The Recruit Scoop
First of all, I will say that these all-star games are rarely intense or a showing of complete basketball (ball-hogging, no defense, etc.) but its interesting nonetheless. I wonder if any of our staff will attend.
It's pretty cool that
Niang and Okoro will get to play on the same team. the game is May 5, so it won't be more than a month or so after that they should both be in Ames.
I know we're not actively recruiting Seldon, but I bolded/ included him since we're all so familiar with him.
