As we continue our “Year in Review” series here is a look at the major headlines that took place her on the Nation from March to the end of May. We had verbal commitments from players such as Alex Louin, Ariana Freeman, and Alexa Middleton. Coverage from the McDonald’s All-American game and USA Basketball in addition to a few more verbal commitments closed out a busy second half of 2013.
