Jordan’s son’s sneakers

Y’all been following the most interesting sports business story going right now down here in the Sunshine State?

A couple summers back I tagged along for a couple days on a recruiting trip with Matheny down to the Peach Jam. One of the guys Matt was watching was Marcus. Davidson was on his list. Kid was good, and lefty. I thought of Chris Alpert, Ali Ton -- lefty points, Davidson hoops. Could work, I thought.

Or not. Yikes. Just a head-shaker of a situation over in Orlando.

Two reasons this would never have happened at Davidson: 1. Nike school. 2 (and much more important). Bob McKillop. Can you imagine? No. Just no.
