The 2007 Nike Hoop Summit took place on Saturday, April 7th. Despite having one of the more talented teams in recent memory, the World Team struggled to match up with the athleticism and talent of the USA squad. After falling behind by more than 25 in the first half, the World squad was able to rally to close the gap to 10. Team USA put them away with a run in the fourth quarter. The following is a recap of the 21 participant's performances and an outlook of their potential.

Guess what, I’m not learning. I’m going to doubt Ohio State once more. Florida is my pick. They were my preseason pick, and I doubted them only because of weaknesses shown at points in the regular season.

As much as I enjoy rooting for the underdog, too often the Cinderella Sweet Sixteen team falls dead once it gets to the regional semifinals. So while the first weekend was less entertaining, the quality of the teams remaining will make next weekend extremely interesting.
