I'm not sure if you already know but could you ask Marvell Waithe what are his plans for next year? Has he gotten any offers across the border? If he has what schools made the offer. And if you could also ask him what he thinks of the CIS (Canadian Universities) compared to the NCAA. Thanks alot.

Ellington's 31 Points Too Much For World Team As USA Rolls To 109-91 Hoop Summit Victory
USA guard Wayne Ellington put on a show in the first half of Saturday's 2006 Nike Hoop Summit at the FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn., scoring 21 of his game high 31 points as the USA rolled to a 109-91 victory over the World Select Team. Elllington tiesd the USA record for most scored in a Hoop Summit, hitting 11-of-16 shots, including 5-of-6 3-pointers. Kevin Durant added 20 points and seven rebounds, Tywon Lawson recorded 17 points and six assists to lead the U.S. The World squad was paced by Tepic Milenko's 16 points, while 7-0 Senegal center Mouhamde Saer Sene added 15 points, six rebounds and a World Team record nine blocked shots. Come back later for the full story.

Any else news?

I was at the Hoop Summit all week and can pretty much answer any questions anybody has. The World Team had about 5 or 6 legit immediate prospects, as that is why they could not contend with the deep roster of the U.S. Honestly, Marvell looked to easily be the least skilled player in the entire game. If any body has any questions about the World Team or the game feel free to ask.
