BRW, it did seem strange that everything about him was pointing toward AZ but his high school was in TX.

Outstanding. For those of us in process of moving to Dallas, hope this area generates interest as well. Great recruiting territory.
Now if we can only attract some of the local centers and power forwards....

Recent Bucknell commit, John Azzinaro showed way he is San Antonio's best scorer and one of the top in the state.

It was kind of tough to hear the interview, but I think that Azzinaro said that he was first team all state or first team all city. Which is correct?
Also, the coach talked about him being a pass first PG who lead San Antonio in scoring. Does anybody know if he can shoot the 3?

He can definitely shoot the three. Shot 76-192 (40%) last season. Better, he hit 48% on threes during the second half of the year. Despite the "pass first" comments, it's clear he often played off the ball, since he didn't even lead his team in assists. I expect he will see significant time at SG on offense, perhaps taking over the Bryson Johnson role.
One thing I'm excited about is that he can reportedly shoot accurately off the dribble - something that very few BU players have been able to do. I'm not talking about taking a jump shot after a soft dribble or two, with no close defender - but rather pulling up quickly for a mid-range jumper after making an aggressive move to the basket while tightly defended.

Azzinaro with 31 in a loss. Marcus Keene (Youngstown State) put up 37 in the win. Sounds like the two were guarding each other

Does this mean we should worry about Azzinaro's defense?

I didn't want to say it since it's the first game of the season. Let's just focus on the 31 for the time being

Azzinaro (who will be spending his senior year in San Antonio after all) was also named to the "Pre-Season All Area Team"
