It’s about that time of year again when the nation’s top high school players, regardless of class, converge on the asphalt to play in the annual Elite 24 Game. In the past, it has served as a springboard for dozens of future NCAA and NBA stars to show out, old school style, on the outdoors [...]

In the next month, prized consensus Top 10 HS recruit Chris Walker at Florida was supposed to be making everyone’s Preseason All American lists and be in the running for SEC POY honors as we near the onset of the ’13-’14 NCAA season. But that isn’t the case, as the 6’9 and 230lb elite level [...]
