Welcome to National All or Nothing Day!
It’s time to quit testing the waters and playing the “what if” game. July 26th is National All or Nothing Day! Whether it’s a job commitment, overcoming a fear, or even a relationship, now is the time to fully commit. Force yourself to make a decision – all or nothing.

Arizona offers 2018 4-star PG Jalen Carey (azdesertswarm.com; Sills-Trausch)
Even with offers out to highly-ranked point guards Jahvon Quinerly and Devon Dotson, Sean Miller’s search for second point guard commit in 2018 continues.
On Monday, the Arizona Wildcats offered four-star point guard Jalen Carey. The New York native is the No. 60 player in his class and No. 11 point guard, according to 247Sports.
Carey has seen his stock rise of late with impressive play on the Nike Basketball circuit.

In 19 games (16 at Nike EYBL and three at Nike Peach Jam), Carey averaged 18.6 points and two assists per game for Playaz Club, shooting 46 percent from the field and 43 percent from 3.
At 6-foot-3, Carey has the ability to play both on and off the ball (like current UA point guard commit Brandon Williams), without the team giving anything up height-wise.

Buffalo Basketball: Quate McKinzie Charged With Strangulation (campussports.net; Napoles)
Don’t expect to see Buffalo basketball player Quate McKinzie on the court again anytime soon. According to the Buffalo News, the 20-year old Bulls forward is facing serious charges, including multiple felony counts.
The numerous charges all stem from an altercation with a female acquaintance that McKinzie allegedly attempted to strangle. After being arrested, he placed a threatening phone call to the woman from the Erie County Holding Center.
McKinzie’s bond had originally been set at $15,000, which he was unable to post. After the second string of charges were brought to the attention of the presiding judge, his right to post bail was revoked. In one fell swoop, McKinzie’s rap sheet is long, daunting, and likely spells the end of his basketball career.
If that is the worst of it, he should consider himself fortunate.
The 6-foot-8 sophomore could face significant time in prison. He originally faced charges of second-degree strangulation, a D-felony; misdemeanor counts of criminal obstruction of breathing, assault, menacing, harassment; and stealing the victim’s vehicle.
However, after placing the threading phone call, the list got longer. Add third-degree witness intimidation and first-degree criminal contempt, both E-felonies; and two misdemeanors, aggravated harassment and disobeying a court mandate.
