Top 2011 prospects Tony Wroten Jr. and Gary Bell also attended the Washington-UCLA game.

WEEKLY WRAP
There were no high-major commitments last week. It’s an interesting time with the spring signing period a little over a month away (April 14).
For those who aren’t All-Americans, only a select number of scholarships are still available in the big six conferences.
Other key factors annually in March and April include the NBA Draft and coaches moving from one school to another.
