Would be a complete joke if this is the case. It says all players aren't confirmed. I hope

Four Big East players have been tabbed to compete in the 24th World University Games July 2-12 in Belgrade, Serbia.

Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan will coach the team and the selection committee was chaired by Syracuse University head coach Jim Boeheim.

Also this summer, the 2009 FIBA U19 World Championship will be held July 2-12 in Auckland, New Zealand. The team’s training camp will be held June 16-28 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Here are the confirmed players for the trials: Tyshawn Taylor of Kansas; Kemba Walker of UConn; Darryl “Truck” Bryant of West Virginia; Larry Drew of North Carolina; Klay Thompson of Washington State; Seth Curry of Duke; Kenny Boynton of Florida; Maalik Wayns of Villanova; Gordon Hayward of Butler; Sylven Landesberg of Virginia; Al Farouq-Aminu of Wake Forest; Howard Thompkins of Georgia; Drew Gordon of UCLA; and Arnett Moultrie of UTEP.

You guys sure he's not going to be 20 by then? Anyone know his birthday? School status? Start school a year late? Did he get held back in elementary or something? I know plenty of college freshman that turned 20 during the summer.

Collins isn't on the U19 team, he's on a team at the World University Games. People, let's actually read the article.

Willie will be 20 in October.

He should be on either team with a bullet.

He didn't pick blake for a team, and went with Flynn and Devendork or w/e.
