NEW YORK — Kadeem Jack woke up at 5 a.m. Arizona time, boarded a 7 o’clock flight and landed at Kennedy International Airport at 5 p.m.
After taking a two-day official visit to the Arizona campus, the 6-foot-9, 210-pound senior was on the basketball court at Long Island University-Brooklyn by 8 p.m.
He still had enough energy to throw down a monstrous two-handed dunk in the final minutes as Rice, the top Catholic League team in New York City, beat Boys & Girls, the top public school program, 56-44, in the 3rd Annual SNY Invitational.
“I’m exhausted,” said Jack, who put up 12 points, 12 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks in front of assistant coaches from Miami and Providence. “I just had to come out and play my best and I think played better the second half.”

For being exhausted and grabbing 12 Reb….not bad at all.
Enjoyed his quote…
“Good Stuff….
Funny statement from KJ.
He was exhausted.
And…
The Rice senior said he doesn’t plan on taking any more official visits right before games.
“Never,” he said. “Never again.”
LOL
Note: Arizona appreciated the visit…
