Poll - Coolest-Named Opponent - Round 21

Congrats to our Louisville round winner, Mangok Mathiang.

Interesting bit of trivia:  DePaul has two team members who hail from Las Vegas.  Unfortunately for the team, neither is from Findlay Prep, the school started by the Vegas car dealership magnate specifically to spawn great basketball players.  Moses, however, is from rival Palo Verde HS, which is no slouch when it comes to great sports teams.

Some more:
Moses = committed to Marquette's Jerry Wainwright, shunning I4 a week after visiting with Crean. Morgan's dad played at Indiana in the 80's.

Findlay Prep players have actually gone to school at Henderson International School. Henderson closed their college prep program a couple of years ago... but I think they still have some janky deal where they educate the Findlay Prep kids.. so, Findlay is still more or less a basketball program, with the kids going to Henderson..... they've pushed out 100% NCAA qualifiers though.

Also, most high schools in Vegas seem to have the exact same design.

Also, most high schools in Vegas seem to have the exact same design.

That's probably because most of them were built during that city's tremendous growth spurt.  Why design a high school from scratch when you can reuse the plans from the one you built a year ago?
