Riley with two organizations?

A quick update that I just learned of.

Former Tide sharp-shooter Mykal Riley is listed on two NBA summer league rosters.

During the Orlando Pro Summer League to be held July 7-11, Riley will suit up for the former Seattle Supersonics, now the Oklahoma City [insert your own mascot here].

Later this month, Riley will apparently lace up for the Golden State Warriors, the same squad that drafted Richard Hendrix last month.

Good to see an assassin from three-point range getting some quality opportunities. Hopefully he’ll make a team.

Dowell Decommits

Reger Dowell, a four-star point guard from Duncanville (Texas) has decommitted from The University of Alabama, according to Dowell’s father.

Dowell is switching AAU teams this summer and wants to make sure he gives all interested schools a chance at his services.

“Overall this is such an important overall decision that we want to make sure that we give everyone a fair chance and give ourselves a fair chance to visit the schools and meet the coaches,” said Dowell’s father.

Dowell believes the same.

“I still really like Alabama a lot. The coaches are great and I had a great time on my visit there. This really isn’t about them but more about me and making sure that I didn’t rush into anything,” said Dowell. “I want to weigh my options and give other schools a chance to get involved. I’m looking for a school that needs a point guard to run their team.”

Dowell’s schools of interest are now Alabama, Arizona, Baylor, Marquette, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Texas and Texas A&M.

Tubbs to ETSU

Former Alabama basketball player Justin Tubbs is headed to East Tennessee State University.

I just learned this a few minutes ago while talking to Tubbs through Facebook.com. I’m sure a press release of some sort will be online later in the afternoon, just figured I’d go ahead and break the news here.

Tubbs will have to sit out the upcoming 2008-09 season since he’s transferring to another Division 1 school. He will, however, have two years of eligibility remaining after this year.

If you’re interested…

If you’re interested, here’s the link to the Golden State Warriors press conference where Anthony Randolph and Richard Hendrix were introduced.

Hendrix starts getting some questions thrown his way around the 7:15 mark. Warriors head coach Don Nelson says that Hendrix should get opportunities with his size.

Enjoy.
