Jenkins Makes USA Basketball Team

Our own John Jenkins has survived a highly competitive tryout process and been selected to represent the United States as a member of the USA Basketball team that will compete at the World University Games in China next week.  This is a unique offseason opportunity for JJ to play with some of the best collegiate players in America, against international competition, under the tutelage of some quality coaches: Purdue's Matt Painter, UT's Cuonzo Martin, and Butler's Brad Stephens.  Congrats and safe travels from VSL Nation.

Here's the rest of the 12-man roster.  Not too shabby:

• Tim Abromaitis (Notre Dame / Unionville, Conn.)
• Marcus Denmon (Missouri / Kansas City, Mo.)
• Ashton Gibbs (Pittsburgh / Scotch Plains, N.J.)
• Draymond Green (Michigan State / Saginaw, Mich.)
• JaMychal Green (Alabama / Montgomery, Ala.)
