And I would walk 500 more?
Ben Hansen does the legwork. It doesn't seem as if Lute Olson is going anywhere soon.It’s impressive that the Wildcat coaching staff was able to get six of the nation’s premier underclass prospects to come into town on unofficials for Midnight Madness.
UA isn’t spending one dime on them to come.
Each of the six kids’ parents are footing the bill, and aren’t exactly making an insignificant cross-town trek to get here, either.
Let’s associate each of the six kids with their respective hometowns and add the exact distance mileage-wise each has to travel to Tucson.
-Chase Budinger, 6-6 Jr. SF – Carlsbad, Calif. (437 miles).
-James Keefe, 6-9 Jr. WF – Coto de Caza, Calif. (483 miles).
-Alex Stepheson, 6-9 Jr. PF – Studio City, Calif. (501 miles).
-Quincy Pondexter, 6-7 Jr. WG – Fresno, Calif. (706 miles).
-Josh Lomers, 7-0 Jr. C – Boerne, Tex. (837 miles).
-Keith Olson, 6-11 Soph. C – Gardnerville, Nev. (839 miles).
That’s a minimum driving time of six hours to Tucson.
