Ferguson Yet To Sign
While rumors swirled of a winter commitment to Iowa State, Long Island native Eric Ferguson is still open on schools and has yet to sign a national letter of intent.
According to a source familiar with Ferguson's situation, Iowa State, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Providence and Rutgers are the schools keeping in touch with Ferguson this spring.

"He wants to wait till he gets his score, and I think everyone is waiting for him to get his score," the source said.
After attending Milford Academy last year, the 6-2 combo guard sat out this year in an effort to get his test score. The source said that Ferguson has a 2.695 GPA and only needs to get a 17 on the ACT or an 820 on the SAT.
"He was going to go to Iowa State as a partial qualifier in January, but if he had gone there as a partial, he would only have two and a half years of eligibility," the source pointed out. "So it wasn't in his best interests to do that."
A native of Hempstead, N.Y., Ferguson first attained notoriety playing for the Long Island Panthers a few years ago. He played with both the Panthers and the Jersey Shore Cyclones last year while attending Milford Academy.
While at Milford, Ferguson was able to improve his core grades, but he was unable to get his test score. There were rumblings in the fall that he would attend St. Thomas More in Montville, Conn., but that did not materialize.
Ferguson last sat for the ACT back on Apr. 6, and is awaiting the results of that exam.
We'll keep you posted on Ferguson's situation in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.
