Everyone know the names of Michael Gilchrist, Anthony Davis and Marquis Teague – all top 10 recruits according to any site you care to cite. But often under-appreciated is 2011 5-star PF Kyle Wiltjer. Oh sure, he’s “only” 15th -25th in the nation depending on which ranking you look at, but this overachiever can match up against the best of them. And he had a big day today.
The teams are practicing for the McDonald’s All-American game today and evidently Wiltjer is doing pretty well.
