He's been pumping out story upon story of good work, and this week, that included covering the AAU tournament schedule in Las Vegas. Here's his UA-related stories on Arizona target Kaleb Tarczewski, a story about how he chose incorrectly in watching Wildcat commit Gabe York's Compton Magic instead of recent UCLA commit Dominic Artis and a detailed account of the atmosphere at one of the bigger AAU tournaments in the nation.
