For the two bigs, Gak and Johnson, they play at basketball factories who push their kids to branch out, so it wouldnt be as tough as pulling a kid from a public school in the heart of NYC.

Gak is also from Australia, so highly doubt he has any affinity to the local schools just based off of that.

Which is why, in a normal year, getting someone like Riley would be tough to do. But he is unranked by most services, and will not have the opportunity to blow up over the summer from AAU. His options will be limited to who can get in on him early, and that can certainly be VT.
