Krysten is a former DII basketball player but sometimes tells top recruits she played at UConn to see the look on their face. She's also completed a marathon on every continent (yes, even Antarctica).

TORRANCE, Calif - The No. 2 player in 2017 isn't in any rush to decide on a school. Right now he's just enjoying the last bit of his high school career playing in the Ball is Life All-American game this Saturday. Mohamed Bamba still has a top four list of Michigan, Duke, Kentucky and Texas.

There have been some movements around the teams since Rivals.com last spoke to Bamba at the McDonald's All-American game in March. Marques Bolden has decided to stay at Duke and Jarrett Allen hired an agent for the NBA Draft. None of this new information seems to be influencing Bamba one way or another.

“I don’t really get caught up in who’s coming back and who’s leaving," Bamba said. "I really feel like if I’m one of those guys who can adapt to other people’s game and play with them. Having those guys come back another year would only help, it would make the team better.”

When asked about a decision date Bamba still didn't give a timeframe but he did say his decision will be made way before the NBA Draft. He's not trying to set a record and decide well into the summer.
