Monday Night Links

Ekpe Udoh is no longer a Wolverine. Opportunity knocks for Zach Gibson.
Tony Freeman is no longer a Hawkeye. Opportunity knocks for Todd Lickliter’s son?
Armon Bassett, Jamarcus Ellis, DeAndre Thomas, and Eli Holman are no longer Hoosiers. Opportunity knocks for five brand new guys.
The Big Ten didn’t have a great recruiting year:
In the 2008 recruiting sweepstakes, the Big Ten (nine) ranked behind the SEC (20), Pac-10 (16), ACC (15) and Big East (14) in number of top-100 commitments.
Possible reasons: snow, academics, a bunch of new coaches. At least two of the nine top-100 guys are Spartans.
A Comcast-Big Ten Network deal appears to be drawing close. According to the linked article, an announcement will come in either (1) 2-3 weeks or (2) August. Both time periods are prior to the beginning of football season, so I suppose there’s no reason to get too specific.
One More Link: Delvon Roe is ahead of schedule on his knee rehab and should be ready to start working out next month, according to a WILX interview with Tom Izzo. Izzo plans to bring him along slowly.
