As many of you have no doubt heard, Scout.com's national director of recruiting Brandon Huffman's daughter Avery was unexpectedly diagnosed earlier this week with an inoperable brain tumor. You can read Brandon's updates on this nightmare of a week at Avery's CaringBridge site, and if you are able, please take the chance to donate at Avery's GoFundMe page. (Very cool to see UCLA coach JIm Mora and his wife Shannon make a $2,500 contribution, by the way.)
