Bright Future for Culver. A-J Media’s Carlos Silva, Jr. writes about the bright future of Jarrett Culver:
Culver had the most notable night, scoring a season-high 26 points and grabbing 12 rebounds to net his inaugural double-double in a Red Raider uniform. The freshman from Coronado provided the energy and pushed fellow freshman Zhaire Smith who ended his night with 12 points and five rebounds.

What the Giants Think of Webb. Via the NYPost, how the NY Giants will draft will depend on how the team feels about Davis Webb:
“Good question,’’ Shurmur said. “It’s interesting. He and Eli are in the building every day. I got to hold back from talking ball with them. I see them in the lunch room after they’ve had their workouts. That’s a little uncomfortable for me, because they’re so eager to get going.
“I like what I’ve seen in Davis Webb. I went back and watched his tape again for college just to get reacquainted with him. I like what I saw on tape when he played. I had a chance to watch his practice tape, which has been terrific. We just don’t have a large sample size of Davis Webb playing NFL football. But I’m excited what he brings to the table.’’
