Does anyone here think that they'll be doing any sports after high school? If you do do you think you could get a scholarship at a big-time school to play?As for me, I think I might be able to do track at some small college, maybe as a walk on or something, cause I dont think I'm anywhere near good enough for any kind or scholarships.
I might have a chance in baseball, or I hope. I've had lots of people say I'm really good and I should keep working and training because I might have a future in it. And not just Joe down the street either. 2 former Tigers (Milt Wilcox, Dave Roezma), a scout for the Devil Rays, and a couple high school coaches in the area were impressed. I don't know. I'm not going to be counting on it.
By the time I'm done with High School, which is four years from now, I may be able to play Golf for a d-1 college, if not, I'd be surprised if I can't play d-3.
I was serioulsy looking at going to college for football, but I broke my ankle...then I had heasrt surgery....I was a very good linebacker and I won many awards...and was a all-city allstar starter...so I had a nice future....

Yeah...I liked playing it okay..but I didnt have a love for it..I wouldnt have gone any further than college.
If I would've stuck with track, I would've been pretty darn good at it. Maybe get a scholarship or something.
I will be playing basketball for college, my coaches actually think I can play basketball overseas. I could see myself coming off the bench for a Euro team.

So many European players are great players from where they came from...a lot of very good American college players....etc....

Most shooters play well in any system, regardless of the competition. I'm extremely athletic/quick for my size, I shock alot of people with my speed.My coaches think I could play Euro ball, I'm going along with what their opinion is.

I'm not the Kyle Korver type, I do things other than score. Considering my coach has coached some of the best players in the state (including Allen Iverson) It means something coming from his mouth...

You're gonna need to eat some food though man. Since you've gone all anorexic, you make Tayshaun Prince look like David Ortiz.
This isnt directed towards you BALLA...but I dont think some people realize how good DLeague, Euro, CBA players really are...they are extremely talent and good and athletic. And those are the ones nto good enough for the NBA....
