Tony Jones has tweeted that another underclassmen -- Quincy Bair -- has cast his lot with Stew Morrill and USU. Here is what Jones wrote about Bair the other day:

Strengths: Hops, hops and more hops. Bair can rise with the best of him and is explosive going to the basket. He's capable of taking his man off the dribble with either hand and finishing above the rim. His upside is considerable. He's a very good mid-range shooter, a long armed defender and great in transition. He's capable of highlight reel plays and drew ooohs and ahhhs from the crowd on a number of occasions. He's someone who can score in a number of ways. He's a good rebounder on both sides of the ball. His quick hands and anticipation generated a number of turnovers. He's another guy who needs national competition because there are few athletes in this state comperable to him. He can hit the occasional three-pointer, but isn't consistent in that regard. His first step is quick and explosive. He projects as a perfect small forward at the college level. He's 6-4 at this point, but says that he could grow to 6-6 by the time he's ready for school. According to Rodney Davis, Marcel's father, the two are best friends, along with Loveridge.

From Marek Warszawski's Fresno Bee column -- PTW will title this Reason #34705 for why we need a sports apocalypse:

*Takeru Kobayashi might not renew his annual grudge match with Joey Chestnut at today's hot dog-eating contest on Coney Island because of a contract dispute.
