2:24 P.M. Minutes ago Ty Groce (MI) and his mother signed on to Northeastern.  Groce is a wing with good length.  He will be a glue-guy at the next level.  There are no glaring weaknesses in his game, but he is probably a tall SF.  Good athlete.

2:15 P.M. Braxton Key (TN) signed with Alabama.  He transferred to Oak Hill Academy for his senior year.  Formerly known as Braxton Blackwell, the powerful wing is great in the lane.  He is unselfish.  He can run the break, rebound, or score in traffic. 

Key reminds of Terrence Williams (Louisville 2005).  

Teammate Khadim Sy signed to Virginia Tech.

2:13 P.M. Central Elyjah Goss (IL) is signing in minutes.  The school confirms it is set up and ready to go in the Media Center in moments.  He actually sent the paperwork over an hour ago, but this is the ceremony for school, friends, and family.

2:06 P.M. Luke Vargo (OH) is signing to Air Force at this very minute.  Dublin Coffman is having a signing ceremony for Vargo, Seth Fuller (OH) and 8 athletes for other sports.  Big table in green.

"With much respect for Coach Rex Walters and the USF program, and with gratitude for their understanding, I am announcing a change.  I will be attending Weber State University to continue my education and basketball career.  This has been a difficult decision, but I have recently felt that this is the direction I need to take my future," tweeted Fuller.

10:32 A.M. Brandon Johnson (IL) has signed to Western Michigan per @Scottybscout.

Johnson is an explosive wing.  He is more of a power forward than shooting guard.  He can rebound or slash.  Johnson's outside shooting is not very threatening.  He will be one of the better athletes in the MAC.  

10:29 A.M. Josiah Talbert (KS) signed to Liberty. Josiah verbally committed in June.  He is a 6-foot-8 power forward.

10:02 A.M. Ole Miss announces the signing of combo guard Breein Tyree (NJ). #123 in Future150 Rankings. Reported by national analyst Brian Flinn

You can see signing photos of Cook, Tatum, and Lewis II at @CCPAthletics.  

9:43 A.M. Zeke Moore (MO) signed with SLU earlier this morning, according to his sister.

9:30 A.M. Central Zach Jarzombek (TX) signed to St. Mary's (CA) earlier this morning. He played AAU for HD Toros.

Zach is a lanky power forward.  He has impressive height and touch around the rim.  Like most athletes he will need to add muscle to his upper body.  Finishing in traffic can be tough for bigs advancing to college.

9:29 A.M. Central Willie Jackson (OH) signs to Missouri.

9:22 A.M. Central Charlie Moore (IL) announces he will sign tomorrow.  He is down to VCU, Memphis, and California.

9:12 A.M. Central COMMITMENT: Seventh Woods (SC) selects North Carolina over South Carolina.  Ouch.

8:26 A.M. Central Jordan Lyons (GA) signed to Furman.

8:20 A.M. Central Malik Johnson (VA) signed to Canisius almost 30 minutes ago.

8:19 A.M. Central Scott Spencer (VA) signed to Clemson almost 30 minutes ago.  

He also had offers from Murray State, Kansas State, East Carolina, Buffalo, and Western Kentucky.  He verbally committed in early August.

8:11 A.M. Central Frankie Hughes (OH) has signed to Louisville.  Reported by Jeff Borzello.

Hughes verbally committed very late.  His recruitment reminds of Terry Rozier, who blew up late and signed with Louisville.  Hughes was more of an after thought for Ville.  

It must be said signing with Louisville is a bit of a gamble as Head Coach Rick Pitino deals with fallout of the prostitution scandal.

8:07 A.M Central Michael Hurt (MN) is signing to Minnesota right now. Michael's younger brother Matthew Hurt will be a Top 50 guy in the Class of 2019.

Minnesota has appeared to turn the corner with this class. Specifically, Amir Coffey signing (later today) helps them climb the Big 10 ranks.

7:46 A.M. Central Carson Williams (KY) just signed to NKU as reported by Evan Daniels of Scout.com.

7:25 A.M Central Quentin Goodin (KY) will not sign until Saturday.

"I'm signing Saturday before the scrimmage against Louisville Eastern at TC!"

Goodin will sign to Xavier.

7:25 A.M. Central Austin Davis signs the paper.  Michigan has their first member of the Class of 2016.

7:22 A.M. Central  Jacob Cushing (IL) had his signing ceremony.  I have not confirmed the faxed N.L.I. yet though.  He intends to sign with Cal-Poly.  

Cushing is a 6-foot-7 shooting guard.  He has a beautiful left-handed stroke.  

Cushing is a decent athlete, but prefers to get his points coming off screens.  He can mix it up a little in the lane, but his college game will be running around screens and shooting.

He verbally committed August 8th.

He played AAU with Mercury Elite AAU. 

6:45 A.M. Central  Austin Davis (MI) is signing with Michigan in minutes.  At Onsted High School they are setting up in the gym.  

Yesterday Davis tweeted, "Excited to sign my NLI tomorrow! Can't wait to become part of the U of M family! Can't thank the community of Onsted enough. GO BLUE"

Davis is a center all day.  He has good hands and runs the floor hard.  For Big 10 level he is not a dynamic scorer.  In the Michigan system he will be asked to step out and shoot a little, which he can do.  His grunt work will get him on the court. Plus rebounder.

He originally verbally committed April 16th and played with Michigan Mustangs AAU (adidas).
