Two of the top big men in the Class of 2012 cut their lists over the weekend.
Robert Upshaw, a 7-foot center from San Joaquin (Calif.) Memorial, trimmed his list to Arizona, Fresno State, Georgetown, Kansas State, Louisville, Maryland, Oklahoma State, UNLV and USC.
“This is the first step, and it’s been a very difficult step,” he told the Fresno Bee. “These nine have everything I’m looking for — academics, environment, all around the best for me.”
Upshaw also told the newspaper he could imagine himself playing for new Fresno State coach Rodney Terry, a former Texas assistant.
“I feel I could go in at Fresno State and be a key part of the program, to be the main guy,” Upshaw said.
Upshaw plays summer ball with Dream Vision, the same outfit that features Shabazz Muhammad, the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2012, who has reportedly cut his list to Arizona, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Memphis, UCLA and UNLV.
Meantime, Robert Carter, a 6-8 power forward from Snellville (Ga.) Shiloh, cut his list to Kentucky, Florida, Florida St, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Maryland and Rhode Island, according to Scout.com via NationofBlue.com.

Good stuff AZ.
I like that Robert eliminated Kansas.
KU is just not getting it done.
Strange – how no top recruits commits to Kansas.
No AAU coach is recommended them…for good reason.
I am sure Kansas will be cut from Shabazz’s list also.
UNLV is a throw-in.
