Desmond Hubert pushes past strife to excel on court
Posted Dec 16, 2010
Desmond Hubert, a 6-foot-10 center at New Egypt (NJ) High School, is why assistant coaches from North Carolina and Maryland have been topping off their tanks in Cream Ridge lately. But before Desmond, 18, can even think about leading the pampered life of major basketball star, there are chores to be finished. Mr. Blue Chip Recruit changes oil filters. He sweeps the floor. And, yes, he pumps gas in the rain and freezing weather. When he’s home, Hubert also vacuums, takes out the trash and mows the lawn.
