As further evidence that college coaches closely follow middle school basketball standouts, Mike Saunders Jr. (5'6'/PG/2020/Indianapolis, IN), recently picked up a D-I scholarship offer from the indiana-based IUPUI. We last saw Saunders, a crafty and skilled PG with a High IQ, at the UA Next Combine in Columbus last month, where his play was outstanding and garnered him further national acclaim. As the lead guard for the nationally ranked George Hill Rising Stars, Saunders has been on the national stage for many years. Congrats to Mike Saunders Sr. and Junior for this most significant accomplishment!
