Writing about the top Freshman of the 2009 college basketball season this early in the season might be exercise in futility, but that doesn’t stop some people from talking about it, even basketball recruiting sites.
This time of year is so fantastic, we’ve got pro football, pro basketball, college basketball and college football all converging at the same time. And lest we forget, there’s even hockey. It’s a magical time of year in a sports fan’s calendar, all right. You just can’t beat it. During the long summer months of trying to survive the boring day to day repetitive grind of baseball and NASCAR, keeping up with basketball recruiting is about the only way to survive. It’s hard to pay attention, and even though during the fall and winter I listed non stop to sports radio, during the summer I forget that it’s even on the dial. I’m glad I am not in that business, I’d flounder during those times of the year. I couldn’t even fake interest from about June until September…even preseason pro football interests me more than postseason baseball and NASCAR isn’t even a sport to me. I know there are tons of NASCAR fans, but it just isn’t even remotely interesting to me. That’s why I follow AAU basketball, it gives me something to do.
