There’s never been anybody like him. That size and that power and that explosiveness and that speed."

He said fans everywhere he goes want to talk about Zion. “He’s so unique,” Vitale said. “He’s not the best I’ve ever seen, I’ll tell you Andy, but he’s certainly the most unique I’ve ever seen.” Five new members appointed to NCAA DI men's basketball committee The DI men's basketball committee will feature five new members for the 2021-22 season.
