by Kent Sterling Saturdays from 11a-1p are the two favorite hours of my week. Fox 59 sports director Chris Hagan and I get to sit in front of microphones and try to make sense out of sports. What could be more fun than that? It’s especially fun with some guests from whom we can extract […]

by Kent Sterling I’m equally mystified why it’s a big deal when a 17 year-old changes his mind and why a coach would offer a scholarship to a 14 year-old. When I was a senior in high school and found myself more popular than I ever should have been, I asked girls out because it […]
by Kent Sterling Recruiting basketball players is a tough game for coaches, and there are different strategies for each program. Some cast a wide net, and other are more specific in their targeting.
