The Star’s 2012-13 high school boys basketball player of the year, Rincon/University center Asha Esprit, has chosen not to continue his basketball career. He is attending the UA on an academic scholarship (he scored 2,100 on his SAT test). Esprit averaged 24.7 points and 10.1 rebounds for coach Rich Utter’s Rangers last year and, at minimum, would be a likely starter in the ACCAC or at a mid-level four-year school of his choice.
