Every year I attend the Bass Pro tournament and post a synopsis here afterward. Seen a plethora of future college AAs and NBA stars, the most impressive for me being John Wall. This year, I was sidelined by Covid and missed, though fortunately not severely sick having been shot and boosted.
Evidently, this year there were a myriad of stars. Fan and pundit talk all centered around a star-studded team from Sierra Canyon. But Pope Paul VI out of Virginia took them down in the title game, led by a future Michigan kid, Dug McDaniel, who was awarded Tournament MVP honors. The Illini will also have to face Bryce Thornton, headed to OSU, who was the leading scorer. Others will pop up on the Illini schedule in the next 4 years I am sure as reportedly this was the most talent filled field ever. Fortunately, no 7' 3"+ kids headed for other B1G rosters showed up.
