The nations best sophomore basketball player, Tony Wroten Jr., has been ruled ineligible to play ball for the current season. During a Seattle Public Schools investigation it was found that Tony failed to meet the residency requirements that would have allowed him to stay at Garfield High (Brandon Roy's Alma Mater). The Wrotens claim they rented a house near the school. The district, determined after an investigation including surveillance that they weren't living there.

Let's Get This Started...

I was on youtube a few weeks back checking out vids of old-school Shawn Kemp just wrecking rims. I'm talking about back when he teamed up with GP and the SuperSonics were actually contenders in the West. Not this fat 3 on 3 league Shawn Kemp. I came across something pretty interesting while searching through all the footage. It turns out The Reign Man has a son who actually has some serious game. This is not really too surprising as Shawn's chances of having a kid with some sort of talent were pretty high given that he fathered like 47 of them. The oldest of all the little Kemps, Shawn Jr., is in his senior year of high school and plays ball in Georgia. He recently committed to Alabama and is considered one of the better prospects in the country. Watching the clips of this kid and it's easy to see that he has all the tools that made his dad the player he was.
