Jamie Dixon hosted a huge prospect also. Beejay Anya appears to be a top priority for Pitt. He is a 6-9 forward out of DeMatha Catholic. He is a former teammate of current Pitt freshmen, James Robinson. Anya has DeJuan Blair written all over him, and would be a great fit for Pitt.

Nova playing only three games at Wells Fargo Center. Guess what? NCAA sub=regionals will be played there. Same deal they pulled in 2009 when NCAAs were last there. If you play fewer than four home games at a venue, you can get placed there in the tourney. (Of course, that's a big "if" for them this year, but it 's obviously what their sked-makers were thinking about).

Wow that is a really pedestrian looking list of BE POY candidates.

1. Otto Porter
2. Peyton Siva
3. Sean Kilpatrick
4. Jack Cooley
5. CJ Fair

Maybe I misunderstood and that is 5 for Thursday and the next five more likely candidates will be unveiled tomorrow? If that is the state of the talent this year, I think the BE is looking at a somewhat mediocre year, at least in terms of star power.

Otto Porter is a player, and if Siva plays like he did in the postseason UL will be very good.
Kilpatrick and Gody-2.0...meh.
As for CJ, if he pulls the same disappearing act ( btw- what was that all about?), that he did late last season then he won't sniff the BE-POY.
Don't know if he was injured or just tired, but his play became inconsistent and tailed off considerably.
Hope he's back to the old reliable CJ we all know and love!

As far as Notre Dame players, I think Jerian Grant has a better shot than Cooley to win BE POY. Jerian had a nice year last year, and I bet he takes a big step up this year.
