One of the High School coaches I called during recruiting was named Lance McAlister...the same name of the Cincinnati area sports talk host that tuned me in to this game. He was really surprised when I told him. I always wondered if they recycled names from actual participants. Since no one else has mentioned it, I suppose this may have been more of a coincidence than anything else.

WiS was founded in Cincinnati, where the original Admin was from.  That's almost certainly intentional.

There is a Raymond Felton playing for Sam Houston St. in Knight. I guess when your NBA career is in the toilet they let you go back to school for a second go around. He still can't shoot.

In the current Knight recruiting class is Hall of Fame outfielder Ricky Henderson. Apparently he's a pretty good point guard too.

This recruit is named Sean Livingston. He's from Peoria, IL.  Though not to be confused with current NBA player, Shaun Livingston, who is also from Peoria, IL.

Haha this is one of the craziest concidences I've ever seen.  Sean is tired of the comparisons to Shaun.

Political fans will like this one. Former US Senator (R-NC) Jesse Helms is the leading scorer for Pace. Never remembered Jesse having that much speed.

Just signed John Lester.  Although he's an ineligible who I'm assuming will go Juco, but if he reports I'm hoping he can "pitch" some shutouts with his high def and shot blocking potential.
