Kevon Seymour of Pasadena (Calif.) Muir was annoyed he had No. 41 instead of his preferred No. 1. And Seymour willingly admits he'll look at the rosters of potential colleges to see if No. 1 is available. If it's not, the school's chances of landing him diminish.
One was visibly upset.
Mike Davis of Stone Mountain (Ga.) Stephenson made such a fuss about his assigned No. 16 that he was given a new number (14), making him the only player without his name on his jersey. But that didn't help - neither was the No. 28 he wanted.
Number assignments are a reccurring issue at all-star events. Not only are stars used to getting the number they want, many want the same number. So putting in requests (as all games ask the players to do) doesn't necessarily solve the problem.
"What are we going to do? We've got 35 kids who want a single-digit number, and we've only got nine," bowl official John Schmid said.
