Been working on a mock draft for 2009 all morning. It’s pretty tough to do and should be up on the site later today.

- Iowa State transfer Wesley Johnson is headed to Syracuse. The long and athletic 6-foot-7 Texas native chose Syracuse shortly after his visit. ``I knew it was right,” he told FOXSports.com. “I like their offense and I’ve been watching them play for years.” Johnson, who averaged a dozen points per game this past season despite playing with a nagging foot injury, will sit out this season and be eligible in 2009-10. If Jonny Flynn and Paul Harris decide to stick around, the Orange could be Final Four contenders.

- Sad news coming out of Adelphi University, where recent transfer Menghe “Papi” a’Nyam collapsed and died last night during a pickup game. A’Nyam’s death comes a little more than a year after fellow Cameroon player and former New Hampton Prep standout Guy Alang-Ntang died while playing a pick-up game. New Hampton coach Pete Hutchens told me that a’Nyam was one of the best kids he’s ever encountered. ``He was a great person,” he said. “One of the most humble and appreciative kids I’ve met.”
