A star basketball player from Norcross High School -- one of the best players in the country -- was arrested Friday in Gwinnett County on charges of aggravated assault and trespassing, police said. Al-Farouq Aminu, a 6-foot-8 senior who has signed to play for Wake Forest, was arrested by Gwinnett County sheriff's deputies and was being held in the county jail Friday night, a police spokesman said. Aminu turned himself in Friday after authorities obtained warrants for his arrest and was booked into the jail shortly before 6 p.m., a sheriff's spokeswoman said. Aminu is accused of shooting a female with a BB gun from a vehicle on March 14.

wdogg, hmmm, 17 wins with freshmen and sophomores this year, I think improvement next year is a foregone conclusion, even without the incoming second ranked recruiting class in the nation (and yes, this will be a minor speedbump for Aminu).
