http://www.northwesthoops.com/oregon_2006.htm, he is the number one point guard in Oregon.

Anyone have any word on Mike Taylor from Washington.

Has Durham become a better recruiter, or did his recruiting strategy change? Maybe it is his assistants that are making the difference but it seems to me that he is doing a better job the last few years.

The Biggest advantage Durham has now over the recent past is that he has more scholarships to work with. We have a full 13 schollies filled plus a free 14th player; Casey Durham (although Durham might not think it is so free). When Ollie left a few years ago a lot of people were worried that we were losing our main recruiting guru. Ollie has a unique reputation for identifying under recruited talent and bring them on to campus. Beye, Jefferson and Pratt were prime examples these players that very few if any D-1 programs were looking at. When Ollie left, Carson took over as recruiting coordinator and then we hired Johnny Brown. Carson has stepped up to the plate and surprised everyone with how quickly he was able to excel as the recruiting coordinator. So give some credit to Scott. Johnny brown has also brought a new dynamic to our recruiting that has really paid big dividends. Durham gets much of the credit (or blame) for our recruiting but the assistant coaches are the guys on the front line, so they also deserve a good pat on the back also.

Johnny Brown has my vote for the next head coach at MSU. When will Durham leave?

I think that Mick Durham has quite a few good years left here. He's not leaving anytime soon.

Durham will be here as long as he wants.

IMO, IF Durham doesn't get things done with this team, this year, some questions should be raised (not calling for his head, before I get flamed, just questions). I don't see this happening though, as this team should be something really special...
