Adam Zagoria covers basketball at all levels. He is the author of two books and an award-winning journalist whose articles have appeared in ESPN The Magazine, SLAM, Sheridan Hoops, Sports Illustrated, Basketball Times and in newspapers nationwide.
Myles Mack is the No. 114 ranked basketball prospect by Rivals.com for the Class of 2011 with scholarships offers from various Big East, ACC and SEC schools.

Mack politely declined to comment when reached by text. His father Wayne, however, had plenty to say.
“I’m very shocked,” he said. “My wife called and told me and I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me?’
“We didn’t know at all. We didn’t know anything. We thought everything was fine and then all of a sudden — boom.”
