  He visited UK and OSU, I'm almost positive about that.

  It's very weird, for some reason I can't find his recruiting info, and I have a couple pay accounts lol

  I think Florida and Boston College (when Skinner was still around) were into Oriahki, or he them. That's according to his scout page. (Not always overly reliable.)

  I could see Orhiaki going to Iowa State..they've been Transfer U lately, and they are losing Royce White. Seems like a good replacement if Alex is cool with, you know, playing in Ames.

  I have to lol at this...

  Schools of Interest:

  School	Interest Level	Offer?	Visit Date	Signed LOI?
  Connecticut	Verbal	Yes	None
  Boston College	No Interest	No	None
  Florida	No Interest	No	None
  Ohio State	No Interest	No	None

  How can a school be "of interest" if the kid had NO interest in them...lol

  I think often times, they don't update those. Often, a player will cut down to a final 3 or 5, and then make a pick. After a guy is committed, those don't get updated.

  I was about to ask you for a link about White leaving but first I wanted to double check that I heard correctly that he was a RS-Sophomore(which he was), and he is indeed leaving Iowa State for the draft.

I would have thought there might be a national coaching search when Calhoun stepped down, since his right-hand man, George Blaney, was the same age as Bob Hope.
  
  At one time, I remember people saying that Thad Matta could be a possible flight risk in Columbus if the job in Storrs opened (I would highly argue against this now, however, as Thad has rebuilt an elite program now), and that Sean Miller might be a hot candidate.

  I have heard it on a few telecasts and some tweets. He went to school there and is now coaching there and they want a program to take over whenever that time is. Sound like they are big on bringing back the NBA guys to campus during the summer for workouts.
