Polite on the Capital All Stars, no surprise, but, Kolek on the US All Stars!! Has a Mason recruit ever been on the US squad? When is this game? Sweet.....
Andre Cornelius played in the Capital Classic didn’t he? Being from North Carolina he’d have to be on the USA side right? Yeah. He had 13 points and 8 assists and 4 steals in the game.
Actually I was just informed Mar was too...ki d of a buzz kill but still exciting.. Cornelius sounds right...too
I believe I read somewhere that Lew Howard is coaching the Capitol All Star team (Polite's coach at Oxon Hill).
I think Paris Bennett played in the Capital Classic. I thought Sammy Hernandez did as well. Or, was it Otis Birdsong? The year the game was at EBA, we had someone on the national team. I can't remember what year it was or who it was. I am old
Could be right about Bennett, he came from that PVI-type place with all the talent...gonna have to do some research on historic rosters...

Was named Tri-State Player of the Year, All-State and Team MVP... Played in the Capital Classic and the Jordan Brand Classic... Named the top small forward recruit in the CAA by Rivals.com."
Capital classic is cool. Went with @MasonFanatic a few weeks before I moved out of northern va. Off the top of my head I saw goanar mar (obviously the main draw) Luke Garza, Deion Hammond, Chris lykes. It’s a glorified all star game, but it’s a very cool honor to have kolek and polite play. Various high major and mid major players get the honor. I remember mar had a nice block in transition and maybe a three pointer.
It took me a second to get your response since I haven't heard that name in years...maybe decades. I think I have his rookie card with the Kansas City Kings. Yes, I'm old...
