Yes, I’m linking to another Al Featherston article. As long as he keeps writing these great pieces, I’m going to link to them. This one is a great look at college basketball recruiting, focusing of course on local stories and Shavlik Randolph in particular. Like his earlier works, this one has some nice stories from days gone by.
Was Featherston this good when he worked for the Durham Herald-Sun? If so, I completely missed it. Either it’s this format that sets him free (as I mentioned before), or maybe just being fired relit his spark. Either way, he’s putting out some great stuff – the kind of writing that reminds me that I’m as amateur as they come.
