Column: College basketball recruiting has become one big spectacle

Related Topics: College basketball

I had a tough decision choosing between four prestigious universities as an 18-year-old high school senior.

I remember sitting at the dinner table with my mother, father and brother, going over the pros and cons of each school. It was overwhelming, to say the least.

Just three years removed from my decision, I remember the process like it was yesterday, but I did not have hundreds of thousands of people awaiting my decision, watching my every move like a hawk.

The spectacle of college basketball recruiting has been blown completely out of proportion. April Fools’ Day was an excellent example of why.
