From the Lake-County News Sun:
Paul (9 points), playing for Richmond’s opponent on this day, also made his bones on the AAU circuit, where he was courted by Bruce Weber and the Illini.
This is Nickerson’s second year playing AAU, and he’s come to like it even better than playing high-school ball.
“It’s way more physical and aggressive,” said the Waukegan junior, who came on strong for the Bulldogs in the second half of the year. “Players are way more hungry because it’s more of a showcase for college scouts. And the competition’s better. It makes it more challenging.”
