Updated College Projections

by Alex Schwartz

Back in late August and early September, I projected where 36 talented class of 2009 ballers would commit to for college ball. Of those three dozen, 13 of them have picked a school, and for seven of them (Tamir Jackson to Rice, Avery Bradley to Texas, Brandon Triche to Syracuse, Tyler Honeycutt to UCLA, Paris Bennett to George Mason, Abdul Gaddy to Arizona, and Rodney Williams to Minnesota) I guessed correctly. The six that I was incorrect on were Clarence Trent, Terrell Vinson, Kevin Parrom (committed to the school I had listed as second in line, Xavier), Aaric Murray, Stephan Van Treese, and Rashanti Harris. With a month having gone by and with me having the opportunity to read up more on some situations and do some thinking, I've decided to re-do my college projections. I'll be adding new players this time. Of the old players that will be listed again, for some I may have the same school as the destination, while for others I may not. Have a look:
