At the Troy game, I wondered who the tall young man, whom I thought
appeared Chinese, standing next to Sadler, Maric, and Steve Pederson.
I wondered about the NCAA rules on recruiting foreign students.  In
many sports, especially track and more recently basketball and
volleyball, recruiting foreign players is increasing.
