Note to my Blair guys heading out to play in the July AAU period. DEFEND your position, TALK & TOUCH, SPRINT don’t trot, cut with PACE, SHARE the ball, make the EASY PLAY, HELP your teammates shine. The best coaches will notice and that is who you want to play for anyway.
Good luck to Blair ‘27 @peti_rosta as he plays his first game for the Hungarian Junior National Team today at the U18 EuroCup. Peti will likely be a high major recruit at 6-10 with a high level skill set. youtube.com/watch?v=vQ0SbE…

Syracuse has offered freshman forward Ian Archbold and 6-11 big man Toussaint Malukila, @247Sports is told.
‘28 Ian Archbold is one of the country’s top prospects in his class. Coming back from a minor injury, Archbold’s potential is through the roof. @ilymp_ian @CoachMantegna @CoachDeJesus33 @NewHeightsNYC
