Nurideen Lindsey enjoyed his time at St. John’s for Midnight Madness but says he has a top four list of schools to choose from.

Brandon Bolden, a 6-foot-10, 205-pound big man from Sumter, S.C., verbally committed to Georgetown Friday night during Midnight Madness.
“Yes, I did,” he said by phone.
“They have a great staff. They’re real genunine and make you feel at home. I liked the atmosphere. The players just welcomed me and made me feel like you’re at home.”
Bolden is the No. 14 center and No. 81 prospect in the Class of 2012 according to Rivals.

“Some coaches will take jobs just to kind of get the golden parachute and finish it out,” Eustachy, the Southern Miss coach, said Wednesday at Conference USA media day in lower Manhattan.
“That’s not Tim Floyd. He would do it for free and he’ll do it harder than anybody. I know he’s going to have a huge impact on this league. Once you’re competitive you’re always competitive.”
