Two hoops successes, one NCAA and one HS...

A pair of basketball successes arrived in the mailbox today, one from the college level and a second from the prep ranks. In fact, this is my first ever success from a high school player.

UCLA's Luc Richard Mbah a Moute signed and returned both index cards I enclosed. That request, which was sent care of the UCLA Athletic Department, took just 13 days. This success comes a few months after a failed request to Mbah a Moute that I sent back in early September. Perhaps the Bruins' star had some free time over the Christmas break.

LaceDarius Dunn, an up-and-coming hoops prospect out of Excelsior Christian School in Louisiana, became high school success number one when he returned one of the two index cards I had enclosed in just six days. Dunn, who will attend Baylor next fall, signed care of his school's mailing address.
