STILLWATER — In a gym at Duncanville High School Isaac Likekele had all but lost the recruiting momentum he gained over the weekend.
Likekele, then in the summer before his senior year of high school, fractured his ankle one day removed from holding his own against the state’s top recruits. Earlier that weekend, Likekele, who played for the Marcus Smart-sponsored YGC36, took on Basketball University and the 10th overall prospect in the 2018 class, Quentin Grimes.
The game against Grimes ended up proving a lot about Likekele. It showed his leadership, as Likekele wanted the challenge of guarding Grimes, who is now at Kansas.
