Dusan Langura, an incoming freshman at Georgia, tore his ACL when a bomb exploded while he was serving required military duty in his native Switzerland.

"It really is a unique story," Fox said, in a slight understatement. "He was injured in the explosion, and one of the injuries was a torn ACL. We had committed to have him come. He can really shoot the ball. He was gonna be on our team. He had to serve his military commitment, and this happened during it. We're still gonna honor our commitment to him, and once he gets healthy he'll be out there with us. But he probably won't be cleared to practice until January or February."

Langura is a preferred walk-on for Georgia.

Kaleb Joseph has cut his list of schools to Providence, Syracuse and West Virginia.

Joseph is ranked 51st overall and No. 10 amongst point guards for the Class of 2014.

“Throughout the whole recruiting process, those three schools stood out the most and made it known that I was a priority for them since Day One,” Joseph said. 

Chris Egi is a 6’9”, 210 lbs forward from St. Andrew’s College in Canada. He has committed to Montverde Academy for this year and is being recruited intensely by Stanford, Harvard and Washington.

At the CIA Bounce Caribana Classic Tournament this past weekend, Egi stated why he selected Montverde as his school of choice.

“I just want to play against tougher competition day in and day out. I think Coach (Kevin) Boyle and the coaching staff are going to push me every day in practice,” said Egi.

When asked what he loves the most about his game, Egi cited his motor and ability to outwork his opponents.

“Getting my body a little bit stronger to compete against bigger guys, and working on my jump shot from the mid-range area,” Egi told RealGM when asked what part of his game he’s been working on.

“If I could pick any school in the world, it would probably be Duke. That would be a dream come true,” continued Egi.

Good friends with Andrew Wiggins, when asked who he’d want to play for in the NBA, Egi said, “I would have to say the Raptors, my hometown team. I would love to team up with Andrew.”

Marcus Smart returned home from the USA Basketball minicamp this week.

Smart didn’t log any minutes in Team USA’s Blue-White scrimmage, but he’s bringing home a newfound confidence in his abilities and intentions to compete at the pro level.

"I don't feel that far removed from them," Smart said of competing against the likes of Kyrie Irving and Damian Lillard. "I still have a lot of work, obviously, but it's not a surprise for me now.

"I got a taste of what it feels like to play on the next level with that group of guys, and it's not as big of a surprise for me as I expected it to be."

Smart plans to take it easy for a few weeks before reporting back to campus for what he recently determined will be his final year at OSU.

"I decided to stay one more year at Oklahoma State to get myself ready for the NBA and the next level," he said. "It was kind of coming up here and playing with these guys, just getting a taste of it.

"I felt like one (more) year was good for me to stay. Staying another year (beyond his sophomore season) wouldn't really help me at all. One is fine, but I doubt another year would be as beneficial as the one year I decided to stay."

Rick Pitino cites Joel Embiid as the most impressive recruit he's seen in the Class of 2013.

Embiid committed to Kansas and is joined by Andrew Wiggins.

“I think Kansas could have the No. 1 and No. 2 picks in the draft with [Andrew] Wiggins and Embiid. [Embiid] does everything,” Pitino said.

Embiid, a seven-foot center, is projected as the 12th overall pick in the 2014 Mock Draft by Draft Express.

Kentucky had the two top picks in the 2012 NBA Draft in Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

Julius Randle doesn’t want to be defined by conventional position.

“I just like to be defined as a player,” Randle said. “Anywhere you put me on the court, I feel like I can be very effective. I definitely pride myself on being able to do a lot of different things, making my weaknesses my strengths, and just not being able to stop one thing.”

Randle believes he’ll develop further under the structure and tutelage of John Calipari.

“Ultimately I wanted to win,” Randle said. “That was the biggest thing. I wanted to be developed. I feel like this was the place that I could be developed. I feel like the system, how coach Cal plays … I feel like it fit me way too well.”

Kyle Wiltjer has decided to transfer to Gonzaga.

Wiltjer decided to leave Kentucky last month.

Wiltjer was a McDonald's All-American in 2011.

Travis Ford was asked where Marcus Smart would've been selected in last month's NBA draft.

"Two," Ford answered quickly. "Orlando was picking him no matter what."

Smart has drawn high praise from just about anyone who has ever seen him play.

"I've never been around another player in my whole life -- not when I was a player and not since I've been a coach -- that is able to bring it EVERY SINGLE DAY," Ford said. "I don't care if it's two-a-days, three-a-days or five-a-days. I don't care if it's 6 a.m. I don't care if it's the day after a big win. It's ridiculous. I knew he was a great leader, but it's even been a shock to me. Everybody, at some point, has a bad day in terms of coming ready to play. But he never takes a day off. He comes everyday to win every drill. Everyday. Every drill. I don't care when it is or what it is. Everyday he's ready. It's ridiculous."

Smart was the only college player invited to the USA Basketball’s July minicamp.

When winning the Gatorade Athlete of the Year Award, Andrew Wiggins was asked which NBA team he would like to play for.

"I would like to say the Raptors, I want to play for them," said Wiggins.

Wiggins is expected to be the top overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.

The Raptors were a late lottery team last season.

Wiggins was born in Toronto.

Andrew Wiggins was named the 2013 Gatorade High School Male Athlete of the Year.

Wiggins is the sixth basketball player to win the award in its 11-year history and the first since Brandon Knight.

"It feels pretty good to know I'm the first Canadian to get this, so it's really big for my country," he said. "I really wanted to win it."

Kevin Love, Greg Oden, Greg Paulus, Dwight Howard and LeBron James have also won the award.
