Can you tell us what a "normal" recruiting trip is like for a perspective player and or what actually happens when the coaches aren't around?

Thanks for doing this Casper.

I'm on club team at my college which is moderately competitive (practices 2x week, different local and occasionally national tourneys on weekends). I'm unsure of what kind of weightlifting regimen I could do that would maximize results and not take too much of a toll on my body.

Are you familiar with your team's in season workout regimen? Could you give a sample week, or maybe just some general important exercises (squat, clean, etc)?

[jds1201]

how much do you think the shoe companies are controlling/influencing recruiting at the highest level?

Do you think all levels of American basketball (college, professional, and international) would be be better served if college basketball adopted the 3-year rule like football.

Should the 3-point arc be moved back in college? Even if it is to the International Range?
