Those interested in a concise report on how local players did in the NBA summer league may digest those sentences and get on with their day. Of course, anyone interested in how ...
The only college football question being asked in June is, “Well, how’s that recruiting going?” To which every diehard alumnus will respond, “Great, just great.
