It has been business as usual for Salpointe Catholic junior basketball wingΒ Majok Deng, who last week was offered a scholarship by UCLA to go with those from Arizona and most of the Western powers. But it was a coming-of-age month on the AAU circuit for Salpointe sophomore guardΒ Evan Nelson, who was offered scholarships by New Mexico and Grand Canyon. But perhaps the emerging name of the summer in Tucson hoops is Amphi junior-to-beΒ Jackson Ruai, who was offered a scholarship by Nevada last week. Ruai, a versatile and athletic, 6-foot 3-inch wing player, is on Dengβs Arizona Power AAU club, which means he is being evaluated by virtually every top-25 program in the country.Β
