Fifteen NBA scouts are scheduled to attend Pittsburgh’s back-to-back home games in the N.I.T. preseason tip-off on Nov. 12 and 13.

Steven Adams is the only obvious NBA prospect on Pittsburgh’s roster.

The 7-foot Adams has been projected as a late lottery pick in the 2013 draft.

Once considered a top-10 player nationally, DeAndre Daniels averaged 3 points and 2.1 rebounds during a disappointing freshman season at UConn.

"I wasn't myself and I never played my game and just played like a robot half the time," Daniels says. "I didn't know when to shoot or how to shoot or when to pass or dribble or do any of that stuff. I played like a robot. I was just confused."

Daniels sometimes shot around in Gampel Pavilion after night games last season.

"It was never lack of work," Daniels said. "Just a lack of confidence."

Kevin Ollie intends to use the 6-foot-8 Daniels at power forward this season.

"When we secure the basketball, with DeAndre at the four, I don't think there are too many teams in America that can keep up with him," Ollie says.

West Virginia is restructuring Bob Huggins’ contract, which was agreed to in 2008.

Athletic Director Oliver Luck said the school is "looking at adding to both the length and the compensation."

Huggins’ current contract runs through the 2019 season and will pay him $2.3 million for the upcoming season.

"I want to do this as long as I'm excited about doing it, as long as I feel like I can bring the kind of passion to it that I've always brought," Huggins said. "When it comes to where I say, 'I just don't want to go in there and do this,' I need to quit."

Villanova receives a commitment from Josh Hart, a 6-foot-4 swingman from Sidwell Friends High School in Washington.

“What made Villanova stand out was what they were offering me off the court, as far as developing me into a man,” Hart said. “Coach [Jay] Wright is a sharp guy, and with the way they presented themselves and laid out their plan for me, I couldn’t say no.”

Hart garnered attention from Georgetown, Richmond, Rutgers and Penn State.

Xavier Rathan-Mayes will announce his college destination Saturday from his Toronto home.

Rathan-Mayes’ finalists are Illinois, Connecticut and Florida State.

Brandon Austin will visit Providence this weekend followed by a visit to Connecticut next weekend.

Austin, a 6-foot-6 forward, is also considering UCLA, Georgetown and Texas.

Rodney Bullock has verbally committed to Providence College.

The 6-foot-7 Bullock was also considering Old Dominion, VCU, Clemson and Xavier.

Austin Torres, a 6-foot-7 forward from Mishawaka, Ind., committed to Notre Dame.

Torres joins AAU teammate Demetrius Jackson in the Irish's 2013 recruiting class.

Torres committed to Central Michigan in late September.

Josh Heath has committed to the University of South Florida.

Heath chose the Bulls following an official visit over the weekend, which included a trip to South Florida’s football game against Florida State.

''In the back of my mind, I was probably always leaning toward USF,'' Heath said. ''But the visit really made it clear that's where I should be. Just hanging out with the players, hanging out with them on the campus, meeting administrators and going to the football game - it was just a great experience.''

Heath had about a dozen other scholarship offers, including Jacksonville, Lehigh, East Carolina and Princeton.
