Went to the gym the morning to do a light workout (which is all I do BTW) and saw a kid out on the basketball court. Thought of going over to shoot with him but decided to hit the weights inside.  Came out and the kid was still out there so I walked over. I said Hi and thought I'd shoot some up with him. Well, he didn't miss. Shot after shot after shot after shot. EVERYTHING was going in from out near the 3 point line.  Then he did a couple of quick cross over moves took a step toward the basket and floated one up one handed.  I said "that looks like Anthony Collins". He did a double take looking at me. So I asked "Are you AC?" and sure enough it was.  So I played ball boy for him for about 1/2 hour and chatted about USF and the tournament team. Said that he's staying with a friend in our neighborhood.  He mentioned that Victor Rudd would be playing for the guys they play next.  1/2 hour was about all my bald head could take so I left and wished him well.

That's pretty cool. What gym if you don't mind me asking?

Random and awesome encounter. Still putting in the time, that's awesome--I'll definitely be rooting for him, and against VR, lol. Not cool, Victor, very not cool.

VR isn't listed on the Overseas Elite roster but could have been added and it not updated yet. That will suck if true.

When I first read your story, I skimmed it and assumed Victor was going to play for the Bulls.  What a bummer.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
