Stephon Marbury's cousin announces his choice for college

Here is the link

Sebastian Telfair, a top high school recruit, has made his decision on a college - Louisville. He still may make the jump straight to the NBA since he doesn't have to sign on the dotted line with Louisville until spring. He is Stephon Marbury's cousin and is touted as the best player to come out of his region since....well - Stephon. He is a concensus top 10 high school player.

If he does end up changing his mind in the spring to go to the NBA, he would be shortest player to attempt to go pro (6'0") and he would be the first to announce BEFORE he goes through his senior year in high school.

This guy was just in a 5 page spread in ESPN the Magazine and been on the cover of "Slam". In other words, a media driven hype-machine, albiet not near the level of Lebron.

........In even younger recruiting news.....did you hear about that 1st grader (6'3") who could take it to the rim? They say once he gets through potty training and can wear "pull-up pants", it will add 6" to his vertical. Evidently Coach K. has been trying to get diaper deal with Proctor & Gamble.
