Catching up on a week's worth of success...

A trio of basketball successes arrived in my mailbox over the course of the last week, so it's time to update those now.

Jackson State hoops star Trey Johnson, who currently leads Division I in scoring, returned my request in 20 days c/o the JSU athletic department. In addition to signing both index cards, he also wrote a very nice note thanking me for the support. You can view a scan of that note on the message board.

A pair of high school hoops requests also came in this week. Blake Griffin of Oklahoma Christian School returned my request in just a dozen days c/o his school. Like Johnson, the future Oklahoma Sooner signed both index cards and also included a nice note of thanks, which you can view by visiting the message board.

The second high school success came from Mamadou Diarra of Stoneridge Prep School in California. The big man, who is a native of Africa, returned the request in twelve days, signing both index cards I enclosed c/o his school. Diarra has not yet chosen a college.
