The Hlist always pulls the most entertaining bits… This sounds like serious control freak-ism. What, does Colorado not get what it means to follow sports?… And on the basketball end, does it say something about your program if you can’t get your own kid to commit?

Alright, on to the regular news…

Read this, rub your eyes, read again. It has to help Rutgers that Nate Smith’s big brother was a Scarlet Knight, right? (Home News Tribune)

Is South Florida making it a Big Four in Florida? (Connecticut Post)

Eh, Big Four, Top 25, it’s probably better for South Florida to fly under the radar for a bit. (Tampa Tribune)

Up in Syracuse, they’re thinking South Florida has a glow to sit in. And will for some time, because of that defensive line. (Syracuse Post-Standard)

Can this October be less Halloweenish for the Bulls? (Tampa Tribune)
