First round of cuts leaked to reporters

CSTV's David Scott is staying at or near the team hotel (the Marriott in Conshohocken, I understand), and has four of the players who made the first round of cuts down to 14.

Andy Katz is Andy Katz, and has the whole list.

I am at home in Philadelphia, and am not either of those two, so when the roster is officially announced I will let you know and write a story about it that will appear on Philly.com. I will wait until then, though, just to be safe.

Oh, and Scott notes that the players who make the 14-man roster will be at the Phillies game tonight, and "some representation of the squad" will throw out the first pitch . I think it's already sold out, or at least really close to it, but if you're going, that's cool.

Suffice to say that if (given the above reports), they'd kept Ahmad Nivins on the squad, he'd definitely be involved, as he was a pitcher in high school. But then again, perhaps that'll keep the fans from wanting this bunch to stick around the ballpark for the rest of the season.

I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.

In addition to the blog, I host and produce the Inquirer's College HoopsCast. It's a weekly podcast that features all the latest news and analysis from around local and national college basketball. Regular guests include Inquirer writers Mike Jensen, Joe Juliano and Mel Greenberg.

I also occasionally contribute to the Inquirer's women's basketball weblog, Women's Hoops Guru. If you've come here from there, this blog deals mostly with the men's side of things, though I do write about women's basketball and other sports when they fit in.

When not focusing on college hoops, I host and produce the Inquirer's PhilliesCast with Phillies beat writer Todd Zolecki, and can occasionally be found behind the camera shooting videos of the Eagles, other professional sports teams and the tiger cubs at the zoo.

One of the great things about City Series basketball, and college basketball as a whole, is its sense of community. So I want to hear from you. Post a comment or send me an email by clicking on my name above. But don't be profane, and don't post hate speech. I'm sure you'd like to take a shot at that commenter on the opposite side of a rivalry from you, or say something nasty about a team you don't like. But this blog isn't the place for it. Thanks.
