Todd Jr. and Britt Brockman, chairman of the board of trustees, said on Tuesday.Brockman said he hopes the committee will provide a clear idea of how UK compares in athletics oversight among benchmark schools in the Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference.Baseball: Alex Meyer’s stock rising (Jason Churchill, ESPN – Insider only)Alex Meyer, RHP — KentuckyMeyer has hit triple digits as recently as a scrimmage this winter and possesses a power slider that invokes swings and misses at a high rate. Meyer, at 6-9 and 220 pounds, also creates sink on his fastball, and more maturity and toughness this season could do wonders for his draft stock, potentially thrusting the right-hander into the top 10 if things fall his way. He got his season off to a decent start Sunday, mowing down 13 over seven innings versus Miami (Ohio). Meyer will face top overall prospect Anthony Rendon and Rice early next month and will be challenged each week by most SEC opponents.Men’s basketball: Kentucky basketball, all-access, part one (Matt Jones, CBS Sports)Pro scouts watching practice is a constant at Kentucky. The majority of practices are watched by at least one pro scout and that  number increases the day before a game. Players are aware that it is not only a chance to warm up for their next college game, but also an unofficial audition for the next level. For many of these scouts, what they view in practice is equally, if not more, important to what they see in a game and thus focus is imperative not only for the team, but the individual players’ futures as well.Former Wildcats making headlinesRandall Cobb could rise up draft boards (Frank Tadych, NFL.com)(O)ne prospect who might have helped himself is Kentucky’s Randall Cobb, who ran faster than most expected with a 4.45-second 40-yard dash. An NFC scout described Cobb as “competitive and scrappy” and said he graded out as an “A-plus character guy.”Because of his size — 5-foot-10 1/4 and 191 pounds — Cobb projects as a slot receiver in the NFL. He also could make an impact in the return game and as a Wildcat QB.Derrick Locke a draft “riser” (Tony Pauline, SI.com)Derrick Locke/RB/Kentucky: Locke disappointed no one with his performance. He ran both two sub-4.4 40s, hitting 4.38 on some watches. He was also fast during the practice session and showed the ability to maintain his speed when asked to change direction or run through the cutback lanes. He’s being compared to Dexter McCluster in some circles.Thunder’s Nazr Mohammed familiar with trades, success (Berry Tramel, The Oklahoman)Six years ago Thursday, Gregg Popovich traded for a starting center, made him a backup and gave him 18 minutes a game the rest of the season.

Nazr Mohammed.Wall named Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month again (NBA.com)Wall led all Eastern Conference rookies in scoring (16.5 ppg) and assists (7.9 apg), and was fifth in rebounding (4.9 rpg).
