Costa Rica!
Tomorrow in the early morning, I'm off to Costa Rica for the holiday weekend. The blog will be quiet through Tuesday. Check the blogroll for interesting commentary.I tried, but didn't find much to tie Costa Rica to college basketball. Besides offshore gambling and two tidbits.
1) Jackson State (Jackson, MS) just signed Hernol Hall, a 6-10 high school center from the Central American nation. Hall, a member of the Costa Rican National Team, had also been recruited by Nebraska.
2) Last summer, Kelvin Sampson took his Oklahoma club to Costa Rica for a series of four exhibition games. In the fall, Sampson credited the trip with helping the Sooners get an early jump on conditioning.
