Highs & Lows: McDonald's All-American Dunkers
An Oklahoma State recruit creatively named LeBryan Nash (a terrifying hybrid of LeBron and Steve Nash?) won the McDonald's All-American dunk contest last night at Chicago State, but the Chicago media is buzzing about one young man who wasn't able to compete.
Morgan Park guard/forward Wayne Blackshear, one of three locals picked for the nation's premier high school all-star games, dislocated his left shoulder during Monday's practice session, knocking him out of the dunk contest and Wednesday's game. He's got a sling on his arm, but the Louisville recruit shouldn't be out too long.
Chicago basketball fans will have to make do Wednesday night with two other local all-stars: Kentucky recruit Anthony Davis of Perspectives-MSA and Tennessee recruit Ariel Massengale of Bolingbrook.
