Grass Roots Canada coach Ro Russell needs to let folks know what our neighbors up north are feeding their kids. Last season, it was current UConn freshman Denham Brown who was breaking scoring records, including a 111 point game in his senior season.
Coach Gary Waters has another prep senior on his campus again this weekend as the Knights look to fill the remaining two roster slots available for this class. According to Tom Lucci of the Newark Star-Ledger, Oak Hill Academey's big forward Byron Jones is visiting the Big East school's campus.
