iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 15, 2005 Here in New Jersey, basketball is big. We have the best high school team in the nation, along with a couple others that are nationally ranked. My high school has brought up superstars like Jay Williams of Duke/Chicago Bulls and currently 7'0 center UConn recruit Andrew (Lee) Bynum. He has not played yet this year due to an injury to his knee, but should be back next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
