Eight of the prospects playing have already committed to a college. Among those players are Canadian studs Tristan Thompson and Myck Kabongo, both whom have given the Texas Longhorns verbal commitments. The list of committed players also include Dion Waiters to Syracuse, Terrence Ross to Maryland, Austin Rivers to Florida, Jared Sullinger to Ohio State, Kendall Marshall to North Carolina, and Will Barton to Memphis. As the players got settled in at the hotel, SLAM got an exclusive opportunity to speak with some of the biggest names in the event, in anticipation of the high-profile game.
