The long weekend is behind us and it is time to get back into hoops. Admittedly I was MIA towards the end of last week, I was in over my head getting everything straight with the Scion Dental Milwaukee Summer Pro-Am. Always comes down to the wire, and with a few unexpected turns we are now in the hands of the NCAA. As soon as the NCAA gives us their blessing, all info will be released.
So - on to hoops.... We will start with high school/recruit rankings as everyone is coming out with their updated rankings, ...
