So, here's a pass you don't see every day -- or ever at all, for that matter.

During a Wednesday night high school basketball game, a young star named Jalen Adams threw an alley-oop pass to his teammate. But here's the rub: He threw it behind his back -- from half-court.

Are you kidding with this, Mr. Adams? How is this even possible?

Evan Daniels, sports-media company Scout.com's director of recruiting, was equally impressed:

Adams' teammate botched the dunk, which is actually kind of beside the point, here. It was definitely a finishable lob, on top of being an audacious idea.

Adams is ranked as the 24th overall recruit in the current senior class by ESPN.com, and is heading to the University of Connecticut this fall. Expect the 6-foot-2 guard to become a SportsCenter regular, if this play is any indication.
