No one selected was under 6'0" (not surprising) and there were two guys 7' or taller, both on the 1st team.

I guess we will see how promising these guys are as their college careers unfold. I'm sure most of them will do very well while some of them might "pull a Diebler".

BTW - their "Player Of The Year" is 6'2" Brandon Jennings, a guard, from Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, VA.

Ya' know - you never saw the mouth of Wilson on "Tool Time".

I'll try and top that Georgia thing. Tomorrow night in the NCAA championship,
Sherron Collins from Kansas and Derrick Rose from Memphis both played in the mighty , mighty, Chicago public league.
