Current Sports | 5/11/16 | #699

Dwight Howard, UM Holding Satellite Camps in Australia, Jim Harbaugh, Kristen Rasmussen, Okemos High School Basketball, and the NBA Talent Level.

On today's "Current Sports with Al Martin" it's back to Jim Harbaugh. The infamous University of Michigan satellite camps will now stretch across the Pacific Ocean, as one is set to premier in Australia. Al and engineer Isaac Constans describe the proliferation of satellite camps and why they're good for college football. Also, NBA basketball is in the spotlight because of controversial comments made by two prominent commentators. Is the NBA talent pool less dense than usual? After that, Kristen Rasmussen, the new coach for the Okemos girls' basketball team is on the line to describe her circuitous journey back home. Rasmussen helps wrap up the show by comparing the differences of overseas and WNBA professional basketball.
