Houston Texans Impact pick: Brandon Brooks (third) -- Brooks is an absolute mauler with impressive strength and surprising mobility for his size. He needs to become a consistent worker and keep his considerable weight in check, but assuming he stays in shape, Brooks can win the job at left guard and offer an immediate upgrade there. Indianapolis Colts Intriguing pick: LaVon Brazill (sixth) -- Brazill flew under the radar in 2011, but he has good suddenness and quickness, has the body control to make tough catches, is willing to work the middle and is also a special teams contributor. He'll also benefit from getting in on the ground floor with Luck. Colts GM Ryan Grigson did a great job bringing in pass-catchers who can work with and grow alongside Luck from Day 1. Ball security could be an issue for Brazill, but if he cleans that up, he should be a solid value pick.

Interviews on Tuesday with three coaches who are still in the NCAA tournament or have direct ties to such teams said the coaching grapevine is in virtual agreement in the following thoughts on VCU's Shaka Smart and Ohio's John Groce: Both are expected to stay at their schools if they don't find jobs they want at higher-profile basketball schools than Nebraska.

One of many gems in Zac Jackson's column on Charlie Coles, who was referring to Jon Harris trying to get in position to rebound. It's a great column but what really demonstrates the value of Coles in the MAC and college basketball is that even though Miami as a sports franchise may not be revered, damn near everybody in the conference loves and respects this man. And I'm pretty sure they'd pay good money to listen to him talk about basketball at great lengths. I certainly do hope he has much left "in the tank."

Look, the MAC is a fine conference and it is hard enough to win these games on merit. It's impossible to do so when the field is tilted so heavily in the direction of the old-line MAC teams against the newcomer. I don't care if it's the Big East or Conference USA, the time to get out of this hick conference is now.
