Durand writes about camper Kobe at the Jim Larranaga basketball camp last week.
âThis is Kobe. He’s a camper at the Jim Larranaga University of Miami basketball camp that I currently work. Today he brought tears to my eyes. Kobe has diabetes, poor hearing which makes him wear two hearing aids, and causes difficulty of speech. For a kid to come to camp as enthused as he does everyday as helped me to realize life is to precious for one to greave over. Today upon dismissal Kobe ran to me with his arms open ready for a hug and said “goodbye Durand Scott, your a super star” & as I picked him up with a tight hug a tear of joy ran down my face đ˘ Now that’s life for you ….â
Scouting the Miami/West Virginia Matchup: WVU Coliseum, 7 P.M.
When the West Virginia Mountaineers take the floor tonight at the WVU Coliseum (7 p.m., ESPN2), they will face a Miami roster full of unfamiliar faces and new contributors. But for one Mountaineer, tonightâs contest against the Hurricanes may very well feel like another day on the playground.
Darryl âTruckâ Bryant, one of the teamâs most talented guards, will be facing off against childhood friend and former AAU teammate Durand Scott for just the second time in their collegiate careers. Bryant and Scott, two members of a self-named clique titled âF4Lâ (Family 4 Life), also include former UConn guard Kemba Walker and Drexel standout Chris Fouch among their tightknit group.
Though they will be forever connected by the âF4Lâ tattoos they share, Saturday nightâs game will be business as usual for two of the more talented guards in college basketball.
Bryant, averaging 15.2 points per game in his senior campaign for the Mountaineers, keys an offensive attack averaging just over 77 points per game through seven contests in 2011. Fellow senior and Preseason All-BIG EAST First Team selection Kevin Jones (21.3 points per game, 11.7 rebounds per game) is a 6-foot-8 forward who leads the charge for a team ranked No. 22 nationally in rebound margin (+8.2).
The Hurricanes, who edged out the Mountaineers 79-76 in last seasonâs contest at the BankUnited Center, return only two active scorers from their 2010 battle with West Virginia. If Miami plans to leave the WVU Coliseum with a similar result, theyâll need to limit opportunities for Bryant (20 points last year) and Jones (14 points, five rebounds).
