Yes, the Boost Mobile Elite 24 HS All-American Game would’ve been fresher if it didn’t rain and the classic went down outside in Rucker Park. More importantly, it would’ve been liver as Gauchos Gym unfortunately couldn’t accomodate all the family, fans, and friends that showed up to watch. For those who couldn’t get in, or perhaps didn’t make at all, peep the below highlights thanks to www.hoopsmixtape.com, particularly Doron Lamb (who I nicknamed “Smooth Criminal”) to Roscoe Smith (a.k.a. “Sco Da Show) at :55, and then Josh Selby (who EJ Da Mayor was calling “The Highlight”) catchin’ one on Kendall Marshall (who I blessed with “The Wonderful Wizard” although it didn’t stick) at 1:20! You won’t be dissappointed!

Check back with us for a more full post about the game from Jon Lopez real soon.

My man Mark Edwards from Atlanta, who managed Hot Sauce, Professor, and handled biz for the AND1 Tour for a good minute, hit me up about a kid he’s been working with named Ryan Harrow. The 5′11″ NC State commit got wiggles and then some, would be a good pick up for the upcoming Elite 24 on August 22nd at Rucker, don’t you think?
