why do you think they created ESPNU?

Like everything else with ESPN, I assume to force-feed viewers NCAA Women’s basketball no one cares about.

But actually, the way high school sports have evolved on ESPN,

When your corporate goal or business plan is to sell as much gatorade and subways as you can, you have to get the 12-18 year old to watch. Therefore, more and more high school sports.

As a shot-blocker, Noel is second-to-none. Based on viewing numerous highlight reels online, he seems to be a poor man’s Anthony Davis.

So he's second to Anthony Davis, then...

I watched a couple of his games. He was better offensively than I was expecting, but will definitely be a huge defensive presence from the get-go.

Seriously man what’s with using the Rivals rankings from last summer? He’s not the class of 2013, he’s class of 2012. He switched months ago.

This.

I was the first guy to really bring it back a few years ago in the McDonald’s AA game. Tiquan, you’re late to the party too.

One man asked me if I wanted to take his wife home with me

Sounds like a risky investment by this guy. I mean, you have to wait at least 19 years before it pays off.

College recruitment truly brings out the best in everybody; that Times article is despicable.

But actually, the way high school sports have evolved on ESPN, I’d say there’s a 75 percent chance there’s video of this.

You think there is a video of some guy jokingly offering his wife to this kid?
