    “I’ve committed to Georgetown,” he told SNY.tv Wednesday. “I loved the campus and the area of D.C. it’s in. The coaching staff did a great job recruiting me and I could really see myself playing there and having a great career.”

We expect great things out of Reg. He’s been a true Playa for his entire life and like most other decisions he’s made, this is a great one.

    What’s up, everybody?

    I recently came back from my first visit at Miami and I want to say that it was a great visit. I really liked it.

    EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – After a move across the Hudson River, a brand new arena,  a complete overhaul of the team’s color scheme and an offseason spending spree, the Brooklyn Nets are finally one week away from training camp and arguably the most important season in franchise history.

    The man who spent hundreds of millions of owner Mikhail Prokhorov‘s dollars this past summer, General Manager Billy King, addressed the media at the PNY Center on Tuesday morning and among all the topics covered, his feelings on his new team are quite clear.

    The 6-foot-4 1/2, 190-pound Jordan took an official to St. John’s this past weekend and trips to UCLA this coming weekend.

    “It went good,” Jamie Ross, head coach at Philly Vaux Roberts High School, told SNY.tv Tuesday. “He liked the campus. He liked the coaching staff. He got a chance to see the guys and work out a little bit. He overall liked it.”
