Just asking

Down in the Southland, T.J. Leaf earlier selected Arizona before a reconsideration that now has him going with UCLA

"...The cynic will say that it’s where adidas thought he was supposed to be. Moments after pulling on a Bruins cap on live TV, Leaf held up a pair of customized adidas UCLA sneakers. Schools are not allowed to give prospects gear, which raises the question of whether adidas gave them to him for the ESPNU telecast. (Leaf was unavailable for comment.)

The Foothills Christian basketball team, where Leaf’s father Brad is the coach, has been sponsored by adidas for years. Leaf also plays for the Compton Magic, an adidas-backed AAU club that now has had all five starters commit to UCLA, which is sponsored by adidas as well. Compton Magic coach Etop Udo-Ema accompanied Leaf to the studio where he made the live announcement and tweeted photos of it..."

So how did the commit to Nike-fed Arizona ever come to be?
