The interwebs, you know that series of tubes, are loaded today:

1insider at the BarkBoard SaveMart Center basketball message board is a supplier of information today -- GJ Vilarino is down to Fresno State and Illinois (an earlier Spokane Spokesman Review blog entry quoted Vilarino's father as saying his son had one more visit to take if need be and would probably decide in early August) plus former LMU frontcourter Kevin Young -- 10.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per game -- is attending a local community college before joining Steve Cleveland's squad.He's 6-foot-7 and quite the leaper.

Here's an article on Young's departure from Loyola Marymount. Here's a series of LMU basketball message board posts on Young's leaving.

The Saturday morning WAC offerings are slim

Credit to sindog for this catch, posted at the Barkboard's Save Mart Center MB: Oregon's Josh Crittle is transferring and Fresno State is one of many destinations he is considering. He's 6-foot-8, 250 and played high school ball in Chicago.

Here is an earlier story on Crittle.

Plus, Daniel Lyght offers some information on a player transferring from Loyola Marymount who seemingly would be a good fit for Fresno State.
