First, the article mentions plans for renovating Pauley. Based on comments from Dan Guerrero, we are a LONG way away from getting started. First we have to figure out what renovations are possible, then decide which ones we want. Then we have to raise the money - well, actually, first we have to hire a fundraiser. Then we can start the work.

Speaking of fundraising, Guerrero mentions that selling naming rights to the facility is an option to raise cash. Now, if this topic is being broached at this early stage, then you have to figure it's a virtual certainty that it's going to happen (why else bring it up?). The article says the school wants to keep "Pauley Pavillion" and "Wooden Court" in the title, but no company is going to shell out millions of dollars to be part of a name that isn't used - unless attorneys for the city of Anaheim draw up the contract :). So it is quite possible that within a few years, the building will no longer be referred to as Pauley Pavillion on a regular basis. I hope I'm jumping the gun here, but we all know cash rules.

The article also mentions some recruiting news: center Spencer Hawes cancelled his official visit last weekend due to a sprained ankle, and he rescheduled for September. Chase Budinger, a highly touted small forward prospect, is slated for a June visit.

There also is discussion of the schedule, with the only new news being that Temple is a possible opponent in the second round of the preseason NIT. The game would be November 17, and I assume it will be at Pauley.

Finally, the article mentions that the off-season weight-training is going well, with Jordan Farmar and Josh Shipp singled out as examples of players putting on weight.
