The 6-foot-3 red-headed Goodman, who suffered sprained medial collateral ligament Monday in Maryland, had 8 points, 6 assists and 2 turnovers Thursday night.

"I'm happy because I got a chance to do what I love doing, I'm just glad to play basketball," said Goodman, who has committed orally to Maryland.

Reputation wise, he might have been better off resting the knee. Consenus was Goodman hardly looked like a blue-chip recruit, and his noteriety is due more to his religious beliefs than his on-court ability.

Seen hobbling after his one and only game at the camp, Goodman, an Orthodox Jew, went home. He would not have played Friday night or Saturday in observance of the Sabbath.

"I played well at the NBA camp two weeks ago at Princeton, but nobody was there," said Goodman, explaining why he wanted to play at Fairleigh Dickinson.

Making a point

Imari Sawyer, a point guard from Chicago's Martin Luther King HS, doesn't mind being overshadowed by New York City's talented trio of Andre Barrett, Taliek Brown and Omar Cook.

"I like being a secret," said Sawyer, who is no secret. "Wherever I go, I hear about them. But that doesn't matter to me -- there's enough attention for everybody."

Sawyer and Barrett went head-to-head Thursday. Sawyer had 10 points, 10 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 turnovers; Barrett had 13 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 turnovers.

Sawyer benefitted last year from big teammate Leon Smith, recently drafted by San Antonio in the NBA Draft then traded to Dallas.

Will Smith's absence hurt Sawyer's game? "Leon being gone is no problem," Sawyer said. "That's more shots for me."

Schools that have expressed interest in Sawyer include Connecticut, DePaul, Duke, Kentucky and UCLA.

"I'm looking for a school that gets up and down the floor, and presses a lot," he said. ...
