Sooners snare Willie Warren

# Top 100 guard Willie Warren of Fort Worth-North Crowley, Tex., rated No. 12 in Class 2008, has chosen Oklahoma over Cincinnati, UConn and Kansas.

Van Coleman:
Thoughts on Warren's commitment: "This is huge for Oklahoma. They just picked up a JUCO forward in Kyle Cannon on Thursday, and now this gives them a guy they can rely on for production and play either guard spot on both ends of the floor. Willie Warren is one of the impact scorers in the 2008 class and can get in a zone. He'll need to work on limiting the volume of shots he takes, but once he does he'll be a draft pick and really open things up for the Sooners with chances at Big 12 runs."

Longhorns capture J'Covan Brown

# Top 100 guard J'Covan Brown of Port Arthur-Memorial, Tex., rated No. 48 in Class 2008, pledged to Texas over Cincinnati, Baylor and Oklahoma State, among many others.

Van Coleman:
Thoughts on Brown's commitment: This is a big commitment for Texas, their first for the class and also coming from an in-state player ranked in our Top 50. It's a little strange that he committed and did not sign, but I can see his possible reasoning of wanting to see who he's going to have coming in with him. They are still waiting on Tyreke Evans, the nation's top available player who visited the Longhorns earlier this month and is an expected spring signee."

Singleton picks FSU over Kentucky

# Top 100 forward Chris Singleton of Dunwoody, Ga., ranked No. 28 overall in Class 2008, has signed with Florida State over Kentucky, among many others.

Van Coleman:
Thoughts on Singleton's commitment: "A huge commitment for Florida State. This gives them a next-level player who has the potential to be a future lottery pick. That might sound like a stretch since we only have him at No. 28, but this is a player in the development stages with a big upside. Singleton's spring-to-summer maturation was amazing. He went from a power inside player to a guy who could step out to 17 feet to shoot it or take it off the dribble. He's not 6-foot-6 doing this. He's 6-foot 8, 225 pounds doing this. He's got the potential to be a force in college."
