With all the cabinet hearings, tweets, press butt-whoopings, etc., I haven't heard one word about the topic that interests me most since he won- who Trump will nominate to the USSC. Has anyone heard?

I heard Cruz isn't interested, which wouldn't surprise me in the least.
I've been reading that Pryor is most likely:

Supreme Court Update: Trump Has Started Interviewing SCOTUS Candidates
By DAVID LAT
Jan 15, 2017 at 9:27 AM
On Saturday afternoon, here in cold and snowy New York, President-elect Donald Trump interviewed Judge William Pryor of the Eleventh Circuit for the open seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. The opportunity to meet with PEOTUS to talk about SCOTUS must have lifted Judge Pryor’s spirits, in the wake of the loss of his beloved Crimson Tide in Monday’s football championship.
The news of a Trump/Pryor meeting, while notable, is not surprising. At last week’s press conference, Trump said that SCOTUS meetings are underway and we should expect a nominee within two weeks of inauguration day. And Judge Pryor, beloved by conservatives, sits at the top of the Trump SCOTUS list.
Could Trump pick someone not on the list? There was one promising possibility:
After his [post-election] talk with Trump, Texas senator Ted Cruz and his chief of staff, David Polyansky, then sat down with Trump’s chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, who sounded him out about his interest in filling the Supreme Court vacancy created by the late Antonin Scalia. Cruz — widely considered one of the best Supreme Court litigators of his generation — swatted down the idea, according to four people to whom he has relayed the conversation.

I think I'm going to have to get used to a President who does what he says he will do.

Judge Napolitano meet with Trump yesterday and was asked for his opinion odd those on a short list, which I believe is from the list he already released. Said Trump will announce no later than next week.

Neil Gorsuch would be an interesting choice.

Gorsuch is supposed to be a supporter of states rights and for limiting executive initiatives. He has also been a rule of law jurist who believes in legal precedents. Which likens him more to Roberts than Scalia.
I'd like to see it resolved, but so far it seems with the 4 x 4 impasse, nothing
is going to get poked through soon.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

Abbey. Only my opinion here but, knowing, and seeing how Trump has been handling things. I wouldn't put it past him to make Chuck Shummer, and the Dems in the Senate look really stupid.....by putting the Nominee Obama picked, before the election.
If they SHOOT him down because TRUMP picked him. HOW DUMB DO THEY LOOK THEN?
They wanna play childish games with politics? Give 'em some of their own medicine.
Merrick is his name:
WASHINGTON — President Obama on Wednesday nominated Merrick B. Garland to be the nation’s 113th Supreme Court justice, choosing a centrist appellate judge who could reshape the court for a generation and become the face of a bitter election-year confirmation struggle.
In selecting Judge Garland, 63, a well-known figure in Washington legal circles who has drawn praise from members of both parties, Mr. Obama dared Republican senators to ignore public pressure and make good on their promise to block consideration of any nominee until after the next president is chosen.
