USA Basketball U19 Team

[Bob Green]

Rasheed Sulaimon is at the USA U19 tryouts along with recruiting targets Justise Winslow and Jahlil Okafor. Team selections will be announced later today so good luck to Sulaimon.

Zagsblog has a nice read on Winslow and the potential package deal of him, point guard Tyus Jones and center Okafor all attending the same college (Duke is currently considered the leader for Jones and Okafor):

Kids talk about package deals all the time, but they rarely happen. However, if these three players all pick Duke, 2014 will be an epic class. Arizona seems to be the leader for Winslow, but Winslow pretty much denies anyone is the leader in the linked article.

The team will be cut again to go from 16 to 12.

Thanks, Bob. Hopefully, Rasheed is working hard on recruiting Okafor and Winslow, too.

USA 82, Serbia 68 in the U19 World Championship Game! I watched the 4th Quarter on ESPN3 and observed pressure defense and nifty passing making the difference for the United States.
