  • The recruitment of Mount Vernon (N.Y.) point guard Jabarie Hinds continues to be fluid.

    After initially trimming his list to Oklahoma State, West Virginia and UNLV, Oklahoma State is now out of the picture and Hinds will take an official to UConn.

    Although a specific date has not been set, Hinds, the No. 23 point guard in the Class of 2011, decided to visit UConn after a successful home visit Saturday.

    “They said they want me there now,” he said by text. “They like my style of play. They really think I can come in and help the team.”

    The latest black eye for Tennessee came Friday when men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl acknowledged publicly that he gave misleading and incorrect information to the NCAA about possible violations during a 17-month investigation of his program.
