Rivera rants: recruiting, yada, yada, yada
 I have a secret. It’s not one I’m particularly proud of or was ready to divulge anytime soon, but after reading the news over the past few weeks and then events of Tuesday, it kind of just put me over the edge.

The Future for Chris McAlister
 By Ryan Lavigne
PGU Daily News
A great career in Baltimore ended quietly back in February. There was no fanfare, no press conference, nothing. It was a release that pales in comparison to the release of Terrell Owens, which ESPN turned into a 24 hour reality program.

Budinger tumbles to second round, will use it as motivation. Steve Rivera
 One by one they came and went. And Chase Budinger’s name was not called.
Some dude from the Congo went before Budinger. Some guy from Florida State. Heck, Arizona State’s Jeff Pendergraph went before Budinger.
Not since Hassan Adams slipped to No. 54 has something been this anti-climatic for a ...

 Arizona power forward Jordan Hill was taken as the eighth pick in the NBA draft on Thursday night by the New York Knicks.
