Luis Colon is expected to announce his choice today (tomorrow is the last day of the signing period). Pitt is definitely out of the mix at this point.
According to his AAU team’s Web site, Luis Colon, the 6-foot-10 forward from Miami Krop High, has added an offer. The nearby Miami Hurricanes have jumped in late. Colon, who visited Manhattan over the weekend, is choosing between Duquesne, Massachusetts, K-State and Miami.
Part of what is really driving his decision is early playing time. In that respect, it is not a surprise that Pitt wouldn’t make the cut. I doubt Coach Dixon was willing to make him any promises or assurances at this point. Colon appears to be a good player, but he is not that good a player right now.
Additional, note from the story that is just amusing. K-State has its first player arrest under the Bob Huggins regime.
Senior point guard Mario Taybron was arrested Saturday by Riley County Police at 11:54 p.m. on a municipal warrant for a failure to comply.
He was released on a $179 bond. No other details were available.
Not sure if it’s fair to count Taybron, since whatever he did happened before Huggins. But what the hell.
