Why did Syracuse basketball recruit underrated John Bol Ajak? (Mike's Mailbox)

Syracuse, N.Y. -- It's not quite basketball season, but fall is still a great time of the year for basketball fans.

Practice has started. The regular season is just a month away. And for the real hoop-heads, recruiting is heating up.

After scouting and evaluating high school recruits, college coaches are finally starting to hear from those recruits.

Earlier this week, Syracuse received a commitment from John Bol Ajak, a 6-foot-11 senior at Westtown School in West Chester, Pa.

Ajak's decision sparked quite a few questions from readers. We'll get to those questions and a few more in this week's Mike's Mailbox.
