A first impression of top basketball recruits
Posted Apr 4, 2009
Dexter Strickland (UNC): Like a lot of shooting guards in this [McDonald's All-American] game, Strickland got lost in the chaos, missing all four of his field-goal tries and finishing with two points in 15 minutes. Nobody wanted to let a play develop and no one wanted to kick out to the 3-point line (dunks and your own 3s only). He could be the next Ray Allen, but we couldn't tell from Wednesday's game.
