Meanwhile, the Bleacher Report lists Jones as the top underdog for the Hawks heading into next season. "He may not put up solid starter numbers, but he could prove to be a very nice backup behind Horford, which is more than people may be expecting from a fourth-year player with eight career starts," the publication writes.

? Brett McMurphy has a solid piece on former USF football player Keeley Dorsey, who died suddenly on Jan. 17, 2007. He writes, "This fall was supposed to be Keeley Dorsey's senior year at the University of South Florida. His time to shine. As a freshman running back in 2006, Keeley immediately displayed his potential. On Sept. 2, 2006, against McNeese State on the second carry of his collegiate career, he showed his power and speed, racing for a 52-yard touchdown on the game's final play."

? Auman also keeps us up-to-date on what some former USF baseball players are doing in the minor leagues this season, including reliever Dan Otero. "He's mortal! After not giving up an earned run in his first 15 innings, Otero has had a (relatively) rough month, dropping to 0-3 with an ERA that's still just 1.63. The Defenders' closer has 14 saves, and he has 19 strikeouts against seven walks."
