I saw that and just shook my head.
Every future basketball star, which is what the article was about (Division I type players) that I've been over the past 40 years was a big-time player in grade school, in middle school and then in high school. None of them come out of nowhere.

Known around the country? I find that hard to believe considering the guys he was talking about were from the 40s through the 80's, which means before the internet. Sure, they might have been known around here, but we think some 6th grader around here is going to be awesome every year and it ends up being a complete bust as usual.

I doubt anyone in California or New York had heard of even Richie Farmer before his time at UK.
